At Lynfield Kindergarten we are future focused and are passionate about building resilience for a healthier tomorrow.

A place to belong – Relationships are the cornerstone of our practice. We show manaaki by making everyone feel welcome. We are inclusive of all cultures and passionate about bi cultural practice. We love to celebrate cultural events and welcome whānau anytime. Our staff are diverse and we have speakers of English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Croatian and Hindi.

Independent and empowered – Guided by the NZ National Curriculum Te Whāriki, we are child centred we see each child as a competent, capable learner and communicator. We have high expectations of our tamariki and encourage self-help skills, fostering these through our interactions.

Learning spaces – We have a wonderful environment for our children to learn in. Our outdoor space is natural and spacious we have a good selection of equipment that we tailor to children’s interests. The indoor area is set up to engage children with quality resources available for them access freely and explore. We offer a range of activities to extend children’s interests and knowledge and skills.

Local connections – We work with the school next door to build good transition for our tamariki going to school. We enjoy regular excursions according to children’s interests and we invite members of our community to share their talents with us.

Having fun together – Being a part of our kindergarten whānau means you’ll always have an opportunity to get together for celebrations. Our disco at the end of the year is a big highlight for our community and is always well attended and lots of fun.

We welcome you to come and visit us at Lynfield Kindergarten to see our kindy in action. We can talk to you about the learning that happens and show you all we have to offer.
