Kia ora, and welcome to Kidsfirst’s te ao kindy.
Our Canterbury, West Coast and Central Otago kindergartens are magical spaces where tamariki learn, play and make friends that can last a lifetime. They are also special places where families come together and cultures connect.
Some preschools call themselves ‘kindergartens’ or ‘kindys’, but with 100 years of proud history and a grounding in the original kindergarten philosophy, we are the real thing. Find out more about kindergarten and you’ll see the difference.
The information on these pages is relevant to all our kindergartens, so if you have a question specific to a kindergarten, be sure to get in touch with them.
