Our Programme

We provide a stimulating programme shaped by the strengths and interests of our tamariki, with opportunities for children to explore, create, problem-solve, and develop confidence through play and discovery.  

With a safe, stimulating, and inspiring environment, we support children to become capable lifelong learners  

We value strong relationships with whānau, the wider community, and our two local primary schools, helping tamariki feel supported as they transition through their learning journey.

Our Team

We are an all-day kindergarten with a roll of 40 children. We have four registered teachers with a ratio of 1:10.

Nature & Sustainability

Caring for the environment is an important part of everyday life at Onerahi Kindergarten.  

Through our vegetable gardens, worm farm, composting, and recycling programmes, tamariki develop an understanding of sustainability, responsibility, and connection with the natural world.
