Nau mai haere mai ki Fairlie Area Kindergarten

The teaching team warmly welcome you to come and join our whānau of learners in our very special and long established rural kindergarten environment.

Our kindergarten is located in a quiet street and boasts a spacious indoor and outdoor environment. The range of spaces throughout the kindergarten invites a variety of opportunities for play and the established trees and gardens reflect a beautiful park like setting where tamariki are motivated to explore and discover.

Our moemoeā, vision, for tamariki is to enable them to experience the success and joy of learning through play. This is nurtured by kaiako who live alongside you in this community and who value a strong sense of whānaungatanga. Knowing who you are and what you bring to this place are key to establishing respectful, reciprocal and trusting relationships.

We look forward to seeing you soon

Whānau comments:

"As soon as I spoke to the teaching team, I knew Fairlie Kindy was for us, when we arrived on our first day, the feeling of anxiety disappeared instantly and we felt welcomed and loved not only towards our child but for myself as well - 3 years on and that same feeling is as strong as ever. I didn't want to leave and neither did our child. It is always a safe and happy place for our whole family. Fairlie kindy teachers are our family."
