Kidsfirst Kindergartens Northcote is located on Northcote Road, adjacent to the picturesque Craighead Reserve, offering convenient parking options. With a focus on children aged 2-5 years, the kindergarten fosters a strong sense of belonging by encouraging manaakitanga (caring for each other) and kaitiakitanga (caring for the environment). Tamariki are empowered to be self-directed, setting their own challenges and receiving support to achieve their goals. The indoor environment is warm and inviting, providing a homelike atmosphere where children can explore a carefully curated range of resources to spark curiosity and critical thinking. The spacious backyard offers ample room for physical development, featuring movable equipment, trees, gardens, and specially designed elements to support children's growth. Kidsfirst Northcote values community and connections, actively engaging whānau and welcoming their involvement to enrich the program. With strong links to the local primary school, the kindergarten supports a smooth transition as children move on to the next phase of their education. Parents are encouraged to initially enroll for at least two full days, gradually increasing to five days as the child's readiness allows. Kidsfirst Kindergartens Northcote takes pride in its unique learning environment and warmly welcomes visitors to experience its wonderful offerings.
