Poppies Kindergarten has been proudly operating within the Remuera/Parnell community for over 30 years.
Our aim at Poppies is to offer young children a high quality introduction to a happy and successful life of learning. Numerous generations of families in the area have spent their early days here.
The Poppies Childcare session runs from 8:15am-3.30pm for ages 2-6 years and we are licenced for just 40 children. We are a privately owned family run kindy staffed by dedicated and passionate, qualified teachers.
Poppies Kindy is located on the sunny corner of Shore Road and Hapua Street, with sweeping views across the road to Thomas Bloodworth Park and we feel very fortunate to be able to explore the natural environment of this local park on our doorstep.
Our Childcare facilities have been purpose built and designed to be welcoming and to stimulate children’s creative learning and development whilst ensuring their safety and comfort.
The design and layout of our Early Childhood Education centre promotes indoor/outdoor flow, with large bifold doors folded back to flow out to our playground. Poppies castle is nestled under a large mature tree offering a natural source of shade over the sandpit and mudpie kitchen.
We also have an enormous space upstairs for the performing arts and extra-curricular activities. This specialist environment offers opportunities to engage in music, singing, dance and dramatic play, to build confidence and oral language skills. Regular storybook yoga and gym sessions provide physical activity during rainy days.
