Petone Beach Kindergarten 20 King Street, Petone, Lower Hutt, Wellington 5012

Welcome to Petone Beach Kindergarten, located in Lower Hutt, King Street, 20. As an establishment and point of interest in New Zealand, we take pride in offering a unique seaside experience for our 30 daily attending children. Our kindergarten is a true reflection of the diverse ethnicities found in our wider Petone community.

At Petone Beach Kindergarten, our vision is centered around nurturing children, embracing Te Ao Maori (Maori worldview), and inspiring a learning community. We believe in working together to empower children and guide their curiosity and decision-making. As parents, we understand the importance of supporting you and connecting you with other parents in our community.

Just like the ebb and flow of the tides, we see our kindergarten as a place of renewal. Our whakatauki, a Maori proverb, symbolizes our commitment to honoring the past while embracing the present and planning for the future. We believe in making learning visible and regularly meet as a team to identify children's emerging learning and discuss opportunities and possibilities for individual and group growth.

At Petone Beach Kindergarten, we highly value children's contributions and celebrate their capabilities and curiosity. Our carefully planned environment encourages exploration and invites children to communicate and share their learning with each other in respectful ways.

We also welcome and encourage input from parents, whanau (extended family), and the wider community. We believe that your ideas and skills are valuable additions to our kindergarten community, and we strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels included.

Join us at Petone Beach Kindergarten, where the next generation is nurtured, and the old nets are replaced with new ones. Together, let's create a vibrant and inspiring learning environment for our children.
