Lou and Bec’s Story

Kia ora, we’re Lou and Bec, the co-founders of Organic Kids.

We are two passionate early childhood professionals, mothers, and long-time friends who share a deep belief in the power of relationships, connection, and meaningful childhood experiences.

Our journey together began in 2011 as colleagues working within the early childhood sector. Over the years, our professional paths crossed through both centre-based and home-based education, giving us a unique perspective on the different ways children learn and thrive. While these experiences taught us a great deal, they also reinforced one belief above all else — that young children flourish when they are known deeply, nurtured through strong relationships, and given the time and space to learn at their own pace.

It was through this shared vision that Organic Kids was born.

What started as a conversation between friends became a reality in February 2015 when Organic Kids In-Home Education and Care welcomed its first families. We wanted to create a service that reflected our values: a place where children could experience the warmth and security of a home environment, where educators felt supported and valued, and where learning was guided by curiosity, connection, and respect for each child’s unique journey.

Today, Organic Kids continues to grow, but our vision remains the same. We are proud to work alongside a dedicated team of visiting teachers and educators who share our commitment to providing high-quality home-based education and care for tamariki and whānau throughout our community.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: childhood should not be rushed. It should be filled with wonder, meaningful relationships, opportunities for exploration, and a strong sense of belonging.

Organic Kids — a real home away from home, where children are free to explore, discover, and lead their own journey of learning.

We are fortunate to work alongside Hollie and Sharon, whose knowledge, experience, and shared commitment to quality early childhood education enrich our team and strengthen the support we provide to children, whānau, and educators. You can learn more about each of us here. here.
