Our team consists of five qualified and registered teachers, supported by a part-time administrator. We value whakawhanaungatanga and foster strong relationships with tamariki, whānau, local schools, and the wider community, creating a genuine sense of belonging for every child and their family. The kindergarten operates five 6-hour sessions Monday to Friday catering for 30 children between two and six years of age.
Our beautiful coastal location provides endless opportunities for tamariki to connect with the whenua and moana through exploration, discovery, risk-taking, and hands-on learning experiences.
These experiences help children build confidence, develop resilience, and gain an understanding of kaitiakitanga as they learn to care for and respect the environment around them.
If your attitude is warm and welcoming; your communication style open and respectful; you are active in Te Tiriti o Waitangi practices and love working with children and whānau, then we are very keen to hear from you.
