When you walk into our kindergarten you will feel the wairua and aroha, because we are absolutely passionate about nurturing a sense of belonging for children and whanau/family. Our children thrive in an environment that is inviting and affording, where they stretch all their learning muscles and develop a strong sense of identity.
