Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association

Welcome to Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association (WRFKA), a beacon of early childhood education nestled in the vibrant heart of Wellington. Established over four decades ago, our association has grown organically, guided by the shared passion for nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. At WRFKA, we're more than just a childcare provider; we're a community of educators, families, and children, united in our commitment to providing the very best kindergarten services. We believe in the power of early childhood education, and through our implementation of Te Whāriki – New Zealand's early childhood curriculum – we create an environment where every child can thrive. Our team of dedicated teachers are not just caregivers; they are mentors, role models, and friends, supporting each child's unique journey of discovery and learning. We place a strong emphasis on teacher support and professional development, ensuring our team is always equipped with the latest tools and techniques to inspire and guide our young learners effectively. We pride ourselves on being a Pasifika-focused organization, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of our Pacific Island communities and incorporating these traditions into our daily routines and learning activities. We also offer home-based services for families who prefer this setting, ensuring that every child receives the best possible start in life, no matter where they are. But we're not just about academics – we're about creating well-rounded individuals who understand the importance of community service. Through a variety of extra-curricular activities and partnerships with local organizations, our children learn the value of giving back and making a positive impact on their world. So, whether you're looking for a nurturing environment for your child or a fulfilling career in early childhood education, Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association is here to support you every step of the way. Come join our family – where learning, laughter, and lifelong friendships flourish!
