Welcome to Holyoake Kindergarten, a rural community kindergarten full of fun and laughter, excitement and discovery, exploration and learning.

Our attractive and spacious setting supports children's natural curiosity and love of the outdoors. Children at Holyoake are encouraged to develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and their environment. Together we plant, cultivate and harvest crops in our raised vegetable garden whilst learning about recycling and sustainability.

We understand each child is an individual possessing their own strengths and interests. Our curriculum is child driven and children are supported to become confident, competent learners able to make decisions and set challenges for themselves. Literacy and numeracy concepts are incorporated into spontaneous and planned activities to extend children's emerging interest in print and number.

Holyoake is a fun, warm and open kindergarten committed to meeting the needs of children, parents and whānau. We invite your participation in kindergarten life and look forward to meeting you and your child.
