About Fossil Bay School & Kindergarten
Welcome to Fossil Bay School & Kindergarten, located on the stunning Waiheke Island in New Zealand. As a Steiner Kindergarten & School, our institution offers a unique and holistic approach to education that nourishes our tamariki (children), enriches our community, and inspires innovative learning and creativity.
At Fossil Bay, we believe in the power of Steiner education to create a nurturing environment where children can unfold their full potential. Our Early Childhood program supports young children and their families during the foundational years, focusing on imagination and imitation as the paths for learning. We aim to create and sustain a nurturing community of inspired children, teachers, and parents.
Steiner education is known for its seasonal festivals, which are an integral part of our school curriculum. These festivals include seasonal celebrations, traditional and Māori festivals, and other significant points of the year. Through drama presentations, concerts, shared meals, and other community activities, we celebrate these festivals and foster a sense of community and connection.
One of the unique aspects of Fossil Bay is our commitment to providing a screen-free setting. We believe children do best in the early years without digital technology, allowing them to thrive through movement, arts, creativity, and the natural world around them. Our small class sizes and unhurried, natural environment provide the perfect setting for children to develop into resilient and well-rounded individuals.
At Fossil Bay, we prioritize the development of skills such as creative thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving over memorizing information. We believe that by nurturing these skills, we are preparing our children for a future that requires adaptability and innovation.
In addition to our academic curriculum, we also recognize the importance of spending time in nature. Every Friday, our beautiful outdoors become our classroom for the day, allowing children to connect with the natural world and develop a deeper appreciation for the environment.

Reviews of Fossil Bay School & Kindergarten
"Such a heart-centred, beautiful place where our two boys have flourished, firstly in the kindergarten and now the school. Other parents and I have often commented how we'd love to go back to school if we could go here!"
"Our child has been at Fossil Bay Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten for over a year now, and is flourishing there in terms of developing social and leadership skills, creative and analyatical thinking, and listening and speaking skills to name just a few. The staff are very motivated, practical, attentive and most important of all, very compassionate and loving with the children."
