Kindergarten in Auckland

“Our grandaughter attended Epsom North Kindergarten for the past 2years and I have nothing but admiration for the teachers. They run an amazing curiculum of children learn by play.They are understanding of different cultures and the children love them.They have made the transition to school so easy for our grandaughter.I would totally recommend Epsom North Kindy it's a family inclusive kindy.”

“Very well organised and all teachers are very friendly. Had my 2nd daughter in this kindy few years ago and now my 3rd daughter is in. She loves it so much.”

“A beautiful nature based kindergarten!”

“Highly recommended. You guys are the best!”

“Highly recommend DBK, the staff are warm, welcoming and take great care of the kids. The outside space is large with plenty of play equipment, perfect for kids who love being outdoors like mine. The staff have been so helpful with my Autistic sons extra needs and making referrals for supports for him.”

“I went here, only fond memories of the few I have”

“Both of my girls have gone through Te Atatū Peninsula Kindergarten (6y & just turned 5y). The team creates a safe, fun environment for our tamariki to thrive in their years before starting school. I would and do recommend this kindy to anybody who will listen!”

“Both my daughter and son have attended this kindy and we've found the teachers and carers to strike a terrific balance between providing soothing care and encouraging independent discovery. They have gone to lengths to observe and nurture the specific interests of our children and there is a good number and diversity of carers who have each brought their own lovely and unique personality/perspective to our children's development. The kindergarten itself is dense with a wide range of enrichment areas both inside and out, with play areas including books, cars, figurines, dress ups, various mock up rooms including kitchen, along with a plethora of outside activities from sandpit and swings to a vegetable garden and bug hunting. The carers themselves clearly have a devotion to providing the best environment for our children's development and always present as a friction-free team that nurture each other as well as the kids. As probably most of the kids at Westmere Kindy will then go on to Westmere School, they also organise introductory days for late four year olds by walking the couple of hundred metres to the school and spending a few hours in the room they'll be occupying when they turn 5. In short, exactly the people and environment I'm happy to entrust my preschoolers to.”

“All my children and grandchildren went there and had good fun made a lot of friends. Teachers were excellent and always strive to go the extra mile. kindergarten Kept me well informed”

“Mt Albert Kindergarten is a lovely kindy with kind and caring teachers. The outdoor area has lots of room and a huge sandpit.”

“Amazing Kindergarten and teachers are wonderful! My daughter just love going there ! Highly recommended”

“Fantastic staff and location here. Beautiful and spacious gardens that the children tend to, as well as great play equipment. Our children continues to enjoy wonderful and open relationships with the staff and former classmates.There is a grand and old tree in the middle, which really sets this kindy apart from so many small and cramped ECEs.”

“The best decision I made was taking my daughter out of her daycare and starting her at Favona Kindy. My mum enrolled her when she was born and a space only came up when she turned 3yrs, the waiting list is long. The teachers Sally, Joyce & Teena are the best and the reason my daughter loved attending, they are interactive with the kids in everything, they are caring and genuinely love playing and teaching the kids. Every term they had a at least one trip to Snowplanet; Zoo; Devonport using a bus, train and ferry boat; Motat or some where the kids were interested in. Monica would make lunches every day for $3 my daughter would get a sandwich, fruit, carrot & celery with hummus and 3-4 other choices these healthy food choices have continued on through Primary because she enjoys these foods now being a part of her daily eating habits. They recently upgraded their facilities and to top things off they received a 5yr Ero Report which is very rare. If you want your child to have an awesome preschool experience to lead into real school and where they are apart of a caring, supportive and nurturing environment then send your child to Favona Kindy. They deserve it!!”

“Beautiful space with beautiful teachers. My son was so happy here. The teachers are amazing and helped nurture and grow him into the amazing little boy he is now. Cannot say enough how wonderful it is. 100% recommend it if you're looking for care.”

“It's been 16 years since I've been here but I still remember the caring and patient staff at this kindergarten. Paula and Simrat who worked here in 2005/2006 always looked after the children, they never shouted or got angry about accidents and overall had great work ethic. Highly recommended to take your children here once they turn 4. The only down side though is during school holidays their services are limited.”

“This is a fun and exciting place to be super friendly staff my experience here was awesome stress free enrollment and enviroment most of all my daughter loves her new school.”

“Very good, experienced teachers and a lovely team”

“This kindergarten boasts a wide range of interactive learning tools, natural resources, and a kind, thoughtful head teacher. They look after my little brother with so much care, and I can see his awesome progress thanks to their regular updates through photos and videos. There is no better place to send your children.”

“Realy nice Kindergarten with a lovely team of teachers and a nice play area”

“Howick Kindergarten entrance is from the Wellington St. If see on the map it seems like it is on the Waterloo St. But it is not and it is from Wellington St. There is a small sign board "Howick Kindergarten" on the entrance of the by road. Cannot imagine there will be such a nice kindergarten inside that road. The staff and teachers are very nice, very friendly and helpful and taking good care of the kids. Inside the kindergarten, there are plenty of activities kids can do. Sometimes we cannot find this much of activities even in big place. Kids can play with sand and some sand activities with toys and many kids enjoying this. They have the freedom to do whatever they like there. Some containers kids can collect water and some kids make holes and filling water, some kids filling sand to containers, some filling sand to trucks and they are enjoying very much. Next to that, there are some activities area, like sliding, climbing, rope activities, and some other I don't know the names. Inside the classrooms there are activities like different kind puzzles, watercolor painting activity, then small carpentry workshop with all the hammers, screwdrivers, goggles, saw, nails, pliers, clamp, leveling instrument, and some other instruments, And there is a big basin and teachers fill up the water to that basin and kids allow to do some water sports, floating boats, filling different water bottles, different shapes, funnels,.......etc, Then around 10:30am, school arrange kids with milk and fruits. And the day I stayed with my son, (as he was crying I had to stay with him sometime there inside the kindergarten), I saw teachers made fried rice with kids, teachers advise and show them hot to clean and cut vegetables and kids do it as a activities and everything did with kids help and I saw kids were enjoying that very much and at the end, everybody eat fried rice as lunch and it was amazingly delicious. My son ate 2 times the fried rice. Some kids playing with play houses, some are doing some painting and drawing. some are playing all the time. And there are more activities to do. I saw next to classrooms, there is a nice garden with flowers and kids enjoying that garden too. And there are many other activities kids can do and I just told what I saw and notice only. so, it was an amazing experience for me, looking at the kids and how the teachers let kids to do different activities and give them such a nice experience where kids cannot have at homes. My son was crying and teachers were trying their best to make him calm and their service and efforts beyond someone can expect. So, I have no hesitation to recommend this place for anybody looking for a kindergarten. And I'm putting this note as a privilege and to respect their polite service and honest efforts for looking after kids.”

“Great kindy ! all 7 of my kids have attended the teachers are all awesome . Sad to leave kindy”

“My son attended Bayview Kindergarten and he absolutely loved it. My daughter is there also and about to 'graduate' to school. I have found the teachers competent, caring, and absolutely lovely. The environment is top quality and the growth and development of both my children in their time there is noticed and appreciated. Thanks”

“Dropped my kids off here, haven't seen them since! Great service and lovely employees.”

“I have nothing but positive comments about Onehunga Kindergarten. It is such a wonderful, nurturing environment for children to explore and grow. My daughters loved the large play space, the gardening which they could be heavily involved with, the woodwork was a real highlight and something they still talk of often. The staff are incredibly caring and really tune into each child's individual needs. Our youngest daughter created a bug hotel from idea and draft design to end product which really spiked her interest in creating things from scratch. What a special place Onehunga Kindergarten is, in a wonderful community.”

“Such an awesome kindergarten. From the experienced, knowledgable and caring teaching staff through to the expansive grounds, our kids have had an absolute ball. Highly recommended.”

“I can't sing the praises of Belmont Bayswater Kindy enough. The teachers understand and have a genuine interest in their student's wellbeing and development. The centre itself is completely set up for active, curious kids with different activities and equipment to engage your child. If Kindy hours can work for you, I'd completely recommend BBK.”

“Caring and supportive teachers and a lovely Enviro kindy”
