Welcome to Wairakei Kindergarten.
Our kindergarten was purpose built in 2015 reflecting the coastal feel of Papamoa Beach.
We have a natural outdoor environment that encourages risk taking. Our intention is that Wairakei Kindergarten will be a place of community where each member feels valued as a unique individual, in a culture of respect. Children, families, team members and the wider community will feel a sense of belonging and find long lasting friendships in a warm, responsive environment.
Our philosophy supports an inquiry based, collaborative environment fostering learning dispositions. Our bicultural curriculum underpins the teaching and learning at Wairakei.
What makes our kindergarten special?
- We are an integrated service providing playgroups from birth to kindergrten entry
- We value partnership with whanau
- We are committed to being engaged in our community
- We value our relationship with our neighbouring schools
- Current research informs our practice
- Children are at the heart of all that we do
