Welcome
Kindergarten is more than just care, it’s education. It’s giving your little one the foundation that will make a difference for the rest of their life. Your tamariki learn through play and 100% of our teachers hold a teaching qualification that specialises in early childhood education.
We know that more than anything, you want your child to be happy, have fun, and make friends. Our nurturing community encourages curiosity and lets them discover more of the world.
Meeting Your Whānau Needs
Every whānau is different, which is why we have both kindergartens and early learning centres to support different needs. All our locations offer up to 20 hours free for three to five-year-olds, and we’re spread across Palmerston North, Manawatū, Rangitīkei, Pahiatua, and Foxton.
20 Kindergartens Across The Region
For tamariki two years old and above.
Opening hours are 8.30am - 2.30pm, or 8.45am - 2.45pm.
Five Early Learning Centres
From three months to school.
Opening hours range from 7.30am – 5.30pm.
We’re Completely Not-for-profit
Like other ECE providers, we receive government funding. Unlike many others, we are completely not-for-profit, which means all funding and fees directly benefit the children in our care.
