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.

Nestled halfway up Mount Parihaka, Parihaka Kindergarten offers a welcoming, safe, happy environment where children can be engaged, challenged and lead in their learning.
What we offer:
Our aspirations for our children are that they have a strong belief in self, are happy, socially and emotionally competent and see themselves as change makers.
We value whanaungatanga and believe that high quality learning is reflected through our positive relationships with children and their whānau.
Our connection to Maunga Parihaka and the natural environment is an important part of our kindergarten identity.
Tamariki are encouraged to explore, take risks, and develop resilience in a spacious outdoor setting that supports curiosity, creativity, and a sense of belonging.
Through these experiences, children learn the values of courage, integrity, strength, and aroha.
Parihaka Tū Tonu — stand steadfast, stand strong, stand with courage and love.
We welcome all whānau to come and visit and become part of our kindergarten community.
Monday to Friday 8.30am to 2.30pm We operate a split 40/30 roll, from 8.30am with 10 children that go home at 12.30pm and the remaining children stay until 2.30pm.
We are a Fees Free Kindergarten!
