Testimonial:

We are beyond grateful for the incredible experience our daughter has had at Te Awanga Kindy. From the moment she stepped through the doors, it was evident that this was more than just a kindy—it was a nurturing haven where children thrive and grow in a loving environment.
The care and attention given by the teachers are unparalleled. They are teachers and so much more, completely engaged and invested in every aspect of the children's lives. Their dedication ensures that each child feels seen, heard, and valued every step of the way.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Te Awanga Kindy is the endless array of activities and learning experiences. Every week brings a new adventure, and it's always exciting to see what the children will be exploring next. Whether it's diving into science experiments, unleashing creativity through arts and crafts, or discovering the wonders of nature in the fantastic outdoor facilities, there's never a dull moment.
The outdoor facilities are great. With beautiful shade protections and ample shady spots, even the hottest days are enjoyable for the children. The expansive outdoor space provides the perfect backdrop for exploration, play, and learning, and I love seeing how much joy it brings to the kids. The playhouse, swings, climbing frames, huge sandpit and groaning vegetable garden - kids paradise!
Te Awanga Kindy's sense of community and warmth permeates every corner. It's not just a place of education; it's a home away from home where children feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to be their best selves.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have Te Awanga Kindy and its outstanding team as part of our community. It's more than just a kindy—it's a place where our daughter has thrived, made lifelong memories, and laid the foundation for a bright future. Thank you, Te Awanga Kindy, for being such a special place for children to play, learn, and develop. We are truly grateful.
