Bell Block Pohutukawa

Kia Ora and welcome! Our kindergarten welcomes tamariki from all around our rohe. We have a long history in our community dating back to the early 1950’s.

We offer an environment that encourages, supports, and nurtures the mana of tamariki in partnership with their whānau.

Following our bi-cultural curriculum, our kaupapa is to value te reo Māori and use it eloquently, demonstrate tikanga Māori in all our practice and demonstrate manaakitanga (love and compassion) in our interactions with tamariki and whānau.

Our Values/Philosophy

Our relationships promote trust, sensitivity, flexibility, aroha, understanding, manaakitanga and patience with tamariki/whānau. Our curriculum provides for tamariki to take initiative, be active, practice language skills and to enjoy creative opportunities. Our kindergarten reflects the unique place of Māori as Tangata Whenua and the principles of partnership inherent in Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
