Ōtorohanga Kindergarten

An inclusive kindergarten that supports tamariki to take control of their own learning.

At Ōtorohanga Kindergarten our kaiako promote an interactive learning environment, providing an inclusive programme that supports tamariki to choose their own experiences and take control of their own learning journey.

We value and promote the dual heritage of Aotearoa and welcome all whānau to be actively involved in their child’s learning.

We believe all tamariki should be given opportunities to experience being independent, solve problems and feel valued and empowered as individuals. We encourage responsibility and respect for others and the environment.

Nau mai haere mai, come for a visit to see how our busy learning environment could benefit your tamariki.

Our teaching team (left to right): Clair Fielder, Donna Hunt, Gemma Harding, Sue Price, Trish Osterman, Trudie Hemara.

The Ōtorohanga Kindergarten environment

The teachers are truly amazing

"Our experience with Ōtorohanga Kindergarten has been absolutely fantastic! The teachers are truly amazing – warm, caring and dedicated to creating a nurturing environment. The indoor and outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed, offering plenty of opportunities for both play and learning. My teenagers attended years ago and had wonderful experiences, and now my three year old can't get enough of it! If he could, he’d be there seven days a week. It’s such a joy to see him so happy and engaged."
