Follett Street Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten fosters children's natural curiosity, creativity and interests. Relationships with our community are strong and we host regular family gatherings and celebrations.
Ruahine Follett Street Kindergarten is part of the Enviroschool programme and we are developing a community garden with help from parents, local business and college students. Our environment is spacious and well resourced, including natural wilderness areas, so there is plenty to explore and learn from.
We value the culture, beliefs, skills and knowledge our families/whānau bring and build on your aspirations for your children's learning.
We are open Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 2.30pm, and closed over the Christmas and New Year break, as well as 13th January, 30th May, 7th – 10th July and 24th October when teachers are engaged in professional development.
Please contact our Head Teacher Erika to arrange a visit – contact details below.
