Quality home-based care and education in Hawke’s Bay

At Bright Futures, we believe every child deserves a caring, supportive environment where they can thrive, explore, and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. We believe the Educator’s home learning environment allows for children to unfold and evolve in their own time – ā tōna wā.

We prioritise kindness, compassion, and respect to help children develop a strong sense of belonging.

Established in 1994, our dedicated team offers trusted, home-based care for children aged 0-5 that puts the individual needs of each tamariki at the heart of everything we do.

“Bright Futures is family orientated and friendly, both the Visiting Teachers and my Educator go the extra mile for me. It is lovely to see the bond my children have developed…and it is one of the reasons Bright Futures is my first choice for childcare.”

"Barb always knows what our girl has been doing, her interests, and her current developmental milestones! We love that not once, when dropping our girl off, has she been upset — instead, she is happy to be there and runs off. This made our transition into care a breeze."

“Abraham…was getting sick all the time... I had just started a new job and took so much time off work; however, since being in home-based care Abraham hasn’t caught anything... It’s his home away from home.”

“We have loved Bright Futures CHB right from the start…It’s so special and amazing to watch Ryan grow, and to see him and the other kids happy… We are very lucky to have this home-based service in Waipukurau. It is so special and much needed.”
