Melville Kindergartens Waikato

Welcome to Melville Kindergartens Waikato, a renowned institution located in Hamilton, New Zealand. Situated at Trigg Place, 5, our establishment is not just a school, but also a point of interest for families in the community. We take pride in offering high-quality education and childcare services at affordable rates.

At Melville Kindergartens Waikato, we have a team of qualified and passionate teachers who are dedicated to providing the best learning experience for your child. Our spacious outdoor spaces allow children to explore and engage in physical activities, fostering their overall development.

We understand the importance of preparing children for their transition to school. That's why we offer specialized transition to school programs that focus on numeracy, literacy, nature, science, computers, and technology. Our curriculum also includes creative arts, puzzles, games, and sand and water play, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience.

One of our key features is the provision of 20 ECE (Early Childhood Education) hours each week. From the age of 2, your child can benefit from 20 hours of free education. For any additional hours, we charge a nominal fee of $4.00 per hour, or $5.25 per hour if you have attested any of your 20 ECE hours at another service.

Our institution is deeply rooted in the Melville community, and we welcome children, parents, and whanau (extended family). The grounds of our kindergartens are beautifully maintained, with native gardens that provide a serene and natural environment for early childhood education.

We are proud to offer bicultural, literacy, and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) programs that enhance the learning journey of our children. Our qualified staff carefully plan and implement these programs, ensuring that each child becomes a competent, confident, and successful learner.

At Melville Kindergartens Waikato, we believe in fostering a sense of community and collaboration among our children. Through daily mat time sessions, children share information, stories, songs, and engage in movement, drama, and waiata (traditional Māori songs). This encourages social interaction and the development of strong friendships.

Our daily schedule is designed to provide a structured and engaging environment for our children. From welcome activities in the morning to mat time sessions, morning tea, tidy up time, and various learning activities throughout the day, we ensure that each child's needs are met in a nurturing and supportive environment.
