Glenbrook Kindergarten is located in the rural community of Glenbrook, West Franklin.
We provide a warm and friendly learning environment that encourages children to become competent, capable and confident learners. We promote and recognise the importance of learning through play.
Play provides opportunities for children to develop reading and writing skills, explore maths and science concepts in authentic ways.
Our learning environment inspires curiosity, problem-solving, creativity, risk-taking, exploration, and discovery.
At Glenbrook Kindergarten we actively encourage and welcome family involvement. We value the wealth of knowledge that our families and whanau can offer and actively foster this partnership.
Our curriculum is enriched through special events and visitors such as Grandparents Week, Kindergarten Disco, Father and Friends Night, and Breakfast at Kindergarten. Excursions into the wider community build upon our children’s interests and passions, motivating and inspiring children’s learning opportunities.
We are fortunate to have access to a large sports field adjacent to the Kindergarten where the children can experience hut building, time to contemplate and explore nature, and experience fun and collaborative games.
We are proud to be a Bronze Enviroschools Kindergarten. We place high importance on sustainable practices and thinking by growing, harvesting and sharing our own vegetables and fruit from our gardens and the community orchard. We care for our environment by water conservation, composting, worm farming, reducing waste, and recycling our paper and cardboard.
