About Fairfield Kindergarten

Whilst set in the grounds of Fairfield College you do not have to be affiliated with the College to have your child attend Fairfield Early Education Waikato. All families are welcome!

We have a small adult/child ratio with registered teachers, who focus on extending the children’s interests and presenting a challenging and stimulating programme appropriate to each individual child’s progress.

  • Provide inclusive, high quality early education and childcare.
  • Commitment to reflect our bicultural heritage.
  • Value family/whānau and centre partnership.
  • Warm & welcoming qualified staff who are passionate about caring and learning.
  • Teachers work with infants so that routines and a strong sense of belonging is nurtured.
  • Well resourced and grassed outdoor play area.
  • Learning is based on the NZ Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whāriki.
  • Transition to school programme.

We believe that children’s learning and development is fostered if the well-being of their family, community and culture is supported, so the teaching team are committed to working in partnership with parents and whanau. It is important that parents and whanau have  a sense of belonging in our environment. We welcome parents spending time in the centre and value their contribution in all aspects of their children’s learning journey.
