Our programme has a strong focus on social competency - getting along well with others, being able to form and maintain relationships, and responding in adaptive ways in social settings.

We're also strong in developing literacy, the arts, tamariki's physical prowess, and ways of interacting with and in the natural world - our place and responsibilities within it.  

You're always welcome here! Parents and whānau contribute in many ways, including discussions about their aspirations for children, spending time with us in session, sharing their knowledge and strengths with kaiako/teachers and children and bringing a richness to our programme. If you have time you could join our Kindergarten parent group to plan and promote fundraising events – it’s a great way to meet and make friendships with others.  We have a close community with generations of families passing through our doors. We’re very proud of our connections with the wider educational community, particularly with the local Primary schools – supporting you when the time comes to transition to school.

We would recommend that you enrol initially for at least two full days – building up to five days at your child's pace.  This gives our teachers time to get to know your child and gives some consistency around supporting their learning.  

Nau mai, tauti mai - come in anytime, we'll make you welcome!
