About the Center
The centre is licensed and chartered as an Early Childhood Centre (ECE) for Conductive Education Programmes. The Ministry of Education issues the license and the centre must operate under the licensing requirement of the Education (Early Childhood Centres) Regulations 1998. These affect the standards of staffing, programmes, buildings and management. The Charter is written in consultation with parents/whanau and staff. A copy of the Charter is kept in the office and foyer and is available for parents to read.
The Education Review Office review our centre triennially and a copy of this review is available from the centre or online at www.ero.govt.nz (March 2019).

Kathy Blake
Kathy came to us from the Ministry of Health where she had worked for a number of years. While the role of Centre Manager is busy, diverse and ever shifting, she loves the challenges that come with the role.
From day one she has been blown away by the dedication, caring and support that the team here provide to the families and children. Kathy lives in Upper Hutt where most of her family are and her favourite thing to do in the weekend is fishing. |
Nikita Houpapa
Nikita completed her Bachelors degree in Teaching (ECE) in 2020 and worked with tamariki as a Kaiako at her previous Centre for two years. Nikita is a whānau member to one of our students who previously attended Conductive Education, and knows our tamariki very well based on personal experiences. She started relieving for us as a Kaiako earlier in 2021 and took on the fulltime role as our ECT to pursue her beliefs and values in embracing the diversity and inclusiveness in our little community. Conductive Education was the reason to her becoming an Early Childhood Teacher.
Nikita looks forward to working alongside parents/whānau and tamariki in gaining their fullest potential here at Conductive Education.

"What I love about conductive education is the whole inclusion of the family. At the conductive education centre there is the understanding that a parent will always want their best for their child and the staff listens to the parents, caregivers and all who are involved in looking after the physically challenged child." Kitty Parker.
