About us and our programme

At Lansdowne Kindergarten we emphasise fun. We promote care and respect for each other and our environment. We offer inclusive, accessible education to diverse learners and respect all religious beliefs. Children are involved in the flower and vegetable gardens, planting, caring for plants, and harvesting.

Our teachers foster children's wellbeing and interests through partnerships with parents and whānau. Literacy and numeracy are woven through the curriculum.

We promote New Zealand's bi-cultural heritage and visit our local Marae.

We have a special relationship with Kandahar Rest Home. We also have a close connection with Pukaha Mount Bruce, where we have an adopted kiwi and sponsor a hectare.

We hold an annual bike-a-thon as a social fundraising event for our families.

We use the secure online service, Storypark, which allows family near and far to view and comment on their child’s learning stories. The online community forum provides news, events and reminders, keeping our families well informed.
