The early years are foundational to a child's growth and development. Our Early Childhood programmes offer a warm, nurturing environment where children can explore, learn and grow at their own pace

Our Early Childhood Programmes

Playgroup

0 - 3 years

A gentle introduction to social interaction and creative play. Accompanied by caregivers, children engage in activities that stimulate imagination and nurture early development in a warm and supportive environment.

Nursery

2.5 - 3.5 years

A secure, home-like setting where young children can explore their world. Through storytelling, singing, and creative play, children develop security, curiosity, and a love for learning.

Kindergarten

3.5 - 6 years

Supporting holistic development, we balance structured activities with free play, helping children build a foundation for academic learning while fostering essential social and emotional skills in a nature-rich environment.

Bush Kindergarten

Our Ngahere Programme

A unique offering where children from our Kindergarten spend mornings exploring the natural world. Set in the bush-clad site of our school, this programme allows children to connect with nature, fostering physical health, emotional resilience, and a deep appreciation for the environment.

Hear from our families who have experienced the magic of our Early Childhood Programmes

My daughter adores the time that she spends at nursery, and seems to be thriving in the gentle environment that it offers. The storytelling and songs have helped foster her magical imagination, and the teachers hold a warm space where she feels safe to confidently explore and grow.”

Larissa

Nursery

We have absolutely valued the Pēpi Aroha (playgroup) space for our child. We have attended from infancy until three years of age. Our child loved attending, and as adults our own sense of wonder at the magic of the natural world has been renewed. I feel like it has set us up to support our child to simply be a child in a fast-paced world where we all seem to be in a rush to grow up.”

Danielle

Playgroup

Our children have blossomed in the early childhood environment here. Our journey from Pēpi Aroha, with unhurried mornings in the company of other parents while tamariki play, through Nursery and finally to Kindergarten, where farewells from the “waving platform” begin the day, has been deeply meaningful to our whānau. And the freshly baked buns are loved by all!"
