Kia ora and welcome to Ōwairaka Kindergarten
Ōwairaka Kindergarten is set in a large leafy garden, down a long driveway back from the road. Children love our outdoor play area – it’s inviting and interactive, with natural areas for children to explore, learn and develop their own interests and physical skills. There is plenty of room for running, climbing, jumping and exploring.
Creative learning – Children are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity as they choose how they want to play and what activities they want to engage with. The teachers work alongside children to encourage and extend their learning through fun project work.
Skills for life – Rich language, early literacy and mathematical concepts are incorporated into our day in our well-resourced kindergarten. Important life skills such as sharing, patience, self-confidence and resilience are supported and encouraged as children prepare to transition to school.
