Pipitea was established in November 1988 as Wellington’s first childcare centre for the children of public servants (then called Thorndon Child Care Centre). It was opened by then-PM David Lange and has, since opening, operated out of our current site on Hobson Crescent.

Pipitea was first registered as an incorporated society in November 1986 (Wellington Public Servants Childcare Centre Incorporated) two years prior to opening, and, in 2008 we were also registered as a charity.
In 2023 we celebrated 35 years with a small whanau event and cake.
