Welcome to
Miropiko Kindergarten

Koi a e kai ana i te miro, noona te ngahere. Koi a e kai ana i te maatauranga. Noona te ao.

For those who partake of the miro, the forest belongs to them. For those who partake of education, the world is their domain.

We provide weekly visits to the Miropiko Pa Reserve where we are kaitiaki (carers) of the Reserve.

About Miropiko Kindergarten

Miropiko Kindergarten is well-respected for delivering high quality, affordable education and childcare. A lively happening place with plenty of learning, discoveries and adventures to be had. We have recently completed a huge renovation of our playground, so now even more than ever, the children are taking advantage of the outdoor challenges and adventures to be had!

We have small group activities every Wednesday morning, and every year we provide art work that is displayed in the public library. At Miropiko we have also joined with the Hamilton City Council to provide a safe walking programme called Happy Feet.

  • Warm & welcoming staff who are passionate about teaching and learning.
  • Safe, caring and stimulating environment.
  • Well resourced and large outdoor play area.
  • Children develop social interaction and respect.
  • Private online learning portfolios for parents (sharing photos, videos and stories about your child).
  • An exclusive early childhood partnership with the Enviroschools Programme (eg. recycling, composting, gardening).
  • Learning based on the NZ Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whāriki.
  • Value family/whānau and kindergarten partnership.
  • Cool 4 School transition to school programme.

We look forward to meeting you when you come to visit.

  • Social skills, behaviour management and manners

  • To understand and operate within a structured routine

Teachers provide learning extensions that prepare you child for school which include numeracy & numbers, literacy & language, nature & science, computers & technology, puzzles & games, creative arts, sand & water play, trips, transition to school programme, child friendships… and more!

Children work together at mat time to share daily information, stories, songs, movement, drama and waiata.
