About Arakura Kindergarten
Welcome to Arakura Kindergarten, located in Lower Hutt, Wellington Road, 192A. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching learning environment for our tamariki (children).
Nestled in a sheltered area at the end of a long driveway off Wellington Road, our natural outdoor area offers a calm and relaxed setting where curiosity, exploration, and risk-taking are encouraged. We believe in the power of self-directed learning, allowing our tamariki to explore their theories of the natural world, problem-solve, negotiate, and cooperate.
To further support our commitment to Te Ao Maori, we have integrated Forest Kindergarten into our current kaupapa (philosophy). Our oldest tamariki have the opportunity to experience the Ngahere (forest) and are encouraged to make authentic connections to the natural environment by nurturing and respecting the world around them.
At Arakura Kindergarten, our friendly teaching team fosters a welcoming and supportive approach that encourages respect for everyone. We understand the uniqueness of each tamariki and recognize their need to learn at their own pace and in their own time. We believe that the best possible learning outcomes are achieved when kaiako (teachers) have an authentic and nurturing whanaungatanga (relationship) with the tamariki and their whānau (family). We work closely with you to develop learning programs based on your child's individual needs.
Our dedicated team consists of Head Teacher Debbie Henderson, along with teachers Robyn Collins, Kirsten Gawn, and Kate Shirley. Tia Tangipo serves as our Kindergarten Administrator.
