What Our Whānau Say
"My kids have loved Makino kindy, they can't wait to go everyday and hate the holidays when they can't see their friends".
"Kindy got my son ready school, he had a lot more confidence by the time he went and it was easier for him to make friends".
"The teachers are awesome. Its great they have animals because we don't have them at home and we can walk there".
