Ngā Tamariki Puāwai o Tāmaki | Auckland Kindergarten Association (AKA) is a charitable organisation with a proud history of providing quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) for over 100 years.

From small beginnings in 1908, we’ve adapted to changing times and circumstances, holding on to our vision that excellence in ECE is the right of all tamariki. This manawanui | commitment to purpose, makes us a leader in early childhood education.

Today we have 107 Kindergartens, and 4 KiNZ Early Learning Centres, educating over 10,000 tamariki annually.

As an organisation, we formally acknowledge the dual heritage of Aotearoa | New Zealand, and work to uphold the spirit and intent of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

AKA is a true reflection of Tāmaki Makaurau, with a wide variety of cultures, ethnicities and beliefs across our organisation. We’re inclusive and welcome all tamariki and their whānau.
