Pukeatua Kindergarten

Welcome to Pukeatua Kindergarten, a warm and inviting institution located in the beautiful Lower Hutt, on Frederick Street. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, Pukeatua Kindergarten offers a nurturing environment for children and families in the Wainuiomata area.

Situated on a spacious and flat site, our kindergarten is conveniently located right next to Pukeatua School, fostering a sense of community and connection.

We believe in recognizing and embracing each child's unique identity, ensuring that they feel a sense of belonging in our kindergarten.

At Pukeatua Kindergarten, we highly value the principles of the Tiriti o Waitangi, with partnership, protection, and participation forming the foundation of everything we do.
