te whare whai hua
​early learning centre

As a unique part of Te Aka Ora, Te Whare Whai Hua (TWWH) is a Ministry of Education (MOE) accredited Early Childhood Centre nestled in the heart of Lytton High School.
Te Whare Whai Hua opened in the early 2000's as an initiative to support the Lytton High School Teen Parent Unit with their pēpi. It was developed to enable teen māmā to continue to their educational journey, while having their pēpi close by. 
TWWH is also open to the wider community as a childcare center who support and nurture tamariki to develop as confident learners. As an early childhood service, TWWH is underpinned by Te Whāriki, while being guided by current Licensing Criteria and Regulations. 

With the recent update to the ECE Regulations for Kai within the centre, here is a link to the bluebook of information on these regulations.
