Ōwairaka Kindergarten
Ōwairaka Kindergarten is set in a large leafy garden, down a long driveway back from the road. The kindergarten’s beautiful, large garden has mature trees that give lovely shade in summer. Tamariki love to explore our inviting and interactive outdoor play area. There are plenty of natural areas where children can learn, run, climb, explore, and develop their own interests and physical skills. A place for tamariki and whānau connections to other families in the community. These friendships make transitioning to school much easier and Ōwairaka District School can be found right next door.
20 hours of free ECE for all children.
