Puketapu Kindergarten

Nau mai, haere mai ki Puketapu Kindergarten. Thank you for taking the time to look at our place to be a potential learning environment for your child/ren.

We are a friendly, supportive and fun kindergarten that encourages and supports children to be confident, courageous and compassionate life-long learners. Our children lead their learning and are supported by experienced and knowledgable kaiako/teachers. We value relationships with whānau, tamariki, the community and each other. These are at the forefront of everything we do.

We value learning that is authentic and led by children. We support children to be confident in all areas of their learning, which also includes self help moments. Having courage to speak up for themselves, for a friend or their environment is important and an area that we foster strongly. Developing compassion towards their learning environment, friends and kaiako is a disposition that is valued and fostered here.

Our Kindergarten Environment
We have an amazing kindergarten environment. Our inside area has a variety of spaces for our tamariki to play and learn in. We make it feel like a home away from home, and are always working on improving this. Our outside area is large and has an abundance of fruit trees and shrubs. We are an Enviroschools kindergarten and thrive on sustainabiity practices. Our tamariki are able to be risk takers to learn what their capabilities are.
