Owhiro Bay Kindergarten 96 Happy Valley Road, Ōwhiro Bay, Wellington 6023

Welcome to Owhiro Bay Kindergarten, located in the beautiful city of Wellington, New Zealand. Our kindergarten is uniquely situated on the grounds of Owhiro Bay School, creating a cohesive and collaborative learning community for children and families alike.

Our purpose-built building allows us to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for children aged 6 months to 5 years. With low numbers in our Tipu (under 2) area, our dedicated teachers are able to offer personalized care and attention, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our youngest learners. We believe in allowing infants to develop at their own pace, granting them the time, freedom of movement, and space they need to thrive.

In our Puawai (over 2) area, our passionate teachers stimulate and support children's learning, encouraging them to become active explorers of their environment. Through individual and group activities, children are given the opportunity to participate and learn alongside their peers, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

At Owhiro Bay Kindergarten, our child-driven program is strongly supported by our environment. We are fortunate to have close links to the school, the community gardens, and the beach, which we celebrate and incorporate into our curriculum. By connecting children with nature, we aim to deepen their learning experiences and instill a lasting sense of place. Our respect for nature is an integral part of our bi-cultural program, which embraces and celebrates the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand.

We invite you to join our learning community at Owhiro Bay Kindergarten, where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in a supportive and nurturing environment. Contact us today to learn more about our program and to schedule a visit.
