At Edgecumbe Kindergarten we embrace current education theory and believe that building strong reciprocal relationships between tamariki, their whānau and kaiako is the key to successful kindergarten learning.

We view all tamariki as competent, confident, capable and unique learners and encourage them to become problem solvers, risk takers and innovative thinkers. We have a clear focus on inclusion and celebrate diversity in age, ability and culture.

Our ‘secret garden’ is a quiet place where tamariki can spend time in small groups learning about sustainability and caring for our outdoor environment. This learning will help support your tamariki to develop understanding of kaitiakitanga and their responsibility as guardians of their wider environment in the future.

We welcome you to visit our kindergarten any time, we'd love to show you around.
