Welcome from the Board
On behalf of the Auckland Catholic Preschool Trust Board, we are delighted to welcome you to our new website.
At the heart of ACPT is our vision to be Christ-centred, child-focused and community-minded. Our mission brings this to life: “With Christ at the centre and working in partnership with our communities, we create the conditions where our children can thrive.”
Our 2024–2027 Strategic Plan sets a clear direction for our Trust. We are committed to strengthening the Catholic character of our preschools, equipping and supporting our people to provide high-quality Catholic early childhood education, and ensuring strong stewardship so that ACPT can continue to grow, innovate and serve our communities into the future.
Our values of Excellence, Inclusivity, Diversity, Environmental Sustainability and Cultural Responsiveness guide how we work and the environments we create. We want every child and whānau who is part of ACPT to feel welcomed, valued and that they truly belong.
As a Board, we are incredibly proud of our teachers, leaders and wider preschool communities who bring our mission and values to life every day. We also value the important relationships we have with our families, parishes and the Catholic Diocese of Auckland as we work together to support our tamariki.
We hope our new website provides a place to learn more about who we are, connect with our preschools and celebrate the wonderful communities that make up ACPT.
Ngā mihi nui,

Trusted by South Auckland families
Parents across our rohe trust us for our experienced and friendly teaching team, calm atmosphere, and caring communication. At our Auckland Catholic Preschool centres, we follow the Te Whāriki curriculum, supporting children through daily routines and learning through play. Our bilingual approach ensures children celebrate their identity, feel secure, and learn at their own pace. Families value our focus on relationships and our respectful, reassuring partnership with whānau.
Our Spaces
Our two centres are designed for comfort, safety, and joyful exploration. Open indoor spaces are filled with natural light and carefully chosen resources, while outdoor areas offer room to run, create and connect with nature. Families are always welcome to visit and see our two Auckland Catholic preschools have to offer for our tamariki.
