Sturges Road Kindergarten

At Sturges Road Kindergarten we value our whole learning community for their contribution, skills and knowledge. We believe in building strong relationships, encouraging whānau to be part of their child’s learning journey and celebrating cultural diversity. We are located next to Western Heights Primary School and are continually developing our shared partnership with the junior school.
