Yes, many universities in New Zealand offer facilities and support to help student-parents balance studies and childcare.

Examples include:
- Childcare centres on or near campus for children up to five years old, with some offering discounted fees for students. - Parent rooms and dedicated spaces in libraries for feeding, changing, and studying with children. - Support services that provide health, wellbeing, and academic flexibility for students with family responsibilities, including assignment extensions and resources for studying from home.

Support options and facilities vary by university and are subject to change. For details on specific services, contact the student support team at your chosen university.
