Central Kids Kihikihi Kindergarten is located in the rural town of Kihikihi, with an expansive park-like outdoor area, providing ample space for tamariki to explore and be physically active. The indoor area is inviting and rich in resources and learning opportunities.

Kihikihi Kindergarten is a Green-Gold accredited Enviroschools kindergarten, with a commitment to sustainability where tamariki develop a love of the natural environment, make sense of their world, and develop ways to take care of Papatūānuku.

We have an experienced, fully qualified and cohesive teaching team, who work collaboratively to provide a quality teaching and learning environment for tamariki. Individual and collective knowledge is shard and valued, and kaiako are committed to ongoing professional growth.

Our vision is to provide a positive, warm, and inviting environment where tamariki and whānau are valued and welcomed.

We believe that relationships are the key to quality education and we develop positive reciprocal relationships with tamariki, whānau and our community.

Our kindergarten whakataukī encompasses all that we do and believe.

“Mā te ako, mā te tipu, ka neke whakamua tātou.
As we learn and as we grow, we move forward together.”
