Welcome to the Marian Centre

The Marian Early Childhood Centre was established in 1999 with the support of Bishop Patrick Dunn DD.  We are a not-for-profit preschool in Panmure that is committed to supporting parents/whānau, as the primary educators of their children, by providing a Catholic ethos. We believe in the positive character formation of children united with their families in experiencing the presence of God in their lives.

“Today, Catholic Early Childhood Centres operate in the country’s main centre with the exception of Dunedin.  Marian Centre is a trail blazer and continues to offer great life opportunities to our little children.”

“One thing I love about our Marian Centre is the diversity of our community, and the willingness of our teachers to learn/teach about all cultures – especially celebrating our Matariki week and the spirit of bringing together families to share and enjoy breakfast together.”
