Tamariki are encouraged to play; following their interests in a loving and supportive environment that enables them to grow at their own pace socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. Our core kaiako are fully qualified and supported by an amazing teaching team. We offer a range of experience and expertise and are all strong advocates for tamariki and whānau.
Our large outdoor area allows us space for a huge sandpit, garden area and playground. We also have covered outdoor areas for activities, rain or shine. We include a variety of animals within our environment such as chickens and fish. When the seasons allow you may find frogs, lambs and goats here also.
Our ngahere programme allows the opportunity for the eight eldest tamariki to spend one day a week at a local nature reserve where they are free to explore, climb, create and play safely.
Haere mai katoa, come along and join the fun.

"Ngātea Kindergarten is well known for making families feel welcome and supported. My grown children still feel like Ngatea Kindergarten is another home to them."
