Kindergarten in Auckland

“The best kindy! We absolutely love the teachers and the atmosphere. We looked at several daycares and have zero regrets choosing Harbour View. Highlights: there is real grass, an amazing outdoor area, a huge room full of puzzles, and caring teachers who really get to know your child. Our child is thriving and growing in so many ways. We cannot say enough good things - thank you for being the best home away from home.”

“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.”

“I rate Redhills kindergarten 5 stars because my child has learnt more then what I expected. Witnessing my childs growth over the years with Redhills kindy has been a pleasure and he definitely has the vocabulary, writing skills and the confidence to start primary next year. We love the teachers! but the head teacher can be a bit sour some days. Thank you very much Redhills kindy.”

“My boys have a home away from home at Pakuranga Baptist Kindergarten. Not only do they have fun and play and learn but their lives are also enriched with outside of the square thinking thanks to the teachers, what a fantastic idea 'Outdoor Explorer's' is, each week the kids get to go and explore the estuary and surrounding reserves to learn about their environment, wildlife, pollution and caring for their world. No wonder they have received such an impressive ERO review.”

“Two of my girls attended Howick Baptist Kindy and we absolutely loved the experience. We were always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I appreciated the integration of faith and learning, and my kids had so much fun while at the kindy. The other families whose kids attended HBK became close friends and have remained so. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone”

“A wonderful place with wonderful teachers who create fun & engaging experiences for the children.”

“Both of our children have attended PMK and we can't speak highly enough of the centre and our experience there. Without exception, the teachers are nurturing, kind and emotionally in-tune with the children. The small ratios allow for a personalised approach to learning where each child is closely observed to support their growth and natural interests. The teachers generously share their own cultures which has enriched the girls' experience and supported early learning of Te Reo Māori. A special mention of PMK's music programme led by Meryl Main which is exceptional and has brought us so much joy as a family. The centre itself has excellent resources and a fantastic outdoor area with natural grass and a veggie garden. We are very sad to say goodbye next week but our four-year-old is so ready for school - thank you PMK!”

“amazing team, amazing environment. :)”

“I've been in this kindergarten when I was a little kid and now I’m in college, but MAN this place has changed a lot and now my younger brother goes to school here”

“Such amazing people here, my kid loves it here. He gets excited to go to sleep just to go to little cubs the next day! Thank you for being so great to my kid.”

“Amazing Japanese kindy, the best in New Zealand.”

“Helensville Montessori creates a very special and enriching environment for all the tamariki. I am always extremely impressed with the teachers engagement and the extensive amount of resources available for different activities each day. My son loves attending and I appreciate all the hard work that has been put in to creating such a fantastic centre.”

“The best preschool we could have ever hoped for! Kumeu Montessori has been such a huge part of our lives — our daughter started here when she was just shy of a year old, and now, as she prepares to head off to school, we’re feeling so grateful for every moment she’s spent in their care. Even after we moved 30 minutes away, we never once considered changing preschools — that’s how much she loves it, and how much we trust the amazing team here. The teachers are beyond incredible — warm, nurturing, and so genuinely invested. They feel more like extended family than just teachers. Our daughter has absolutely thrived — emotionally, socially, and intellectually — and that’s thanks to the beautiful, calm, and inspiring environment they’ve created. If you’re looking for a daycare or preschool where your child will be truly seen, loved, and supported, I can’t recommend Kumeu Montessori highly enough. It’s such a special place and will always hold a huge place in our hearts.”

“I will strongly recommend Kingsway Preschool Silverdale. My son spent an amazing year here. They have excellent management and system and allow parents to know everything from school in time. All teachers are patient, creative and always have smiles on their faces. Thanks for everything. :)”

“I am a speech and feeding therapist and have seen children at Red Beach ELC. I have been so impressed by the teachers and the environment. The children are happy and confident; the environment is calm and nurturing. The teachers went above and beyond to support my strategies, and made me feel so welcome. Their support helped my client make wonderful progress. I am so grateful to you all!”

“The teachers at Busy Minds are truly brilliant – they pay close attention to each and every child, ensuring their individual needs are met with care and understanding. As parents, we always felt supported and confident in the care our daughter was receiving. Over the past two years, we’ve watched her grow into a confident, happy little girl, and so much of that is thanks to the nurturing environment and wonderful team at Busy Minds. We’re truly grateful for everything they’ve done and highly recommend to any family looking for a caring and attentive early childhood centre.”

“We absolutely love HH! Both of my kids are flourishing in such a supportive and engaging environment. The staff are incredibly caring, and they make learning fun and exciting. I’m grateful for the strong foundation my children are receiving here!”

“The Teachers are all very caring and focus on each childs individual development and work with parents to achieve their aspirations for their children. It is a home away from home for my daughter and I can confidently drop my daughter off in the morning and know that she is well looked after. The centre and teachers are very good with communicating with the parents which is very important.”
