Zero Fees
Zero Fees Terms & Conditions:
Tamariki aged 3 – 5 years old are eligible for 20 hours of free early childhood education (ECE). This means that if your child is 3, 4 or 5 years old and attends one of our kindergartens, the cost can be fully subsidised for up to six hours a day and up to 20 hours a week. When you attest your child to the full 20 hours a week at our kindergarten, you will be eligible for a total of 30 hours per week – Free!
Tamariki who are 2 years old are also free at our kindergarten if you intend to use your 20 hours entitlement once your child turns 3.
If you do not attest all or any of your child’s 20 hours ECE to this kindergarten, a fee of $6.00 per hour for any enrolled hours over and above the attested hours will be charged.

Our
Code
The Code of Professional Responsibility (for the teaching profession) reflects the expectations of conduct and integrity that we all share, what we expect from each other and what our learners, their families and whānau, their communities and the public can expect of us (Education Council, 2017, p.6).
Our Standards
The Standards for the Teaching Profession are made up of six standards that provide holistic descriptions of what high-quality teaching practice looks like and what it means to be a teacher in Aotearoa New Zealand. The additional detail contained in the elaborations provides depth and context to the Standards themselves and supports teachers to identify and develop high-quality practices in their settings (Education Council, 2017, p.14).
