Future Kids Preschool Hamilton, New Plymouth and Hawera
About the Business
Welcome to Future Kids Preschool, located in Hamilton, New Plymouth, and Hawera, New Zealand. Our institution is dedicated to providing a green and sustainable home away from home for children, where they can express themselves and be loved and supported for who they are. Our vision is to ensure that each child and their families leave with the foundations of environmental sustainability and a love of learning and life.
At Future Kids, we believe in empowering children and adults to be creative risk-takers, promoting positive attitudes and values that lead to open-ended learning experiences. We inspire our community to adopt clean, green, and environmentally friendly practices for our future. Our goal is to empower children to become confident learners and communicators.
Future Kids was born from a dream to make a difference in Early Learning Education for Kiwi families. We provide the perfect environment where imagination can be grown and skills can be developed. With our good old-fashioned values, we offer homegrown cooked meals that include organic wholesome food with our no added sugar policy - each and every day!
We strive to provide a green and sustainable home away from home in a wholesome, natural environment. Our center features a fruit orchard with a variety of organic fruit for the children to pick and eat, including apples, Nashi, feijoas, peaches, plums, oranges, lemons, raspberries, and mandarins. Our fences are lined with grape vines and hedges made from fruit trees as part of our vision to have an edible garden. Each room has its own raised-bed gardens where we grow organic vegetables, herbs, and fresh strawberries. All of the produce grown is eaten by the children, with any excess offered to our families or used for fundraising activities.
In addition to providing organic wholefood choices with a zero sugar policy, our centers are also home to a family of animals, including chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, a Kunekune pig, beehives, and a worm farm. Children have the opportunity to interact with and care for these animals, as well as participate in collecting food waste from meals to feed the chickens and worm farms. This hands-on experience encourages children to learn about sustainability and the way nature relates to their daily lives.
We are committed to creating a non-toxic environment by using eco-friendly cleaning products and recycling all waste in our centers. Each room has purpose-built recycling centers for organic food waste, soft plastics, hard plastics, and cardboard. We also have rainwater tanks that gather rainwater from the roof and feed it back to the gardens and orchard. Furthermore, our center utilizes solar energy panels, providing a renewable source of energy with no direct greenhouse gas emissions.
To ensure the health and wellness of our children, our centers are fitted with HRV water filters, delivering clean filtered water from every tap. We also prioritize the use of high-quality, non-toxic wood furniture that is locally made in New Zealand, emphasizing beauty, functionality, and environmental awareness.
At Future Kids Preschool Hamilton, New Plymouth, and Hawera, we are committed to providing a nurturing and sustainable environment where children can thrive and grow. Join us in creating a better future for our children and our planet.

Reviews
"My daughter loves her time at Future kids. I love how eco based they are and that I know she's always getting well balanced, healthy and organic meals."
"Un-enrolled our child a couple of days into the settling visits. Teachers showed next to no interest in us as parents or our child, very unwelcoming environment entering the infant room, teachers were very flat and un interested, no questions asked about our child during settling week or interest shown to get to know her in terms of what she likes/dislikes or routine at home, next to no interaction, no plan discussed with us about settling our child in. Would not be comfortable leaving my child here. Unsure about the centre as a whole but this was our experience in the infant room."
"Such and awesome centre! The team at Future Kids have done such a great job towards creating a beautiful environment for the children to learn, play and grow in. I highly recommend this centre and couldn't speak highly enough of it."

"Kids enjoy their time and learn before they go to school"
