Welcome to Raumanga Kindergarten

Nau mai, haere mai ki te whare kōhungahunga o Raumanga.  

At Raumanga Kindergarten, teaching and learning are celebrated through whanaungatanga, creating a welcoming environment where tamariki, whānau, kaiako, and the wider community learn alongside one another.

What We Offer

  • 100% qualified kaiako  
  • Fees-free kindergarten  
  • 48 weeks per year  
  • KidsCan meals provided  
  • Weekly speech and language groups  
  • Nature-based learning experiences  
  • Strong multicultural community  

Our Community

We embrace tuākana-teina (sibling like relationships) and encourage whānau to learn and grow together as part of our kindergarten community.  

Inclusion and cultural diversity are celebrated through multicultural evenings, talanoa with families, and Pasifika dance experiences.

Guided by our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we actively support tamariki to participate in mihiwhakatau (simplified powhiri for new tamariki and whanau) and wā hui ata (morning gathering time), while strengthening our connection to Te Ao Māori through everyday learning and practice.

Nature & Exploration

We are passionate about connecting tamariki with nature through natural play opportunities, weekly firepit experiences, and have won a kauri scholarship focused on creating opportunities for a weekly visit to our local ngahere (bush reserve) and learning about local purakau (stories).  

Through these experiences, children develop curiosity, confidence, and connections with te taiao.

Our Teaching Team

We have four qualified kaiako and we also work alongside our visiting family support worker and speech and language therapist to support the wellbeing and learning needs of tamariki and whānau.

Visit Us

We welcome all tamariki aged two years and over and warmly invite whānau to visit our kindergarten community and meet our team.

Nau mai, haere mai.
