We are a kindergarten that is culturally diverse. Our families belong to several ethnic groups and our common theme is respecting and looking after each other. He wahi maanaki tenei mo tatou katoa.

We are open 48 weeks per year, this means that your family will be able to access the high quality programme we currently run for 48 weeks a year. This opportunity came about because NKA and the teachers, are aware that there are many within the community that require a service in what would usually be school holidays breaks. Families will continue to have a choice around when their child attends and will not lose their position at kindergarten if they chose to only attend a few of the extra days.

Our programme is woven within the principals and strands of Te Whaariki, the Early Childhood Curriculum He Whaariki Matauranga mo nga Mokopuna o Aotearoa. It is an exciting sector to be involved in and teachers aim to follow children’s strengths and interests to stimulate and extend their learning within these dimensions.

You will find four very dedicated teachers who are qualified and registered who work hard to enhance learning opportunities for your tamariki, this means we are a 100% qualified teaching staff. Our ratio is 1-10. We also have a very dedicated support staff/admin person, who is also our cook. We provide morning tea and cooked lunches for all our children each day.

We are part of the Kidscan trial for ECE so we are able to supply all kai at no cost. We are also part of the Northland DHB initiative around teeth brushing once a day in the kindergarten. The dental team visit us once a term to monitor the children’s teeth and to ensure they get treatments if needed. The DHB supply all the resources required for this to happen.
