Central Kids Ngongotaha Kindergarten

Welcome to Central Kids Ngongotaha Kindergarten, located at 19 School Road in Rotorua, New Zealand. Our establishment is a point of interest in the community, offering a nurturing and inclusive environment for children to learn and grow.

At Central Kids Ngongotahā, our dedicated teaching team prioritizes children's strengths, interests, and learning preferences. We believe in providing a bi-cultural curriculum focus, which is evident in all aspects of our learning environment on a daily basis. This ensures that children have the opportunity to develop an understanding and appreciation for both Māori and non-Māori cultures.

One of our standout features is our expansive outdoor area, which encourages children to explore and engage with nature. Our outdoor space, known as Te Waonui o Tāne, provides stimulating and challenging activities that cater to children's physical needs. It is a place where active play thrives, fostering the development of gross motor skills and a love for the outdoors.

Central to everything we do at Central Kids Ngongotahā are the relationships we build with our tamariki (children), whānau (families), hapu (sub-tribes), and iwi (tribes). We firmly believe that strong relationships are the foundation of our teaching philosophy. By establishing responsive and reciprocal relationships, we create a sense of trust and confidence in our whānau, ensuring a high-quality early learning environment for their children.

Our administrator, Catherine Walshe, leads our team with passion and dedication. She is committed to providing a nurturing and enriching experience for every child at Central Kids Ngongotahā.

In terms of fees, we offer affordable rates of $5.00 per hour after government entitlements. We believe in making quality early learning accessible to all families in our community.

We are proud to be part of the wider Central Kids Early Education family, which includes other renowned institutions such as Tokoroa Early Learning Centre and Tūrangi Kindergarten. Our community connections allow us to collaborate and learn from each other, ensuring we provide the best possible education and care for our children.

Whether it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, Central Kids Ngongotahā is open and ready to welcome your child. We also offer term breaks to give families flexibility in their schedules.
