Red Kite Preschool Epsom
About the Business
Welcome to Red Kite Preschool Epsom, located in the beautiful city of Auckland, New Zealand. Our preschool is a point of interest and a school that is dedicated to providing quality care for your child. Our friendly and highly qualified teaching team is passionate about creating a nurturing environment for your child to learn and grow.
At Red Kite, we believe in maintaining high teaching standards and excellent teacher to child ratios. Our dedicated staff members are bilingual or multilingual, with a strong emphasis on English, Maori, and Mandarin. We believe that language skills are crucial for your child's future learning and we strive to create a love for books and reading through storytelling, singing, and reading aloud.
Literacy is just one aspect of our comprehensive curriculum. We understand the importance of social skills and building meaningful relationships. That's why we use the Virtues Project to help children acquire qualities such as honesty, courtesy, kindness, and courage. These virtues will not only benefit them in their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, but also as they strive to achieve their goals.
In addition to literacy and social skills, we also focus on math and science. We incorporate math and science language in our daily activities and encourage our children to count, sort, measure, and observe. We foster curiosity and a sense of adventure as our children explore the world around them. To support their learning, we provide a variety of resources for them to access at their own pace.
At Red Kite, we believe in the importance of outdoor experiences. Many children today are growing up without the chance to fully experience the outdoors. That's why we follow the Forest Kindergarten philosophy and take regular excursions to parks and the local community. Back at our "home base," children have the opportunity to care for our gardens and center pets, fostering a sense of responsibility and connection to nature.

We also encourage you to read what some of our parents have to say about Red Kite on our website. We are excited to welcome you and your child to our preschool community and provide them with a foundation for lifelong learning and success.

"We love Red Kite Preschool! After relocating, I had visited many centres but none of them stood out like Red Kite. I knew right away that I had found the perfect place to enroll my son. It really is a home away from home. There are some days where there may be a few tears at drop off but I know that my little one is in good hands and not long after I've left the teachers will send snaps showing he's settled and all smiles which is always reassuring. Other days he's ushering me out the door (always a good sign). Thank you to all the staff, past and present for taking such good care of our tamariki."
"Thank you Judy, Anita, and teachers from RedKite. You guys are awesome! Teacher James, Joe, Ling, Mayomi, Rundi and others has done so much in teaching, guiding my girl so well not just academically but also discipline, knowing what's the right things to do and what's not. Glad she did pickup a little bit of Chinese from the centre. Thank you Judy and the team support throughout all the challenges and difficulties we have had. Hope Teacher Jillian speedy recovery and back to the kids soon. My girl misses her very much. Highly recommended!"
"Due to Covid, my kid started at Red Kite at his 4 years old, and this is his first kindergarten. He never stay in any Kindy before, and he is very shy boy, always wants to stay alone, doesn’t like to play with any other children. I was so worried about him as he is nearly school age. All the teachers in Red Kite are super patient to him. Judy, Anita and all the other teachers are giving him so much extra support to help him build confident. At first, he was so scared when kids are close to him, he just want to run away. Then he can sit and eat together with them. Now, he even can play together with them sometime. He makes progress at Red kite day by day, and I am really happy for him. He tells me that he likes all the teachers there Bella, Rundi, Joe, James and Ling. They all can speak Mandarin to him and teach him English as he doesn’t understand English at all. To me, it is a very important reason that’s why I choose Red Kite for my kid. I also visited some other Kindy before Red Kite, they is no such a place that most teachers can speak bilingual. Now, my kid very enjoys to stay at Red Kite, he even doesn’t want to go home when I go pick him up. I would recommend Red Kite to all the parents."
"I have both my kids at red kite for 2 years now and never faced any problem. Staff are so kind and supportive… cannot praise them enough. Everyone is so sweet and care for kids so well. The educator to children ratio is also great especially for infants. The staff is very kind especially with any special needs for your children. Never had trouble of getting the lunch for kids the food served by the centre’s cook is so good that my kids prefer the centre’s food more than home cooked meals. The fees is also reasonable and i love their 30 hour free ECE facility for which you get to choose the timing as per your requirement. They have separate rooms for preschoolers, infants and over 2 year old… this is another great thing otherwise the older kids sometimes end up bullying younger ones.. so many things to love about this preschool."
"My daughter loved her time at Red Kite. Anita, Judy and all the teachers are simply lovely. They have taken the time to provide a fun, educational and safe environment for everyone. Highly recommend them!"
