Welcome to ABC Parkside


ABC Parkside is located opposite the Hagley netball courts and is handy to the Addington Business District and Christchurch Public & Women’s Hospitals. We are a purpose-built centre with separate nursery and preschool play spaces. We offer full-time, part-time and sessional (morning or afternoon) hours.

Our nursery area is spacious, relaxed and inviting; our nursery team understands the importance of slowing down and giving children their full attention during those all important routine times of eating, sleeping and nappy changing. By working at the child’s pace, we are able to ensure their ever-changing needs are nurtured. Careful consideration is given to the layout of the playroom so that infants and toddlers feel empowered to self‑select from the toys and many natural resources which are attractively displayed down at their level. Close relationships and open communication with parent’s means children’s individual routines are easily catered for within the flexible daily programme.

Our preschool offers large open spaces indoors and out to allow for a variety of learning opportunities and experiences that challenge children in ways that support their holistic development. We provide an environment that promotes strong core values, social competence and the opportunity for children to develop their independence. Our teachers are passionate about providing the best possible preschool experience for every child and their family. Children and their families are supported in preparation for their transition into primary school.

Here at ABC Parkside our team of qualified teachers strive to provide a beautiful environment that is welcoming, respectful, safe and fun for all children and families. The atmosphere is both calm and playful, where children experience loving relationships with teachers and develop a strong sense of belonging and empowerment.

We’d love your family to join us at ABC Parkside. Please feel free to call us for more information, or alternatively just drop by for a visit.
