The children of Frimley Park Kindergarten are nurtured in a homely, playful, and language-rich environment to feel a strong sense of identity and view themselves as a learner.

He aroha whakatō, he aroha ka puta mai

If kindness is sown then kindness you shall receive

What we do here:

We develop meaningful relationships between whānau, children, teachers, and our community. Acknowledging the well-being of each child is interdependent within our social group and reflects a holistic way for children to learn and grow.

Parents are viewed as the first teachers and together we build on their child’s learning aspirations. A key teacher approach is a dynamic between teacher, child, and whānau. Each teacher connects with a group of children and captivates individual learning pathways in partnership with whānau through observations, photos, and learning stories.

We share space with children who are free to creatively express themselves to learn through play in a calm and positive social environment. Children are affirmed as individuals within a social-cultural context and supported to develop a sense of belonging.

We foster a culture of ako by embracing children's interests, exploration, and through our daily rituals.  We have creative resources that are accessible to activate a child’s rich imagination as they refine and extend working theories.

We value and continue to strengthen our Te reo Māori me ngā tikanga through pūrakau, waiata, karakia, pepeha, local trips, matariki, kapahaka, mātauranga Māori and whanaungatanga.

We are in a diverse community alongside Frimley Primary School and the broader Ngā hau e whā e Kāhui Ako ( community of schools). We do regular professional development with local teachers and leadership.

Our children are experiencing foundational skills and knowledge that supports life long skills and for a transition to School. We have regular visit’s to the School field, library, and classrooms. We welcome contact with local children and children’s extended whānau.
