### null review (5/5)

My Son, loves his kindy and so do we. He especially loves his Kaiako and Jo being his favorite (no offense ladies) 🤭. It is peace of mind knowing that my son is well looked after and they know him so well. We as whanau are well informed on everything, through fb post, verbal communication, story park or via txt messages. The level of learning is high as my son has learnt a karakia that he has happily shared with us and taught us, which in turn has built up his confidence. I could write a novel about how much we love Putauaki Kindergarten, but actions speak louder then words. So go in and meet everyone for yourself. ✨️🌈🙌🫶

Pūtauaki Kindy is absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we felt like part of a big, loving whānau. The kaiako are so kind, patient, and genuinely care about every child. You can really feel the aroha in everything they do — it's such a nurturing and inspiring environment. Our son has grown so much in confidence and creativity thanks to their support. We’re so grateful to be part of this beautiful community. Ngā mihi nui to the whole team at Pūtauaki!

Pūtauaki is a welcoming environment where tamariki have the opportunity to learn through play. A place where the team works in partnership with whānau, taking a collaborative approach that places tamariki at the center of everything we do.
