Just the best early childhood learning experience. We have been to a few daycares and kindergartens and Tuakau Kindergarten is a rare hidden gem. Apart from the Nature Discovery programme, the kindergarten itself has great outdoors areas, the teachers are always setting up super engaging activities like making recycled paper, sewing, making a playhouse and the list goes on. Always a cool display of live tadpoles or caterpillars to learn about metamorphosis or even recently eggs incubating to chicks!

What makes this place even more special though are the teachers. They have a great culture and it really trickles down to how the children are cared for. The energy is always calm and peaceful.

We feel very lucky that our kids get to experience this. My son who is now school age still gets excited to come for a visit. I personally also find it hard to leave in the at drop offs 🤣

Wonderful kindy, teachers are attentive, warm and approachable, with lovely welcoming setup.

My son has been attending for 5 months and he is loving it.

He enjoys getting out in the nature discovery program they have on two days a week, giving him time to play and get messy in the farm/forest.

The community projects they have are pretty awesome for the tamariki to be a part of.

Highly recommend.

Absolutely the most incredible environment for any child to spend their pre school years. My children have thrived at Tuakau Kindergarten. The teachers are all wonderful people who have created such a warm, welcoming and happy environment.
