Avenues Kindergarten

Welcome to Avenues Kindergarten, located at 27 Botanical Road in Tauranga, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we have been an integral part of our local community for over 50 years. Our kindergarten is well-known for our nurturing approach to early learning and our dedication to encouraging creativity, fun, and outdoor adventures.

One of the highlights of our kindergarten is our large, gorgeous outdoor play area. Children have the opportunity to discover nature and explore their surroundings in a safe and stimulating environment. In addition, we have an extra grassy reserve located right next to our kindergarten, providing even more space for outdoor activities.

At Avenues Kindergarten, we pride ourselves on the quality of our teachers. All of our teachers are 100% degree-qualified and registered, ensuring that your child receives the best education possible. It is no wonder that we routinely receive top-of-the-charts ERO reviews from New Zealand's education review authority for the learning outcomes we provide.

We understand the importance of flexibility in scheduling, which is why we offer up to 30 free hours* per week. Additionally, we accept donations to support our work in providing a high-quality education for your child. We also have longer days available, so please feel free to discuss your schedule with us.

One of the things that sets Avenues Kindergarten apart is the smooth transition our children have into their first year of schooling. Primary teachers often provide feedback on how well our children adapt and thrive in a school environment after attending our kindergarten.

Most importantly, our focus is always on the child. We strive to cultivate their natural curiosity for learning in a safe and encouraging environment. Our goal is to support them in developing the skills, knowledge, and attributes to become lifelong learners.

We are always excited to meet new families and invite you to visit us. A cup of tea is never far away as we love connecting with our community. Our large natural outdoor environment provides space for children to independently and creatively explore and grow. We have a welcoming community where all children and families/whānau are valued for their uniqueness. We prioritize following children's strengths and interests to create a personalized learning experience.

With over 50 years of experience, Avenues Kindergarten has become a well-established institution in the community. Our highly qualified teachers are committed to providing an exciting and innovative learning environment for your child.
