Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association

In the heart of Wellington, where vibrant culture intertwines with a deep commitment to nurturing young minds, stands the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association. Established with a vision to provide exceptional early childhood education, we have been a trusted beacon for families in our community for years. Our story begins with a simple belief: every child deserves an enriching educational experience that sets them on a path towards lifelong learning and personal growth. We proudly offer free education for children over three, providing 20 hours of all-day care and education each week. This commitment to accessibility reflects our dedication to fostering opportunities for all, regardless of circumstances. At our community-based kindergartens, we create a warm, supportive environment where each child can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. Our dedicated team of educators is passionate about early childhood education and works tirelessly to design engaging, age-appropriate activities that ignite curiosity and foster a love for learning. We are more than just a kindergarten; we are a family. We cherish the diversity of our community and are proud to offer Pasifika-focused home-based services through Etu Ao. This unique program celebrates and nurtures the rich cultural heritage of the Pacific Islands, ensuring our Pasifika children feel a strong sense of belonging and pride in their roots. In addition, we extend our support to children with additional learning needs, offering individualized care and attention to help them reach their full potential. We believe that every child is unique, and it is our privilege to help them bloom into confident, capable individuals. As a member of the Wellington community, we are deeply connected to the city's heartbeat. We strive to make a positive impact in the lives of our children and their families, creating memories that last a lifetime. Join us on this incredible journey as we shape the future leaders of tomorrow, one smile, one laugh, and one moment at a time. Welcome to the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association – where every child matters, and every story begins.
