For over a decade, the Nader Foundation has been dedicated to ensuring that every child has access to high-quality early childhood education, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. Founded on the belief that education is the cornerstone of opportunity, we provide fully funded or heavily subsidised quality childcare placements to families under pressure from rising living costs, mortgage burdens, and life’s challenges.

Since its inception, the Nader Foundation has supported hundreds of families across South & East Auckland and beyond, creating real impact by increasing participation in early learning, improving developmental outcomes, and empowering parents to thrive knowing their children are in safe, nurturing environments.

Our work is grounded in partnership. We collaborate with trusted, established early childhood centres that meet the highest standards of care and compliance, ensuring every sponsored placement delivers both quality education and peace of mind for families. More than a charitable initiative, the Nader Foundation reflects a long-term commitment to community wellbeing, educational equity, and social impact. By removing financial barriers, we open doors for children to grow, learn, and succeed—while giving families the support they need to build stronger futures.

Eqtedar's Testimonial - Nader Foundation Parent

"Nader foundation has helped me a lot. I have looked at other daycares but could not afford the cost. With Nader foundation, I found a kindy with the perfect care for my children. They love attending Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre, Botany and I am so lucky to be a part of this kindy."

FAQs

What is the eligibility Criteria for the Nader Foundation?

Arrow icon

Nader Foundation is open to all families located in South and East Auckland (current support area). The criteria is means tested against cost of living, not against income or wealth. We know many families genuinely struggle with cost of living, even with middle to high incomes, therefore, we do not exclude based on income levels. This is the Nader Foundation's major point of difference with already available government schemes such as Work & Income.

What age groups do you intake?

Arrow icon

Currently, we have spaces in the 2 to 5 age group. The under 2 age group is now full for the rest of 2025. Check back in 2026 for news and updates on this. If your child is aged 2 to 5 then you may be eligible for Nader Foundation support.

What kind of support would I get? Fully funded or subsidised?

Arrow icon

This depends on your circumstance and affordability. In many cases, many families can afford some fees, just not full fees, in which case we support through a subsidised model. In order cases, fully funded support is provided (after any government rebate or applicable subsidy). Food, nappies and wipes are not included.
