Our Vision Statement 
Our whānau work together to unfold the potential and uniqueness of each learner, through valuing whānaungatanga, empowering mana and encouraging aotūroa.
 




Richmond Kindergarten is a family friendly kindergarten which offers flexible enrolments to meet children’s individual needs.

The Kindergarten is located in the heart of Richmond and has positive relationships with all the local primary schools in the area.

Richmond Kindergarten is well resourced, with a strong focus on sensory motor development and fostering the needs of individual children.

The programme celebrates diversity by incorporating sign language and te reo.


Music and Movement plays an important part in our everyday curriculum.

 Kindergarten is often children's first experience of being away from their whaanau for an extended period.
Our teachers encourage children to develop:
  • Independence (self management)
  • The skills to foster friendships
  • And strengthen motor skills
  • The ability to understand their place in the wider world
  • The skills to cope with change
  • ​The confidence to try new things
  • The ability to persist at a task

These could include:
  • Number and letter recognition
  • Oral and listening skills
  • Physical challenges
  • Resilience and a positive attitude towards learning

Children and families are welcome to visit us anytime.
Come and see how awesome our kindergarten is.
