Botany Downs Kindergarten
About the Business
Welcome to Botany Downs Kindergarten, located at Maroubra Place in Auckland, New Zealand. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we strive to create a vibrant community of resilient, risk-taking, and creative thinkers who inspire one another. Our goal is to foster inclusive relationships that promote learning through inspiration, respect, role modeling, and understanding. At Botany Downs Kindergarten, we aim to cultivate a welcoming environment that supports, challenges, and provokes growth.
One of our strengths lies in fostering oral literacies, risk-taking, perceptual motor skills, divergent thinking, inclusive practices, digital media, and extensive transitional actions. We believe in the importance of nurturing these skills to prepare our students for the future.
Our pets play a pivotal role in our curriculum and embody the values we aim to develop in children. As Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals." We believe that humane treatment of animals leads people to treat others with greater civility, respect, and kindness.
As a new teaching team, we are full of enthusiasm and drive. We highly value our community and welcome their input into the curriculum. The strength of our community keeps us energized, and together, we work to provide a challenging and considered learning program based on children's interests and emerging theories.
Our curriculum highly values children's identities, cultures, and languages, which are reflected in our learning resources, stories, and displays around the center. We believe in creating an inclusive environment where children can explore and celebrate their individuality.
At Botany Downs Kindergarten, children enjoy sustained and cooperative play with their peers. They display confidence in their own abilities and engage in meaningful conversations with both their peers and adults.
Our kindergarten hours are from Monday to Friday, 8.45 am to 2.45 pm, and our office hours are from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4.45 pm. Please note that we are closed during term breaks and public holidays.
