About the Business
Welcome to Papamoa Kindergarten, located on Doncaster Drive in Papamoa, New Zealand. Situated right next door to Te Akau ki Pāpāmoa Primary School, our kindergarten offers a beautiful outdoor environment where children can flourish and connect with nature.
At Papamoa Kindergarten, we are deeply committed to Education for Sustainability (EfS), and it is a key focus of our program to develop children's knowledge and understanding of caring for the environment. In fact, we are proud to say that we were one of the first kindergartens in New Zealand to achieve the esteemed Green-Gold EnviroSchools status, reflecting our passion and dedication to EfS.
Our kindergarten philosophy, which was developed in consultation with our whānau (family), is built upon six foundational posts. These posts, including whanaungatanga (relationships), ako (teaching and learning), wairuatanga (spirituality), manakitanga (kindness and generosity), rangatiratanga (leadership), and social justice, embody the very essence of our institution.
With a highly experienced teaching team, we place a strong emphasis on providing an authentic and inclusive learning program that caters to the diverse needs and interests of all our children. We strive to build their learning power and support them in becoming better learners, as we believe that understanding how they learn and exercising their learning muscles is essential for them to become confident and competent lifelong learners in the 21st century.
Our focus on relationships and developing a sense of belonging is paramount, and we have a close relationship with our neighboring school. We also offer a robust transition to school program, ensuring a smooth and successful transition for our children. In addition, our community is diverse and multicultural, fostering an environment of acceptance and celebration of different cultures.
At Papamoa Kindergarten, you will find a friendly and qualified team who are passionate about teaching and learning. We are dedicated to providing an exceptional educational experience for your child.
Come and explore our stunning outdoor natural environment, where your child can thrive, learn, and develop a deep connection with nature. Visit us at Papamoa Kindergarten, where education, sustainability, and a love for the environment come together to shape the future of our tamariki/children.

"We love Papamoa Kindergarten. The teachers are amazing! So caring and welcoming and they do a fantastic job of teaching, encouraging and engaging the kids in their interests and a very wide range of subjects. The set up and play areas are wonderful too with lots of trees and bushes and grass areas. There is a strong focus on the environment and looking after it...with fruit and veges growing, chickens, a worm farm and recycling etc. My son loves going to kindy and my daughter cant wait to join him there. I really cant say enough about it and recommend you pop in for a visit."
"Amazing amazing amazing kindy. My daughter went to Papamoa Kindergarten for just over 2 years. At the start she was so anxious but the teaching team went above and beyond to help her settle in. Now that she started school they are still supporting her to make the transition into Primary School easy. A HUGE thank you again to the awesome team for not only supporting my little girl but also at times supported me. You ladies are the best."
