Central Kids Charles Kindergarten
About the Business
Welcome to Central Kids Charles Kindergarten in Putāruru, New Zealand! At our establishment, we prioritize the importance of learning through play for our tamariki mokopuna (children). Located on Charles Crescent, our indoor and outdoor areas provide exciting challenges and opportunities for learning for children aged 2 years to school age.
At Central Kids Charles Kindergarten, we are dedicated to upholding the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the Treaty of Waitangi. We engage in kōrero (conversation) in Te Reo Māori, embrace kaupapa Māori (Māori principles), and immerse ourselves in Te Ao Māori (the Māori world). Our kaiako (teachers) are committed to ongoing learning and development in this area.
We value the diversity of our tamariki and their families, recognizing and celebrating home languages, cultures, and our wider community. We actively engage in hīkoi (excursions) and maintain strong relationships with Huri, Pikitū Marae, Barnett’s Reserve, and Te Wharekura o Pātetere. In fact, our location is conveniently situated just 50 meters from Te Wharekura o Pātetere.
We welcome visitors to our kindergarten at any time. Feel free to come in and see our learning environment for yourself. Our fees, after government entitlements, are $5.00 per hour.
In addition to Central Kids Charles Kindergarten, our wider network of early learning centers includes Tokoroa Early Learning Centre and Tūrangi Kindergarten. We are grateful to Pelorus Trust for their support in providing new blinds at Tūrangi Kindergarten. Furthermore, Kihikihi Kindergarten is fostering a new generation of gardeners!
We operate from Monday to Friday, and our term breaks align with the school calendar.
Join us at Central Kids Charles Kindergarten, where we prioritize learning through play, embrace the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and foster a strong sense of community and cultural diversity.

"Central Kids Charles has grown so much in the last year and my son absolutley loves all his new teachers. They genuinley care about each & every one of those kids, going the extra mile for us parents & coversating about how my son grows & the behaviour he displays weather its good or not. Thats so important to me & I appreciate everything they have done & continue to do for my son. Keep it up Charles! I see you & I am so grateful for you all ❤️"
"Our daughter started at Charles Kindergarten about 14 weeks ago, having never attended any ECE Centre prior to this. The teachers welcomed our daughter enthusiastically and showed awareness to her shyness but also gently encouraged her to participate and cope on her own and with her peers in establishing new friendships. One of our most immediate observations of this Centre was the sense of calmness in the general running of the morning experiences and routines. It was also nice to see the individual personalities of the children being celebrated and nurtured. The children learn through play and are able to make choices within a safe and secure environment. The opportunities and activities they provide have helped spark and develop our daughter's curiosity and thirst for knowledge setting her up perfectly for starting school. It is refreshing and a joy to hear our daughter now counting down the days until she gets to go to kindy next. Highly recommend!"
"Central kids Charles kindy have such an amazing team! My daughters kaiako are all so kind and caring, they’ve made the transition into kindy a breeze. I love that my girl has freedom of doing what she wants but still has routine there. They are all so patience and helpful couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you team for being so amazing ❤️"
"I love Charles Kindy. My daughter has flourished into an independent sassy girl. Loves waking up to go kindy. Loves playing with her friends. Each month I get an update of how well she's doing and all her accomplishments. The kaiako are friendly and caring. Best Kindy xoxo"
"I can not speak highly enough of this centre and the staff. From day one they welcomed us and our son and we felt immediately comfortable. This was a huge deal for us as our Son hasn't left our side, ever! He must have felt the same warmth because he settled in very quickly and loves his days at "school". Keep up the amazing work team, and know that you are all appreciated for everything you do!"
