Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association

Welcome to the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association - a vibrant, community-focused organization that has been dedicated to the growth and development of young minds since 1946. Nestled in the heart of Wellington, we are a beacon of Early Childhood Education, providing top-notch Kindergarten Services across our diverse network of kindergartens. Our journey began over seven decades ago, with a simple yet profound vision: to provide a nurturing environment where every child can grow, learn, and explore at their own pace. Today, we continue to honor this legacy, offering children the opportunity to experience a unique blend of structured learning and free play within our safe and stimulating environments. We pride ourselves on our culturally rich Pasifika Home-Based Service (Etu Ao), which fosters a deep understanding and appreciation for Pacific Island cultures. This program allows us to create a more inclusive, diverse, and enriching learning experience for all of our children. Beyond child care and education, we are deeply committed to supporting the wider community and our valued kindergarten partners. We offer a range of services aimed at enhancing the quality of early childhood education across Wellington, including professional development programs tailored to equip educators with the skills they need to inspire the next generation. At the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association, we believe that every child is capable of great things, and it's our responsibility to nurture their potential. By offering a rich tapestry of experiences, opportunities, and support, we are helping shape the leaders of tomorrow - one curious mind at a time. So join us on this incredible journey as we continue to grow, learn, and explore together in Wellington!
