Our Programme

Guided by Te Whāriki, our programme grows from the interests, strengths, and passions of tamariki and kaiako.  

Children are supported to experiment, imagine, investigate, develop new skills, and express their ideas through meaningful learning experiences and relationships.

We believe every child has the right to make a valued contribution to society and to feel confident in who they are as learners and individuals.

Our Community

Children and whānau attend from both rural and urban communities, creating a diverse and connected kindergarten environment.  

Our kaiako are passionate and experienced educators who are committed to ongoing learning, reflective practice, and recognising the importance of Aotearoa New Zealand’s dual heritage and the diversity of the community we serve.
