Our friendly team of fully qualified and experienced kaiako provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere, like a home away from home. Our kindergarten is well resourced and our kaiako provide a wide range of experiences for tamariki to enjoy and build on their interests.
Our beautiful outdoor space is a large, landscaped area with plenty of space to run, explore and most importantly, PLAY. Established fruit trees and gardens provide fruit and vegetables for tamariki and whānau.
We encourage kindness, caring and inclusiveness. Tamariki are supported socially and emotionally, enabling them to succeed at their own pace.
Community connections are valued and encouraged through regular small group excursions to the library, museum and Buffalo Beach.
We are very proud of our kindergarten and what we provide for tamariki. Come and visit us to see for yourself. Our door is open any time for a cuppa and a kōrero.
