KiNZ Sandringham Early Learning Centre

Welcome to KiNZ Sandringham Early Learning Centre, located at 27 Shorwell Street in Auckland, New Zealand. Our establishment is not just a school, but a point of interest and a place where children can explore and develop their skills and knowledge.

At KiNZ Sandringham, we believe in empowering children to imagine and construct their own reality through play. This not only provides them with a sense of competence and control, but also helps build their self-esteem. Our beautiful learning spaces are designed to invite children to extend their learning and develop their abilities.

Our fully qualified and stable teaching team is dedicated to providing quality care and education for children aged 2 to 5 years old throughout the year. We are open from 7.30am to 5.30pm, with flexible drop off and pick up times. We also offer 20 hours of free childcare every week for 3 to 5 year olds.

Care and respect are core values at our childcare centre. Our responsive team supports both families and children transitioning into centre life. We follow the individual rhythms of each child and support the development of relationships with their peers, ensuring they feel right at home.

Situated on the grounds of Edendale Primary School, we are an important part of the Sandringham community. We enjoy strong relationships with both present and past families, and we actively support the transition to school.

Our culturally diverse teaching team has created a rich multicultural environment that respects and celebrates the cultural backgrounds of our families and whānau. We believe in the importance of cultural diversity and strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

Our skilled kaiako (teachers) implement the Incredible Years Teacher Programme, which supports young children with self-regulation and their social, emotional, and academic competence.

To ensure the well-being of our children, we provide delicious, fresh, and nutritious meals prepared by our experienced cook. We cater for individual dietary requirements, and all meat is Halal.

We warmly welcome you to visit us and experience our welcoming environment firsthand. See the learning and support your child will receive at KiNZ Sandringham. Rest assured that your child will receive the best early childhood education.

Sangita, Rose, Angela, Anna, Charity, Nissa, Chloe, and Shiby are excited to welcome you to KiNZ Sandringham.

Here are some testimonials from our parents:

"Our children gained incredible confidence on joining KiNZ. They learned how to build relationships and respect their friends and teachers. The children were regularly given age-appropriate responsibilities, and they absolutely loved to shine in these roles."

"Thank you so much for the support and care you’ve provided our daughter over the last couple of years. She has grown so much with your help and guidance, and for that, we’re truly grateful!"

At KiNZ Sandringham, positive and respectful relationships are at the core of our nurturing environment. We believe in promoting children's well-being and their sense of belonging within our centre.

Our flexible learning programs enable children to play and develop at their own pace, and to initiate their own learning. We encourage sustained collaborative play and teach children to show respect for one another while working in small groups.
