Kia ora and welcome to Mt Eden Kindergarten

Nau Mai, Haere Mai, Welcome to Mt Eden Kindergarten.

At Mt Eden Kindergarten we believe in creating a friendly, inclusive and caring culture in which everyone is respected and valued. We support learning through child-initiated free play and our fantastic, extensive outdoor space provides children with numerous opportunities to explore, challenge themselves and engage in active movement and imaginative play.

We welcome, celebrate and value all cultures and we encourage and support, parents/whānau to become involved in their children’s learning and to contribute to our programme. We have built strong links to our local schools and the wider community.

We are proud to be an Enviroschool kindergarten. We share a passion for nature and we want to instil an appreciation and understanding of responsible and sustainable environmental practices for our tamariki, their parents/whanau and ourselves as teachers.

Our kaiako are skilled in implementing the Incredible Years Teacher Programme which supports young children with self-regulation and their social, emotional and academic competence.

Our teachers are all qualified early childhood educators and hold teacher registrations as well as first aid certificates. Everyone on our team is dedicated to providing Mt Eden’s tamariki with the very best in early childhood education. We invite you to spend some time with us, to meet our team and experience our kindergarten in action.

  • FROM OUR ERO REPORT

    Children's social and emotional competence is well supported through strongly nurturing relationships. Children experience a rich child-centred programme based on Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. They access learning resources that promote wonder, curiosity and discovery within an integrated programme that features literacy, numeracy, science and the arts.
