Tadpole Childcare Centre

Cheerful hues, seemingly shrieking in contrast, are just what every child is attracted to – whether it be toys, lollies or even a childcare centre.

Cognisant that a childcare centre can be somewhat daunting for parent and child alike, the creators of the Tadpole Childcare Centre in Narangea Road, Narangea have etched a positioning of bright, bold, fun and friendly through the colours they have selected both inside and out.

The exterior finished in Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic tinted to near fluoro green Resene Wellywood teamed with Resene Half Spanish White (complex light neutral) demands attention making way to a Resene Zylone Sheen satin acrylic finished interior alive with vivid hues of Resene Tangerine (orange), Resene Vixen (burnt orange red), Resene Sushi (bright lime green), Resene Turbo (bright yellow) brought together by a special blended hue now known as 'Tadpoles Cream'.

A new childcare centre in a large housing residential area, this centre is expected to be the first of many, with the construction of up to 20 centres based on this model forecast. With extensive building plans on the agenda, there will be a lot more children before the year's out surrounded in every bright colour they ever dreamed of.
