Red Kite Preschool Mt Albert

Welcome to Red Kite Preschool Mt Albert, a friendly and highly qualified institution located in Auckland, on Willcott Street. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we are dedicated to providing quality care for your child and serving the local communities in Epsom and Mount Albert.

Our teaching team is passionate about ensuring the highest standards of education for your child. With excellent teacher to child ratios, we prioritize individualized attention and a nurturing environment. Don't just take our word for it, read what some of our parents have to say about Red Kite on our website.

At Red Kite, we understand that literacy is a fundamental skill that unlocks all other subjects in your child's future learning. That's why we foster a love of books and reading through storytelling, singing songs, reading aloud, and a variety of play-based strategies. We even have a dedicated reading corner where children and teachers come together to enjoy reading together.

Our teaching staff are mostly bilingual or multilingual, emphasizing English and Maori. At our Epsom center, we also have a strong competency in Mandarin. This diverse language environment allows for a rich and inclusive learning experience.

We believe that character development is just as important as academic success. That's why we incorporate the Virtues Project into our teaching approach. By emphasizing qualities such as honesty, courtesy, kindness, and courage, we help children develop life skills that will benefit them in their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as in achieving their goals.

Math and science are not just subjects, but integral parts of our everyday activities. We encourage our children to count, sort, measure, and observe, fostering curiosity and a sense of adventure as they explore the world around them. To facilitate this, we provide plenty of resources for them to access at will.

We also understand the importance of outdoor experiences. Many children today are growing up without the chance to fully experience nature. That's why we embrace the Forest Kindergarten philosophy, taking regular excursions to parks and the local community. Back at our "home base," children can also experience the satisfaction of caring for our gardens and center pets.

At Red Kite Preschool Mt Albert, we prioritize your child's education, personal growth, and well-being. Join us in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for your child's early years. Visit our website for more information about a day at Red Kite and how to enroll your child.
