Our kindergarten supports sustainable practices including gardening, recycling and sourcing sustainable resources. Tamariki are able to plant and collect vegetables and herbs fresh from our garden to use in our daily baking.
We also offer a weekly ngāhere programme where tamariki develop an appreciation and respect for Papatūānuku. This gives our older tamariki the opportunity to spend one whole day a week immersed in nature at a local bush reserve.
We are extremely proud of our kindergarten and programme. We look forward to meeting you soon!

"Both of my girls absolutely LOVE Thames Kindergarten and all of their amazing teachers. There is a huge outdoor area which is always set up with new and fun things to do, as is the rest of the kindy. The teachers are incredible at their jobs, really getting to know and caring about every child. I wouldn’t want to send them anywhere else!"
