Kidsfirst Kindergartens Richmond

Welcome to Kidsfirst Kindergartens Richmond, located in the heart of the Richmond neighborhood in Christchurch, New Zealand. With almost 100 years of experience, we have been dedicated to teaching and nurturing local children in our community.

At Kidsfirst Richmond, we provide a well-resourced and inviting environment for children aged 2 to 5 years. Our spacious indoor space offers countless opportunities for children to explore, learn, and unleash their creativity through play. We strive to create a fun-filled atmosphere that fosters independence and a sense of belonging.

Our expansive backyard gives children the freedom to engage with the natural world and develop their physical skills. With a variety of movable equipment, children can set their own challenges and explore their surroundings. The outdoor area features green grass, barked areas, gardens, and even climbing trees, all designed to support physical growth and development. Our big trees provide shelter in all weather conditions, while peaceful and quiet areas encourage calmness and reflection.

Our dedicated teaching team is committed to helping each child develop the ability to work, learn, and get along with others. We provide a caring, stable, and happy environment where your child can thrive. Time spent at Kidsfirst Kindergartens Richmond will spark your child's curiosity and nurture their natural love for learning.

Community and connectedness are at the core of our values. We highly value the relationships we build with our families and embrace the multiculturalism and diversity of our community. We encourage family involvement and love when parents and whānau visit and take part in their child's kindergarten day, sharing their skills, knowledge, language, and culture to enrich our program.

We believe in strengthening the connection our children have with their local community, which is why you'll often see us out and about exploring our surroundings. Our strong links with local primary schools also help ensure a smooth transition for your child as they move on from kindergarten.

We recommend enrolling your child for at least two full days initially, gradually building up to five days at their own pace. This allows our teachers to get to know your child and provides consistency in supporting their learning.

Nau mai, tauti mai - come in anytime! We welcome you to visit our kindergarten and experience the warmth and inclusiveness of our community. From time to time, we offer special promotions to enable more children to join our not-for-profit, community kindergarten. However, spaces are limited, and these offers only apply for a limited time. Conditions may apply.

Join us at Kidsfirst Kindergartens Richmond, where your child's growth and development are our top priorities.
