Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Wellington, the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association has been a cherished beacon of early childhood education for over seven decades. We are more than just a kindergarten; we're a community of passionate educators, nurturing young minds and fostering growth in a warm, inclusive environment. Our story began in 1948 when a group of forward-thinking individuals came together with a shared vision - to provide quality early childhood education for all children, regardless of their background or circumstances. Since then, we have grown and adapted, always striving to meet the needs of our diverse community. Today, we offer free kindergarten programs for children aged 2-5 years old, nurturing their curiosity, creativity, and confidence in a safe and stimulating environment. We are proud to be a Pasifika home-based early childhood education provider, offering a unique cultural perspective that enriches our learning community. Our dedicated team of educators work tirelessly to create individualized learning plans for each child, ensuring their needs are met with care and compassion. We believe in the power of play, using it as a tool to ignite curiosity and foster a love of learning. We understand that every child is unique, and some may require additional support. That's why we offer specialized services for children with special learning needs, ensuring they have the same opportunities to grow and thrive as their peers. We work closely with community services to provide comprehensive care and ensure all our children reach their full potential. As an umbrella/resource body for kindergartens, we provide support and guidance to over 100 kindergarten services across the region. We believe in the power of collaboration and strive to create a supportive network where ideas are shared, challenges are addressed, and best practices are celebrated. At the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association, we're not just educators; we're partners in your child's journey. We invite you to join us as we continue our mission of providing quality early childhood education for all children, empowering them to reach their full potential and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Welcome to our community - a place where every child matters, and every voice is heard.
