AKA kindergartens are public kindergartens, and receive some government funding, however, donations from parents / whānau and ongoing fundraising efforts are necessary to make up the amount needed to deliver the high quality kindergarten services we offer.
Every year, approximately 10,000 children benefit from the quality early childhood education provided by AKA kindergartens. Research shows that the early years of a child’s life are a critical influence on the child’s lifelong learning and development. High quality early childhood learning experiences lay the foundation for all later learning.
Support from sponsors and the public is essential and hugely appreciated.
