Fairfield Kindergartens Waikato is committed to affordability, offering 20 hours free from the age of 2. For any additional hours, the cost is $4.00 per hour. Please note that if you have attested any of your 20 ECE hours at another service, the cost increases to $5.25 per hour.

We take pride in our reputation for providing high-quality, affordable education and childcare. Our institution embraces diversity and creates a warm, caring, and welcoming family environment. We understand that every child has unique physical and academic developmental needs, and we cater to these needs by offering a wide range of quality learning experiences.

Our qualified staff carefully plan programs that align with the early childhood curriculum, ensuring that children become competent, confident, and successful learners. Our teachers provide learning extensions that cover various areas, such as numeracy, literacy, nature and science, computers and technology, puzzles and games, creative arts, sand and water play, trips, transition to school programs, and fostering child friendships.

Children at Fairfield Kindergartens Waikato engage in daily mat time activities, where they participate in sharing information, stories, songs, movement, drama, and waiata (traditional Māori songs). This fosters a sense of community and enhances their social and communication skills.

The whare is reset from 2:45pm to 3:00pm, and afternoon sessions and full-day sessions end at 3:30pm, when children go home.
