About Onehunga Kindergarten
Welcome to Onehunga Kindergarten, located in Auckland on Cameron Street! Our establishment is not just an ordinary school, but a point of interest that offers a unique and enriching experience for young children.
One of our standout features is our incredible outdoor area. We have a large and spacious space where tamariki (children) can run, cycle, swing, play, and explore to their heart's content. This environment is perfect for developing creativity, imagination, and strong fundamental movement skills while having a lot of fun!
Every Monday after lunch, our tamariki participate in a Play ball session. This program focuses on quality movement experiences that incorporate locomotor, manipulative, body awareness, and stability skills. It also teaches the importance of being part of a team and taking turns.
At Onehunga Kindergarten, our practice is guided by Māori values. Manaakitanga (respect, care) and whānaungatanga (strong relationships with our whānau) underpin everything we do. We believe in the value of whānau involvement and welcome their knowledge, skills, and ways of doing things to achieve the best learning outcomes for their tamariki.
Education for sustainability is an integral part of our programme. We teach our tamariki about being kaitiaki (guardians) of Papatūānuku (Mother Earth) and provide hands-on experiences. We have compost bins, a worm farm, water barrels, and garden beds where kaiako (teachers) and tamariki work together to compost, plant, nurture, harvest, and cook. We also incorporate Matauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) into our teaching and learning practices.
Meet our two special little toy turtles, Tiny Tim and Tiny Tahi! They live at kindy and get the opportunity to go home with our tamariki. They learn about how to look after Papatūānuku by composting at home, gardening, clearing litter off the beaches, and playing in the playground. These experiences are shared with tamariki and whānau during hui time and on Storypark.
Supporting tamariki with their social and emotional skills is of utmost importance to us. Our kaiako are skilled in implementing the Incredible Years programme, which supports self-regulation and social, emotional, and academic competence.
Our dedicated teaching team consists of fully qualified and registered kaiako who are passionate about early childhood education. We follow the Aotearoa early childhood curriculum, Te Whāriki, and provide a child-centered learning programme. Our goal is to support young tamariki in finding a sense of belonging in their local community.
We invite you to get in touch with our team today! We would love to show you around our kindergarten and answer any questions you may have. Parents often feel comfortable in our kindergarten and frequently communicate with teachers about their children's learning and development.
Our kindergarten hours are from Monday to Friday, 8.45am to 2.45pm, and our office hours are from Monday to Friday, 8am to 4.45pm. We are closed during term breaks and public holidays.
Don't forget to head over to our AKA blog to stay updated on what's happening in our extended network. We look forward to welcoming you and your tamariki to Onehunga Kindergarten!

Reviews of Onehunga Kindergarten
"So much love and care with this place! The teachers have years of experience and create such a lovely environment with the tamariki. I’ve had two kids go through and they’ve loved it."
"All 3 of our kids have gone through Onehunga Kindergarten and they absolutely loved it. The outdoor space is huge for lots running, biking and fun. The teachers are really supportive and pick up on interests the kids have for their learning. Lots of families are local to the area so they go on to school with many of their friends. As a parent, when you pick up a happy and chatty child at the end of the day you know their day was super fun."
"Onehunga Kindy was amazing for our 4 yr old daughter. She grew in confidence, and had wonderful teachers who helped and nurtured her through her transition with starting this kindy and later into school. The playground was great and always a huge attraction for her! We will miss this kindy and community that it has."
