Welcome to James Gray Kindergartens Waikato, located at 18 Kingsley Street in Cambridge, New Zealand. Our establishment is a point of interest and a school, providing a nurturing and stimulating educational environment for children and their families/whanau.

At James Gray Kindergartens Waikato, we have a team of qualified and passionate teachers who are dedicated to the growth and development of each child. Our spacious outdoor spaces allow children to explore and engage in physical activities, fostering their overall well-being.

Our fees are affordable, with 20 hours free for children aged two and above. Any additional hours are charged at $4.00 per hour, except if you have attested any of your 20 ECE hours at another service, in which case the rate is $5.25 per hour.

At James Gray Kindergartens Waikato, we follow the early childhood curriculum, ensuring that our programs are designed to foster competence, confidence, and success in our young learners.

Children gather together during mat time to share daily information, stories, songs, movement, drama, and waiata. This encourages social interaction and helps develop important skills such as communication and cooperation.

Our daily schedule involves welcoming children and their families/whanau, engaging in child-led learning activities, mat time hui for sharing and learning, morning or afternoon tea reminders, tidy-up time, and farewells at the end of the day.

James Gray Kindergartens Waikato is renowned for delivering high-quality and affordable education and childcare in Cambridge. We strive to create a welcoming, caring, safe, and inclusive environment where children and their families/whanau feel respected and valued.
