At Bucklands Beach Kindergarten, we believe in the confident, competent child, and value the uniqueness and individuality that each child and his or her family/whanau bring to our centre. We believe that learning is for life and life is for learning, and through play, children are given opportunities to develop their skills, strengths and confidence.

The environment is important to us at Bucklands Beach Kindergarten. We take special pride in our outdoor area which features a native garden, rich in plant life, and a child friendly climbing/construction area where children can freely play and explore.

Our rich and stimulating environment empowers children to be competent and inquisitive learners, who drive their own learning, and take an active role in the programme. Visitors to our kindergarten often comment on the children’s calmess and focus on the programme.
