Te Puna Kindergarten

Welcome to Te Puna Kindergarten, nestled in the charming rural village of Te Puna in New Zealand. Located at 17C Minden Road, our establishment is a point of interest and a school, offering a unique learning experience for children.

Our purpose-built kindergarten is designed with eco-efficiency in mind, thanks to our building partners and contributors from the Te Puna community. The sunny location and modern facilities create a relaxed and bright learning environment that children love. They are especially fond of our kindergarten chickens, adding an element of excitement and responsibility to their learning journey.

At Te Puna Kindergarten, we are proud to have qualified teachers who are passionate about nurturing each child's development. With a focus on "learning through play," we tailor our approach to cater to each child's strengths and interests. This approach fosters a warm and encouraging atmosphere, allowing children to thrive in their learning journey.

Our natural outdoor environments provide endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. Children can climb over tree stumps, witness the growth of spring flowers, and embark on adventures to Farmer Burr's Farm. Here, they can pat lambs, learn about planting potatoes, and indulge in fruit tastings from the orchard. Our giant banana tree is also a favorite spot for getting lost in imaginative play.

At Te Puna Kindergarten, we emphasize the importance of caring for the land, Papatūānuku, and its flora and fauna. This not only provides hours of fascination and discovery but also instills a sense of environmental responsibility in our young learners.

We pride ourselves on our welcoming and involved community, and we encourage you to bring your tamariki for a visit and a friendly chat. Our kettle is always on, ready to welcome you into our warm and nurturing environment.

Experience the beauty of our natural outdoor environment, the passion of our qualified staff, and the joy of learning through play at Te Puna Kindergarten. Join us in creating a fun, creative, and stimulating learning environment for your child.
