### null review (5/5)

Our children thrived in this Kindergarten it is all heart. It provided enough structure to prepare them for school but equally the freedom to explore, be creative and grow. The playground is a magical space - tree climbing, adobe brick play house, massive sandpit, vegetable garden and worm farms. The kids learn to care for the environment as part of the programme.  Katikati Kindergarten helped us meet others when we moved here and both we and the children developed lasting friendships here.  It's a Not-for-profit which shows as what if good for children comes first.

There is so much we love about Katikati Kindergarten! What matters most to our family, is the fact that the teachers here provide a very high standard of care and learning through play.

This is hands down the BEST ECE centre I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. And I'm incredibly fussy when it comes to ECE!
The whole environment - from the organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees, native plants, beautiful trees, adobe brick hobbit house, wooden toys, the gentle rhythm to each day, the love and care which is shown to all children... I am so happy to be a Katikati Kindy Mum.  My son is thriving xxxx
