Upper Hutt Kindergarten celebrates its 60th anniversary in April.

It was one of several kindergartens set up by the Upper Hutt Free Kindergarten Association in the decades after the Second World War in response to the ‘Baby Boom’ and the growing new subdivisions in the region dominated by young families. One of the Kindergarten Association leaders, Doris Nicholson, became a well-known public figure and subsequently went on to be elected Upper Hutt’s Mayor.

The Library’s Heritage Collection has a large archive of kindergartenrelated material which we’ll be showcasing in a new exhibition on the Heritage Wall this month. The exhibition encompasses other pre-school organisations such as playcentres and kohanga reo and will be on display until May. CENTR AL LIBR ARY HOURS VISIT POST PHONE
