Nau mai, haere mai — welcome to Little Footprints

Little Footprints Care and Education Centre is a bright, purpose-built space thoughtfully created to support children through every stage of their early learning journey. In our nurturing environment, children are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace, surrounded by care, warmth, and encouragement.
Our team is made up of 80% qualified teachers, and all qualified staff hold current first aid certification. Our educators are passionate about nurturing each child and supporting them to become confident and capable learners through a rich, engaging curriculum.
Conveniently located at 79 Marsden Street in Lower Hutt, just a short walk from the train station, we provide quality care and education for children aged 0–5 years. Our centre is open from 7:30am to 5:30pm, supporting families with flexible, reliable care. We would love to welcome your family into our community — please get in touch to arrange a visit!
