Te Kowhai Kindergartens Waikato

Welcome to Te Kowhai Kindergartens Waikato! Located in the beautiful town of Te Kowhai, our institution offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow.

At Te Kowhai Kindergartens Waikato, we have a team of qualified and passionate teachers who are dedicated to providing high-quality education to your child. We believe in fostering respectful and reciprocal relationships between staff, families, children, and the natural environment.

Our outdoor spaces are large and spacious, providing ample opportunities for children to explore and connect with nature. We have recently renovated our building, ensuring it is well-resourced, light, and spacious. This enables us to extend children's interests and support them in becoming competent, confident, and independent learners and communicators.

We offer flexible attendance options, including extended day, school day, morning, and afternoon sessions. Additionally, we provide 20 hours of free early childhood education each week for children from the age of 2. For any additional hours, we charge $4.00 per hour, or $5.25 per hour if you have attested any of your 20 ECE Hours at another service.

Our qualified staff carefully plan programmes that align with the early childhood curriculum, ensuring that your child receives a well-rounded education. We focus on numeracy, literacy, nature and science, technology, creative arts, and more. Our transition to school programme prepares children for the next phase of their education journey.

Throughout the day, children engage in mat time where they share daily information, stories, songs, and movement activities. This fosters a sense of community and encourages children to develop their communication and social skills.

We have a structured daily routine that includes welcome and farewell times, activities led by children, and tidy up sessions. This helps children develop a sense of routine and responsibility.

Te Kowhai Kindergartens Waikato is well-respected in the community for delivering affordable and high-quality education. We invite you to visit our institution and see our beautiful natural setting and well-resourced facilities. Join us in providing your child with a nurturing and enriching learning experience.
