Central North Island Kindergarten Trust

Welcome to Central North Island Kindergarten Trust, located at Glenshea Street in Putāruru, New Zealand. Our institution is not just a school, but a point of interest and establishment that aims to create a home away from home for every child.

At Central North Island Kindergarten Trust, we believe that play is essential for growth. That's why we have adopted the Te Whāriki early learning curriculum, an evidence-based and holistic learning program. Through this curriculum, we provide the best possible environment for children to explore and discover the world they live in, allowing them to reach their full potential.

Our approach fosters the development of a strong sense of self, belonging, and identity in our tamariki (children). We empower them to embark on their own journey and prepare for the future as they continue to grow and develop. This growth is not limited to their education, but also through meaningful connections with their community and the natural environment.

We firmly believe that the future of our tamariki involves all of us. As they grow, we all grow together. That's why we invite you to find your local kindergarten or early childhood center and give your tamariki the best chance to grow and discover by joining our whānau (family) today.

Join us at Central North Island Kindergarten Trust and give your child the best possible start to their educational journey. Together, let's create a future where we all grow and thrive.
