Welcome to Linton Kindergarten
Our kindergarten philosophy of Kaitiakitanga, Whanaungatanga, Ako, Whakamana and Manaakitanga means strong foundations are laid for our tamariki, whānau and hapori to grow and learn.
It means we are protectors of our environment, we value relationships and connections, we learn with and from each other, we are all empowered to learn and grow, and we are respectful and we care.
We are proud to be a Silver Enviroschool. Sustainability is a part of our everyday kaupapa. Tamariki are empowered to be involved in planting, gardening, composting, harvesting, caring for animals and small creatures, looking after our worm farm and caring for our local ngahere.
Our care code supports tamariki to learn about caring for our planet, our friends, our toys, our gardens and living things in our environment.
We provide a supportive environment for whānau, particularly during times of deployment when sole parenting can be a challenge for army families.
We look forward to getting to know you and your child as we learn together.

"Very important source of early childhood education. Everyone loves going there!"
"Kindergarten has been great for our daughter making friends, learning lots of new things and having opportunities that are not always possible to offer at home."
