Welcome to The Wildlings
The Wildlings Educational Community, operates early childhood education centre’s in the South Auckland area. At The Wildlings, we work in partnership with families, to support tamariki to achieve their goals. We want nothing more than to support your children learning and helping them to thrive.
The Wildlings are dedicated to building strong relationships with tamariki and whānau, as we understand this is vital to helping tamariki to flourish. We believe that by nurturing our tamariki like kākano (seeds), we can build a great ngahere (forest).

What Parents Have to Say
The Wildlings Help You Grow
“The whaea’s are the heart of The Wildlings. They are caring, loving, and firm but fair, which aligns with our parenting values. If you’re looking for a place where your babies will be nurtured, challenged, and supported to grow into themselves, this is it.”
– Tasha
The Wildlings Care
“I know The Wildlings truly care about my son. They communicate with me how his day was and what he did so we can talk about it later, and ask how his night was to find out if he needs extra support that day. I wish there were more centre’s like this.”
– Shan
Understand Individual Needs
“The Wildlings understands my son and his needs, which is so important having an autistic child. The whaea’s work with his intervention teacher to ensure his individual needs and goals are met. He thrives with the calm environment.”
