Better Because

There are so many ways Kindergarten is Better Because

Caring, professional teachers, our legendary Big Backyards and more make kindy Better Because.

There are so many reasons to choose kindergarten – and Kidsfirst – for your child’s first steps into formal education. Translated from its German origins, kindergarten means ‘children’s garden’, and one of the differences you’ll notice when you visit one of our centres is our epic Big Backyards. They’re tailor-made for exploration, learning, fun and nurturing budding kaitiaki.

Kidsfirst’s fully qualified, registered teachers guide children to learn through play and get ready for school and life at their own pace, in their own time.

Kidsfirst has been at the heart of communities for more than 100 years, and is so well-loved, that multiple generations of whānau choose us over and over again. Our kaiako really get to know families and tamariki, and see every child as an individual.

We’re committed to making quality kindergarten education accessible to as many children as possible – even two year olds get 20 hours free at Kidsfirst, and many of our kindergartens have special fees offers.
