We recommend the child visits with you 3 times before starting. As every child is different, it may take more visits or less. Visits are a good chance for you to get to know the teachers and the routine of the kindy.
Kereru Kindy is a full service childcare centre as well as an early childhood education centre, licensed by the Ministry of Education. This means that we provide childcare from 8.00am to 4.00pm weekdays. We also provide a quality learning experience for those children in our care. Parents can choose to enrol their children for a whole day, a morning or afternoon session, or a kindy (9-3) day.
We recommend enrolling as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Siblings get priority in the enrolment process.
