About the Business
Welcome to Sturges Road Kindergarten, located in Auckland, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and inclusive learning environment for children.
At Sturges Road Kindergarten, we believe that relationships are at the core of our teaching philosophy. We strive to create an environment where real and relevant connections are established and maintained, fostering strong and trusting relationships. Our goal is to provide a place where children and their families feel a sense of belonging and are able to contribute their knowledge, expertise, experiences, and cultures to our kindergarten community.
We are proud to be a culturally diverse kindergarten and love to celebrate our various cultures. Our whānau/families and children/tamariki come together to enjoy special events and share in the richness of our diverse backgrounds.
Our Zen Zone is a peaceful and soothing area where children can relax and find calmness. We start our mornings with warm fruit tea, providing children with a sense of tranquility. Our loose parts resources offer open-ended learning opportunities, sparking children's imagination and creativity.
The environment at Sturges Road Kindergarten is considered the third teacher. We have carefully curated a wide range of resources and experiences that value and respect children's thoughts, feelings, and working theories. Our learning spaces are responsive to children's development, allowing them to challenge themselves safely through risky play, enhancing their lifelong learning skills.
We also encourage children to be kaitiaki/guardians of our kindergarten environment, fostering a connection with Papatunuku (Mother Earth) and nature. Children enjoy tending to our vegetable garden, learning about sustainability, and harvesting fresh produce.
In addition, we offer a unique Bush Kindy experience at neighboring Western Heights Primary. This outdoor learning opportunity allows children to develop confidence, explore nature, and indulge their imagination. They are encouraged to push their boundaries, take risks, and immerse themselves in the wonders of the natural world.
Promoting healthy lifestyles is important to us, and we have been awarded the Heart Foundation Pā Harakeke award for creating an environment that promotes healthy eating and physical activity. We believe that healthy bodies lead to healthy minds.
Our strong relationship with Western Heights Primary supports children's transition to school. We attend their weekly junior Jump Jam sessions and participate in other celebrations and events throughout the year. This connection helps ensure a smooth and positive transition for our tamariki.
We invite you to visit Sturges Road Kindergarten and experience the magic firsthand. Our dedicated teachers have positive, sensitive, and responsive relationships with children and their whānau/families. We provide a programme that values and celebrates children's home cultures, fostering a strong sense of belonging and empowering children to explore resources and make choices about their play.
Our kindergarten hours are from Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 3.30pm, and our office hours are from Monday to Friday, 8am to 4.45pm. Please note that we are closed during term breaks and public holidays.
