Everyday is an adventure at Kiwi Kids

At Kiwi Kids, we believe every child is bursting with potential, imagination, and a unique spark. Nestled in the heart of Takapuna on Anzac Street, our vibrant preschool is a place where young minds are free to play, learn, and grow in a nurturing and energetic environment built just for them.

Here at Kiwi Kids, every day is a new opportunity for discovery. Whether it's creative arts, music and movement, outdoor adventures, or storytelling sessions that bring imaginations to life, our programs are thoughtfully designed to make learning fun, engaging, and meaningful.

Our passionate team of educators takes the time to understand each child, offering personalised care and guidance that supports their individual journey. We value not only academic growth, but also social development, emotional wellbeing, and the confidence that comes from feeling truly seen and supported.

With a play-based, mainstream curriculum that caters to all learning styles, we empower every child to thrive at their own pace and in their own way.

Come be a part of the Kiwi Kids whānau, where childhood is celebrated and every little learner is encouraged to shine. Enrol today and let your child’s journey begin!
