Welcome to Whenuapai Kindergarten, where we are committed to providing a safe, loving and fun environment for your child to learn and grow. We value a connection to nature and boast a natural outdoor space that encourages active movement and exploration.

We assist your child to develop their independence while having a strong focus on developing social competencies. We encourage a culture of ‘kindness’ where we speak and show kindness to others as well as focus on looking after our natural world through sustainable practices.

Being uniquely located next to Whenuapai Primary School provides us with opportunities to visit the school and we provide a strong transition to school programme.

We welcome you to pop in and visit us any time.  We would love the opportunity to meet you and your little one, to show you around and to answer any questions you may have.

We are an experienced team who are passionate about developing children’s independence, resilience and supporting them to become capable and confident lifelong learners and communicators. Our team currently consists of four fully registered teachers, a part time administrator, and an unqualified teacher aide and teaching assistant.

We are all passionate about teaching, and have a variety of interests. You can read our individual teacher profiles displayed at Whenuapai Kindergarten beside the office door.

We believe that a trusting, friendly and happy working environment also means that children are happy and content. Whenuapai also has a very involved and friendly parent support group who welcome all new families.

We look forward to meeting you and your family.
