Kidsfirst Kindergartens Bromley

Welcome to Kidsfirst Kindergartens Bromley, located at Bromley School in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our kindergarten is a vibrant and nurturing learning environment for children aged 2 to 5 years.

As you enter our gate, you'll be greeted by the joyful sounds of children exploring our large and leafy outdoor space. Here, our tamariki (children) have the freedom to play, connect with others, and learn through hands-on experiences. Visitors often remark on the calm and relaxed atmosphere, where children are engaged in their play and making choices that ignite their curiosity about our environment and community.

Inside, tamariki can further explore and engage in play experiences with their peers. We offer a wide range of resources and equipment, including quiet, creative, and imaginative play areas. Learning happens at each child's pace, and our dedicated teachers support them in developing the skills to work, learn, and get along with others. We strive to provide a caring, stable, and happy environment that sparks and nurtures your child's love of learning.

At Kidsfirst Kindergartens Bromley, we believe that everyone in our community is a teacher and learner. We embrace the tikanga principle of ako, where educators learn from children and acknowledge that the learner and whānau (family) cannot be separated. Our curriculum is based on the New Zealand early childhood curriculum "Te Whāriki," which lays a strong foundation for future success. Our teachers plan programs and focus areas based on each child's unique needs and aspirations.

Nature plays a vital role in our teaching approach, and we integrate the tikanga of kaitiakitanga (guardianship, care-taking) into our daily program. Through this, we guide children to develop eco-awareness and understand their role in protecting and preserving our environment.

At Kidsfirst Kindergartens Bromley, we foster a strong sense of Manaakitanga (caring and respect) and Whanaungatanga (family, relationships, history, traditions). We value the input of whānau and encourage your active involvement. Whether you join us on excursions, share stories, or simply catch up with other whānau, your presence shows your commitment to your child's education.

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

Keep an eye out for our special offers, designed to make our not-for-profit, community kindergarten accessible to more children. However, spaces are limited, so don't wait too long to secure your child's place. Conditions apply.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Kidsfirst Kindergartens Bromley, where learning is a joyful adventure filled with discovery and growth.
