About us and our programme

Tōtara Puku Kindergarten offers 7.5 hours a day of education and care for children and families. We cater for babies from birth to school age-children, with hours and days to suit families.

We are on the grounds of Whanganui East school, and have strong links with the school, ensuring a smooth transition for children.

We develop strong relationships with our families and whānau, and we are well supported by the local community.
