January is the time at Te Puna Kindergarten when we come back from our holidays and are keen to get back into the swing of things It is also a time when we have a few spaces for new children as some of our older children have moved on to their schooling journey

Our kindergarten provides a natural space for your children to explore and discover We have 100% qualified teachers that are extremely passionate about providing quality early childhood education Our environment allows a child to build on their learning through discovery and problem-solving, with a big outdoor space that has real grass, trees, chickens and a focus on the sustainable world

Resilience, determination, and persistence are practised Knowledge gained from communication, research, and trial and error builds our learners into capable, competent children that can problem solve, make mistakes and keep on trying until their goal is met These are strategies that are used in lifelong learning

We use the community around us to take children on adventures like Farmer Burr’s orchard, Puketoki Reserve, and Te Puna Quarry Park These experiences nurture a child’s sense of wonder and curiosity, and because they have consistent opportunities to revisit these spaces, robust learning unfolds beyond
