We have had our 3 boys come through Onehunga kindy. It has been an amazing experience for them.
The teachers care deeply for the kids and built strong connections with them. It was awesome to see them drawing out their interests and helping them develop. There has been several long standing teachers that we have had the privilege of teaching all our boys over 8 years.
The kindy itself has a great outdoors area with heaps of established trees and room for the kids to roam.
The kindy teachers build strong connections with the families of the kids and it felt like a bit of a hub for the community, and a real sense of belonging for us and our boys. It’s been great to see our kids easily transition to the local school with their friends from the kindy.

Onehunga Kindergarten has been an amazing place for our son. The teachers are incredibly caring and dedicated, providing a nurturing and fun learning environment. Our son loves coming to kindergarten and has made great progress socially and academically since starting.

The play-based curriculum encourages creativity and problem-solving, and the outdoor space is perfect for kids to explore and connect with nature. The kindergarten also fosters a strong sense of community, with plenty of opportunities for parents to get involved.

The staff truly care about each child’s development, helping them feel safe, confident, and supported. We’re so happy we chose Onehunga Kindergarten and highly recommend it to other families looking for a warm, welcoming place for their child to learn and grow.

I have nothing but positive comments about Onehunga Kindergarten.  It is such a wonderful, nurturing environment for children to explore and grow.  My daughters loved the large play space, the gardening which they could be heavily involved with, the woodwork was a real highlight and something they still talk of often.  The staff are incredibly caring and really tune into each child's individual needs. Our youngest daughter created a bug hotel from idea and draft design to end product which really spiked her interest in creating things from scratch. What a special place Onehunga Kindergarten is, in a wonderful community.
