Childcare options in Riverton

At Riverton Kindergarten we value relationships, learning together and using conversations to connect us. We encourage children to be active, confident explorers, solve problems and make decisions. 

Our smaller group size of just 20 children ensures all children have space and time for exploration. Community involvement is important to us; we encourage our community to be involved with the kindergarten and we involve our children with the wider community. 

We use local resources such as the museum and seashore within our programme. Wherever possible we incorporate what is happening in the community with our learning. 

Parents and visitors are welcome to join in with us at kindergarten and on excursions. 

We also offer a playgroup on Mondays where parents and children who are looking to join us can come along to be part of the kindergarten in action.

We meet community, whanau and tamariki needs through experienced kaiako; close, supportive, caring relationships; strong community links in a fun, unique environment.  

Riverton Childcare was founded in 2003 to meet the community need for quality, full day, early childhood education and care.   

At Riverton Childcare tamariki (children) are viewed as individuals who are supported by caring kaiako (teachers) to reach their full potential. We believe our tamariki have a great sense of belonging and respect for each other. They are competent and confident learners, who are developing their own identities as they engage with and alongside others.
