Kia ora

My names Michelle and I am the centre manager here at Lollipops Waiuku.

I’ve been in early childhood for 15 years and counting. I started studying in 2010 and qualified in 2013 with a degree in Early childhood education. I started working for Lollipops Waiuku in 2023 and have enjoyed every moment getting to know the families and team within the centre.

I’m a mum to 3 beautiful boys when I am out of centre who all keep me busy in their own individual ways. I enjoy sports in the weekends, including rugby and netball. But mostly I enjoy the time I spend with my family, with almost 8 nieces and nephews who have mostly been through centres with me my passion is strong for early childhood. I thrive in watching children develop through infancy to the preschool years to graduate and start in primary school.

Our Centre
Open Close

At Lollipops Waiuku, we focus on providing a nurturing, family-oriented environment where children can thrive. Our deep connection to the local community ensures that your child feels supported and part of our wider whānau, helping them develop both socially and emotionally.

Our purpose-built centre features spacious indoor and outdoor areas, with a play-based curriculum that encourages exploration, creativity, and hands-on learning. We believe that a positive learning environment starts with strong relationships between educators, children, and families.

At Lollipops Waiuku, each age group enjoys tailored learning experiences that suit their stage of development. From our “be ready for school” programme to community events, there’s always something exciting happening to help your child grow and learn.

Local care, supported by a bigger team

Our centre is proudly part of Evolve Education Group, giving us the strength and support of a wider network, with access to expertise and resources that help our centre, kaiako and tamariki thrive. 

That means our kaiako can focus on what matters most: building strong relationships with whānau, creating wonderful learning environments and helping every child feel safe, confident and ready to explore their world.

For whānau, it means enjoying all the warmth, connections and care of their local centre, with the added peace of mind knowing there's a whole group working to support quality early learning for your little one.

So, whether your whānau chooses Active Explorers, Lollipops, Learning Adventures or one of Evolve’s other brands, you’ll find a centre with its own unique character and a team dedicated to helping your child thrive.
