Forty Years of Aroha, Learning and Joyful Discovery: The Story of Kerikeri Kindergarten
Today, we celebrate. Not just the years, but the people, the values, the vision.
November 6, 2025

Located in Ruakākā along the beautiful coastline of Bream Bay, our kindergarten offers a child-led early learning environment.
Our tamariki are encouraged to learn through curiosity, creativity, and child-led experiences.
What we offer:
Our programme is shaped by the interests of tamariki and supported by the strengths, passions, and knowledge of kaiako, whānau, and the wider community.
We encourage children to explore, create, and develop confidence through play and learning experiences.
Teaching and learning is viewed as a collaborative partnership where reciprocal relationships enhance the learning process.
We believe children learn best in an environment that fosters curiosity, engagement, wellbeing, and a sense of fun.
We seek to empower children to make positive life choices and believe it is important to nurture the dimensions of health, physical and emotional well being
With the coast and natural environment close by, tamariki are shown how to show respect for themselves, others, and the world around them.
We welcome all whānau to come and visit and become part of our kindergarten community.
Monday to Friday 8.15am to 2.15pm
We are FEES FREE!
