Philosophy
The philosophy of Uptown Kids Childcare Centre is based on the principles and strands of Te Whariki curriculum. We value a supportive and safe environment where families and staff form a strong community working together for the care and education of the children of the community it serves.

The purposes and aims of the Centre encompass the following:
- To provide a curriculum that empowers children to learn and grow.
- To recognise each individual child and their family as unique.
- To value and respect the different cultural and social backgrounds.
- To provide an environment where children and their families feel a sense of belonging and receive support.
- To provide a safe and healthy environment for children and adults associated with the Centre.
- To provide an environment that encourages spontaneous learning.
- To promote peaceful conflict resolution.
- To acknowledge and foster the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
"Thank you Uptown Kids for providing a warm, caring and safe environment for Ellis and Elliot. The staff are highly experienced and very friendly. One of the core strengths of this centre is their passion for a family-like environment for children. We never experienced this level of service with other centres we tried around the Greenlane - Epsom - Newmarket area. We highly recommend Uptown Kids!
