Te Kainganui is exceptional!
We have been a TK family since 2011 and have had two children attend since they were both under 18 months old. TK is an exceptional centre, a real hidden gem - it is community based, not for profit and jointly run by a parent committee and the teachers. The environment is lovely and so central to Wellington CBD. The teachers are engaged, attentive, caring, energetic and wonderful. There is a great mix of both male and female teachers, and they are all highly experienced and work together as a team. They build strong connections with the children and I think have drawn out and nurtured talents in our children, such as art and dance, which may not otherwise have been so supported and recognised in another centre. TK really feels like an extension of a family community and we feel very lucky to be part of it.
Te kainga aroha - the loving home
Te Kainga Nui is very much as its name suggests - a big home - and one that is full of love. Our mokopuna has been going there for the last two years and adores it - the staff, his playmates and the activities and outings. Couldn't ask for more. Lovely to hear the staff speaking te reo too.
Amazing preschool
This is a very special place for children and their families to be part of. Feels like an extended family. Children are individually nurtured and the play/educational environment fostered creativity, curiosity, social awareness and empathy for others. The staff are incredibly skilled with all types of kids and personalities and take the time to get to know each one.
Awesome place
Both my sons have been to TK for their early childhood education, and so I have been regularly involved since 2011. I can't speak highly enough of the centre. I love the size of the roll (around 21 kids), the warmth and love that the staff show my children and their commitment to making the kids time there each day fun, educational and a great place to be. Both kids adore TK and the staff and I know they are safe and happy. The really low staff turnover is great as the kids get to build such great relationship....and it is very well priced!
Fantastic Center
My son loves it here, and I love the individual care and attention. His day is structured around his needs and allows flexibility. He loves the outdoor play space and is challenged to learn and grow.
