East Harbour Kindergarten

Welcome to East Harbour Kindergarten, located in the beautiful suburb of Eastbourne, Wellington. Our kindergarten is housed in a charming villa, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for children to learn and grow. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the bush and sea, our location provides endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.

At East Harbour Kindergarten, we believe that the local community plays a vital role in a child's education. We see our community as an extension of the learning environment, offering a wealth of possibilities. Our program is designed to incorporate the unique resources and experiences that our community has to offer.

The learning environment is a key focus of our program. We strive to create a beautiful and stimulating setting that encourages children to explore and develop their ideas. Our environment is flexible, adaptable, and always evolving. We incorporate recycled materials, furniture, art objects, and treasures to inspire children's imagination, creativity, and wonder. By promoting the concept of sustainability, we encourage parents, children, and teachers to contribute to the life of our kindergarten.

Our teaching team consists of five dedicated and qualified teachers, including our Head Teacher who oversees the operations of our kindergarten. Each teacher brings their own skills, knowledge, and experiences to create a diverse and inclusive learning program. We are committed to providing a high-quality service for children and their families.

At East Harbour Kindergarten, we value the individuality of each child. We provide a safe, caring, and positive educational environment where children can make sense of the world through play and interaction with others. Our teachers recognize and respect the unique learning styles of each child, tailoring their approach to suit their interests, strengths, and preferences. We empower children to take on challenges, think critically, problem-solve, and communicate effectively.

We understand that learning is a lifelong journey for both children and teachers. Our teachers embrace their role as learners, exploring, investigating, and problem-solving alongside the children. We celebrate their choices, efforts, and achievements as part of our collective learning progression.

At East Harbour Kindergarten, we are committed to providing high-quality care, learning environments, and challenging opportunities for children, as well as a high standard of service to our parents. We also strive to be flexible with attendance days to support families within our community.

Join us at East Harbour Kindergarten, where children are encouraged to think, explore, communicate, and co-construct their learning experiences in a nurturing and stimulating environment. We look forward to welcoming you and your child into our kindergarten family.
