Hataitai Kindergarten

Hataitai Kindergarten is a well-resourced and established kindergarten in central Hataitai near the shopping centre. We have very supportive parents who are interested in their children’s learning and development and are actively involved. We have strong community links, with most children attending from the local area and generally attend Hataitai or Kilbirnie Schools.

The team works closely with nearby Matairangi Kindergarten which caters for younger children who often move on to Hataitai. Teachers are passionate about extending children’s learning and creating exciting experiences for them. The playground is spread over three levels which supports children to explore, be physical, and develop their social skills and imaginative play ideas. Children are actively encouraged to care for the kindergarten environment.

Our kindergarten needs to be safe for all children, especially those with allergies. It is important to note that we are a nut free Kindergarten. At times other foods may be excluded as well.

The kindergarten is led by an experienced Head Teacher. All five teachers are 100% qualified and fully registered with degrees in early childhood education. Our team has a blend and balance of life experiences, skills, and personalities. We have an administrator/teacher’s aide who supports the teachers for 16 hours a week.
