Our environment offers plenty of space for children to play, learn and explore indoors and out. Our vegetable garden encourages healthy practices.
Concepts of literacy and numeracy are incorporated into planned and spontaneous activities, and we also engage imaginations through drama, music and dance. Our value system, developed in partnership with the community, is entrenched in our kindergarten culture.
We are a close community where whanau involvement is highly valued and celebrated. We look forward to meeting you and your child and embracing your contribution.
"The new hours are a brilliant fit to our community. Bulls Kindergarten are extremely effective communicators and we feel very happy with the education they offer."
"We live in the rural area so having kindy 3 days a week for our son is extremely important. It is vital as it gets them ready for school."
"My son loves it and looks forward to it each session. He plays but also is learning a lot."
