Te Puke Kindergarten 5 Glen Terrace, Te Puke, Bay of Plenty 3119

Welcome to Te Puke Kindergarten, a cherished institution nestled in the heart of New Zealand. Located at Glen Terrace, 5 in Te Puke, our establishment is not just a school, but a point of interest where children can truly be themselves and learn through their own unique ways.

At Te Puke Kindergarten, we believe in creating an environment that feels like home. Our community is always welcome, and our whānau (extended family) are considered family forever. Most importantly, our tamariki (children) are treasured for who they are and the incredible qualities they bring with them.

With a rich history of over 50 years, Te Puke Kindergarten has been proudly serving the community. We hold the values of treasuring tamariki, fostering whanaungatanga (relationships), guiding our decisions with aroha (love), caring for both the land and the people with manākitanga, and nurturing children to become the best versions of themselves with rangatira (leadership) and rangatiratanga.

In our kindergarten, we believe that each child is a precious treasure to be nurtured, grown, and allowed to flourish. Our tamariki feel safe and loved in our warm and welcoming environment, which we have created with utmost care. We teach from our hearts, sharing our own uniqueness and celebrating the individuality of each child alongside our whānau.

At Te Puke Kindergarten, we hold true to the value of play. We honor children's ways of knowing, being, and doing, recognizing the immense importance of play in their development. As the saying goes, "He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata." What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people, it is the people, it is the people.

So come and join us at Te Puke Kindergarten, where children are treasured, relationships are valued, love guides our decisions, and leadership is nurtured. Together, let us create a vibrant and enriching environment where our tamariki can grow, learn, and flourish.
