Hello, we are Catherine and Steve, the proud owners of Gumboots & Grasshoppers Childcare and Learning Centre. 

We live locally in Te Kowhai and have four beautiful children. We started our childcare journey early in 2017 when we recognised the need for a Centre in Te Kowhai. It felt like a natural fit for us and lined up with our family values and community focus. 

We are really excited about being able to offer childcare and learning services because as working parents we understand the difference a quality daycare can make in the lives of busy families. We are also excited about being able to offer not only a lovely indoor learning space but also a beautiful rural setting with lots of outdoor space, grass, animal friends and gardens as we believe there are so many learning opportunities outdoors.
