We would like to welcome you into our beautiful kindergarten nestled in the heart of the Havelock north village. Our tamariki are the heart of the matter and therefore our role as kaiako (teachers) is to work alongside them, nurturing, growing and providing learning experience unique to each child and their needs, strengths and interests.  Our teachers (kaiako) are a fully trained and very experienced team, who are committed to making your childs’ experience at kindergarten and journey of learning, a positive one. 

Visitors often comment on the relaxed and peaceful feeling they get when they come to our kindergarten and we believe this has been created over the years through the synergy we have created as a team and the value that we put on providing the very best educational learning outcomes and spaces for tamariki.

Whānau is valued at our kindergarten and Manaakitanga,and whānaungatanga are evident in the connections and interactions that we have with each and every family who attends here.  You are a valued part of our kindergarten whānau. 

For tamariki to be able to develop, learn and grow they need an environment that is conducive to this. We welcome all people to come and see for themselves the amazing spaces we have to do this. We work within an Enviroschools lens to provide an environment that promotes sustainability, diversity, values culture, is safe and promotes exploration, creativity and a place where tamariki can really discover who they are and the wonderful things that they are capable of.

Tamariki are supported here to be confident and independent learners who can make a valued contribution from what they bring to the world.  We work with the unique strengths that your child brings with them when they start, and grow, support and develop these throughout their kindergarten journey, moving towards a transition to school plan before they head off on their continuing journey to school.  We maintain close links to our local primary schools and work in collaboration with teachers and students there too.

Please call in and visit us anytime, you are always welcome.
