Dinsdale Kindergartens Waikato

Welcome to Dinsdale Kindergartens Waikato, a highly regarded institution located in Hamilton, New Zealand. Our kindergarten is known for providing high-quality and affordable education and childcare services.

At Dinsdale Kindergartens Waikato, we offer a vibrant learning environment where children engage in developmentally appropriate activities. Our curriculum is based on a play-based approach, allowing children to learn through fun and interactive experiences. Our dedicated and passionate teachers promote a bicultural program, incorporating children's interests, seasonal and community initiatives, creative arts, and environmental awareness and recycling.

Our qualified staff carefully plan programs that align with the early childhood curriculum, ensuring that children become competent, confident, and successful learners. We provide learning extensions that prepare children for school, covering numeracy, literacy, nature and science, technology, puzzles and games, creative arts, and more. We also offer a transition to school program to support children's readiness for the next stage of their educational journey.

Throughout the day, children gather for mat time, where they share daily information, stories, songs, movement, drama, and waiata (traditional Māori songs). This fosters a sense of community and encourages social interaction among the children.

We offer flexible attendance options, including extended day, morning, and afternoon sessions. We also provide 20 hours of free education and care each week for children from the age of 2. Additional hours are available at a rate of $4.00 per hour, or $5.25 per hour if you have utilized any of your 20 ECE hours at another service.

At Dinsdale Kindergartens Waikato, we believe in creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where children can thrive. We welcome you and your family/whānau to join our community and experience the enriching educational journey we offer.
