Kindergarten in Auckland

“My son began his journey at Henderson Kindergarten when he was two years old. I was relieved to see the whole team support his transition to his new school. They communicated his needs well and regularly to us and we were able to provide consistent support to him in this adjustment period. After a couple of months we have seen how he has improved and thrived in his environment. He has gained his confidence to speak to his friends and teachers, he has gained friends whom he plays with regularly. He looks forward to going to kindergarten everyday. My son is happy and he enjoys his time learning alongside his peers and his teachers.”

“We have loved our time at Ponsonby Montessori and the teachers are all so lovely. Would highly recommend”

“The best decision we ever made. Nature is all the toys you need. Imagination sparks creativity. We have seen confidence increase and a greater awareness of self and so too increased sense of belonging. A Nature based classroom is the best school for anyone young and old. Amazing heartfelt teachers enhance the experience even more so”

“My girl loves it there super supportive loves going to kindy everyday”

“The nursery class attached to a private school for children aged 0-2 years old? The walls are high and mysterious, and you can't see inside. The privacy is very good. You have to wait in line to be admitted.”

“Our child has been at Fossil Bay Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten for over a year now, and is flourishing there in terms of developing social and leadership skills, creative and analyatical thinking, and listening and speaking skills to name just a few. The staff are very motivated, practical, attentive and most important of all, very compassionate and loving with the children.”

“Parakai Kindergarten is a place where you child feels safe, seen and gently encouraged to build their confidence. My son had spent the last 3 years there before turning five and moving to school. Even though he’s moving to school, and his teacher is going to be his mum he still wanted to stay at kindy where “he was so happy”. I feel that the teachers deep love and respect for their tamariki is illustrated in my son’s statement as he was so sad to leave his favourite place. Kindy isn’t just a space place for the children but a space for the whole family to be connected to the thriving community and culture that envelopes Parakai Kindergarten. As a mother and a teacher I could not recommend Parakai Kindy enough and only wish I had sent my older son there too.”

“This is absolutely the best kindergarten I can ever imagine for my daughter. From the very down to earth, top quality directors and staff, safe and beautiful environment, and extremely fair fees, here they have got everything any parent would hope for. Throughout all this time the staff have been so welcoming and caring. Most importantly It's amazing how they genuinely care for the kids and always encourage them to explore and play and develop their skills. So I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude towards the team Seven Stars for all these things. I can’t recommend this awesome center highly enough!!!”

“Welcoming and engaging staff. Lovely premises. The diverse cultures of the kids are great for young ones to experience. My 2 little ones look forward to school each day”

“Loving Care Kindergarten it is the best place for our kids, the teacher are so lovely, kind, caring and thoughtful person”

“My little toddler absolutely loves coming to Little Ranges daycare! She is THRIVING under their care. The attention and genuine love they give her everyday has transformed our little 1 year old and we are so so grateful we found them! A bit of a back story is we moved her from another daycare (one of the most well known ones in Henderson Heights) because I noticed she’s just not as happy as she used to be, it just wasn’t the right fit. So I was sooo pleased that ever since she started going to Little Ranges she has FLOURISHED! Love the team at little ranges thank you for loving our girl! If you are looking for a team who will truly be your partner in raising your child, look no further than Little ranges :) 10 star all the way!!”

“My son goes to this kindergarten and he loves it from the first day! Highly recommend. Teachers are well experienced, kids get one to one attention and teachers find the child's interest and support to bring best out of the children.”

“kids were superb. want one of my own one day. I took a very attractive photograph of me in front of a painting while I was there. Look at how scrumptious my face looks!”

“My son currently goes to this kindy and absolutely loves it! All the teachers here are fantastic and so supportive - they are the reason why this kindy is brilliant. I feel comfortable walking in and having a chat to any of the teachers. The programs are great - the kids even learn yoga on Tuesdays! This kindy celebrates all kinds of cultural festivals - Diwali, Chinese New Year & Matariki. There is always something going on. I really like the smaller number of children to teacher ratio and the community feel this kindy offers. My son has made some lovely friends and it's been great getting to know the parents. The new playground is super cool!”

“I cannot recommend Vintage Kids highly enough! Our family is heartbroken to leave as we are moving away, and I genuinely worry I’ll never find a kindy as wonderful as this one. The teachers are absolutely amazing, establishing real connections with each child, even the youngest ones. The philosophy at Vintage Kids truly stands out. They create a nurturing environment that feels like home, allowing children to learn through authentic experiences and meaningful friendships across different ages. The Playgarden is a fantastic feature, connecting kids with nature, and the nutritious homemade meals are incredible. We’ve loved the quarterly picnics where the kids showcase their learning, often through storytelling, which is a fantastic way to foster creativity and communication skills. My toddler loves going to kindy every day, which speaks volumes about the joy and engagement he experiences there. Vintage Kids lays a strong foundation for children’s growth, and we are so grateful for the time we've had there. Thank you, Vintage Kids, for everything!”

“I am Japanese. The teachers were very kind. There are also many playground equipment. My son really enjoyed it too. Thank you very much✨ Thank you so much.”

“We’ve been sending our 2 children here for more than 2 years now. They’re a wonderful and caring team of staff, striving to do their best to cater to the individual needs and interests of every child. Our kids are so excited to come home and share everything they’ve done in their days. We do however get a bit jealous of the near daily walk trip to feed the alpacas - how cute!”

“i went here when little and i say it is fun this is frank sublette”

“Highly recommended Kindergarten. Teachers there take care of kids very friendly and do many activities to bring out hidden talents.”

“We love Uplands Kindergarten! The teachers are so kind and caring. They take the time to get to know the kids and create a calm and fun environment and help the children get the best out of being at kindy. The teachers are great at helping the kids form friendships with other children if they need a little support. There's always interesting activities and outings organised to provide new experiences and learning opportunities. It's been a great Kindergarten for our daughter!”

“Such a wonderful kindy - lovely teachers and my daughter adores going!”

“An excellent Kindy with a good balance of play time and learning activities. Their Rising Stars program for older children is a fantastic way to get kids prepared for their starting school. Parent interaction and involvement is also at a really high standard.”

“We had to urgently put our daughter into daycare due to unforeseen circumstances. The Centre manager was super helpful and accommodating to us and helped to relieve a lot of our stress at the time. My daughter had a great time and made many friends. She loved all of the teachers and would have stories to tell us at the end of each day of fun things they did. We look forward to send our youngest when he’s a bit older to this great facility.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would!! Albany and Rangitoto Auckland kindergartens my son and daughter attended. My friend highly recommended to bring my kids here. The teachers at NAKA are STARS!! Super creative and really caring. They all are so passionate about teaching, learning and giving our kids the best start in life.”
