Lindisfarne Kindergarten

Lindisfarne Kindergarten is in a long-established residential area which is centrally located to the city. Our kindergarten consists of a rich, diverse multi-cultural blend of tamariki and whānau. 

We strive to encompass and reflect the importance and care of each other through respect and kindness. Valuing our environment and learning ways in which we can all collectively care for Papatūānuku (Mother Earth). As an Enviroschool we respect the kaupapa that goes with this, learning for sustainability, empowering our tamariki, and encouraging sustainable communities. 

We have a large spacious outside play area/environment providing ample space to explore, be involved and engage with nature. Our indoor area offers many different spaces of play including a project room which is themed to represent our latest project of interest or focus learning. We also attend Taiao Tuhura (bush programme), which enables our tamariki to have fun in and be with nature, building resilience, extending on physical capacities, in unhurried play, building relationships and just having fun. 

We have a PMP (Perceptual Movement Programme) which supports and encourages nga tamariki to build confidence and strength in their own physical capabilities; this takes place weekly. 

We provide a range of opportunities for families and the wider community to be involved in including Polyfest and themed family nights (with themes such as PJs, fish and chips, multi-cultural dinner, mid-winter outings).
