Who We Are
A second home in the heart of Lyttelton
Since 2017, Little Toddlers Creche has been caring for the children of Lyttelton, Centurion and the surrounding suburbs. What began as a small, family-run creche has grown into a trusted preschool and aftercare — but the feeling has never changed.
We believe children learn best when they feel secure, loved and free to be curious. Our days are built around play, conversation, music, movement and plenty of outdoor time, with gentle structure that quietly prepares little ones for big school.
- Small groups so every child is truly known
- Daily communication with parents
- School readiness woven into everyday play
