the joy of teaching, the love of learning |
Welcome To Bette Christie Kindergarten
Our kindergarten is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within a 1 kilometre radius of 4 primary schools making us accessible for many families. We pride ourselves on the positive learning environment we provide for our children and families. Children are supported through a well-resourced programme which promotes creativity and independence. We are highly respectful of the important role each child’s whânau plays in their learning.
We offer an extended year service, which means we are open for up to 50 weeks per annum and we are open for up to 7.5 hours per day.

Our Favourite 2016 ERO Comment:
The kindergarten philosophy reflects a strong focus on empowering children, and whānau participation in early childhood education and care. Children confidently lead their learning and communicate with staff. A calm and nurturing tone encourages them to make choices and explore individual interests. The curriculum increasingly supports both younger and older children's learning.
Teachers have immersed themselves in the bicultural curriculum over the past 18 months to support success for Māori. Teachers work closely with whānau to achievement a strong sense of whanaungatanga. The head teacher and teachers have revitalised relationships with local whānau and families. Children enjoy responsive teaching practices that celebrate their language, culture and identity. Teachers continue to grow their knowledge and practices in this key area.

Testimonial:
"We are proud parents of 2 lovely daughters attending Bette Christie kindergarten, it took us awhile to find the right place for our children but when meeting with the teachers we knew this was the place. We have had the honor not only knowing our children are in a safe and caring environment but getting to know the teachers, children and parents has been rewarding. There is much respect for all children who attend and ourselves, we see it as a great learning place for our girls." M.N Parent
