Te Kowhai Kindergarten supports and promotes respectful, reciprocal relationships between staff, families, children and the natural and physical environment. They are well-respected for delivering high quality, affordable education in Te Kowhai.
The outside area is in a beautiful natural setting, overlooking a gully, and is large and spacious. Our building has been completely renovated and is light, spacious and well-resourced. Children’s interests are extended, and children are learning to be competent, confident, independent learners and communicators.
Our qualified staff carefully plan programmes that fulfil the early childhood curriculum. We aim to ensure children are competent, confident and successful learners. Children will learn and develop:
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.
