Welcome to Waihi Kindergarten.
He aha te mea nui o tea o?
He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata
What is the most important thing in the world?
It is People! It is People! It is People!
We are a passionate, dedicated and highly skilled team, consisting of three qualified and fully registered teachers, one amazing administrator and two fabulous teacher aides!
We believe that strong authentic relationships based on mutual trust and respect is the foundation for everything we do here. When you walk into our kindergarten you will feel the wairua and aroha, because we are absolutely passionate about nurturing a sense of belonging for children and whanau/family. We have achieved a Silver Enviroschools Reflection!
Our children thrive in an environment that is inviting and affording, where they stretch all their learning muscles and develop a strong sense of identity. A play-based, child driven programme acknowledges and values children as agents of their own learning. The freedom to explore and discover at their own pace, means that learning is unhurried, playful and authentic.
What makes our kindergarten special?
- Our people!
- A beautiful environment with expansive bush area, river, mud pit, grass and an “all weather learning attitude!”
- Our proximity to East school and reciprocal visits to ensure a seamless transition to school process.
- We document each child’s learning journey in authentic ways, engaging whanau through the use of Story Park.
- We believe in having strong partnerships with families/whanau which means positive outcomes for all children.
- We have an open door policy so pop in for a visit, the kettle will be on.
