Kidsfirst Hawthornden is a wonder Kindergarten. It has a large outdoor area with a mix of modern and traditional play equipment for the children.
The community at the kindergarten is strong, with many activities throughout the year which help bring whanau into the Centre and builds connection.
My two children have both enjoyed their time at Hawthornden and I feel very happy to leave them their under the kind and capable care of the teachers. Highly recommend.

The BEST kindy you will ever find!!!!! I have had 4 children come to this kindergarten and it is the most beautiful nurturing kindy you will EVER find!!!!! The teachers are so incredibly welcoming and it honestly feels like our extended family!!!! The outdoor space is the biggest and there is so much for children to get involved with!!! We will be so incredibly sad when our last baby leaves. This kindergarten is home!!!
