About Kidsfirst Kindergartens Avonhead
Welcome to Kidsfirst Kindergartens Avonhead, located in the heart of the Avonhead community in Christchurch, New Zealand. Situated next to the Staveley Reserve, our kindergarten is easily recognizable by our beautiful big playground.
As you enter our gates, you will immediately notice the engaged and happy children enjoying our large and leafy outdoor space. Here at Kidsfirst Kindergartens Avonhead, we believe in giving children the freedom to explore, connect with others, and learn through play. Visitors often comment on the calm and relaxed yet busy atmosphere they witness, as children work alongside each other and make choices that engage them with their environment and community.
Our backyard is a haven for children to explore and develop their physical skills. With a variety of movable equipment, children can set their own challenges and push their boundaries. The green grass, barked areas, gardens, and climbing trees provide endless opportunities for physical growth and development. Additionally, our big trees offer shelter in all weather conditions, and we have peaceful and quiet areas for moments of calm and reflection.
Kidsfirst Kindergartens Avonhead is a well-resourced establishment that offers a spacious, welcoming, and child-centered environment for children aged 2 to 5 years old. Our goal is to inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and provide plenty of opportunities to try new things through play. Play is essential to learning and development, and our program is based on exploration, inquiry, creativity, and a strong focus on sustainability. Children have the chance to care for and learn about the natural environment through hands-on experiences and curiosity-driven exploration.
Our dedicated teachers at Kidsfirst Kindergartens Avonhead are responsive to the interests, strengths, and capabilities of all children. We take the time to get to know each child and their family, building strong relationships that support their learning journey. We celebrate and affirm each child for who they are and encourage their individual interests.
Community and connectedness are at the heart of what we do. We embrace the wonderful diversity of our community and include the languages and cultures of our families in our early learning journey. We welcome whānau (family) to be involved in any way that suits them, whether it's lending a helpful hand or joining us for a part of our day.
You'll often find us out and about in our community, helping our tamariki (children) make connections and understand their place in the wider world. We have strong links with local primary schools, ensuring a smooth transition for your child as they move on from kindergarten.
We recommend enrolling your child for at least two full days initially, gradually building up to five days. This allows our teachers to get to know your child and provides consistency in supporting their learning.
Nau mai, Tauti mai - come in any time! We would love to show you around and make you feel welcome. Keep an eye out for special offers that may be available, as we strive to make our not-for-profit, community kindergarten accessible to more children. However, spaces are limited, and these offers only apply for a limited time. Conditions apply.
