Curriculum and Facilities

We follow the Te Whāriki curriculum and surround children with warmth, love and beauty.

We have two beautiful kindergarten houses that share a wonderful large garden at 33 Wallace Street, Motueka – Kowhai House and Mawhero House.

Both kindergartens feature a carefully planned daily rhythm and the fostering of imaginative and creative play. Our daily rhythm balances periods of free play with times of more directed activity. Playthings are either gathered from the outdoors – such as pine cones, smooth stones and shells; or are hand-made from natural materials. This enables the children to experience directly the truth and beauty inherent in the natural world.
