Pāpāmoa Beach Centre Leader Kate Doran
Stepping into the role of Centre Leader at Future Focus Papamoa Beach has been both an honour and an exciting new chapter for me. I’m proud to be part of a centre where strong relationships, authentic connection, and the voices of our tamariki and whānau guide everything we do. Leading this incredible team means nurturing a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to grow.
Originally from England, I made Aotearoa home ten years ago. I’m a proud mum of two and a big believer in the power of relationships – both in and out of the centre. Outside of mahi, you’ll find me surrounded by whānau and close friends, usually gathered around good kai, sharing laughs and making memories.

I love how much they use Te Reo Maori at Future Focus. I always wanted my son to be surrounded by Te Reo and it conforts me to know that his culture is supported and celebrate here at Future Focus.

When moving back to Pāpāmoa, I started looking for Kindergartens for my daughter. We only went to three places, and we chose this Future Focus over the others as they put in effort to talk to my daughter, not just to me.
Ruby
Future Focus feels like they are apart of our extended family. My daugter will come home and talk about the teacher and its so comforting to know that she is well looked after here.
