Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Wellington, the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association (WRFKA) is a beacon of warmth, love, and learning for countless little minds. Established with a vision to foster an environment where children can flourish, we have been a cornerstone of early childhood education in our community for many years. Our association encompasses a wide array of kindergartens spread across the Wellington region, each offering unique, tailored experiences that cater to the diverse needs of our tamariki (children). We take pride in our Pasifika Home-Based Service (Etu Ao), which provides nurturing care within the comfort of families' homes. This service celebrates Pacific cultures and fosters a strong sense of identity while ensuring each child receives the highest quality education. At WRFKA, we believe in the power of play as a tool for learning. Our kindergartens offer engaging activities designed to stimulate curiosity, foster creativity, and nurture emotional growth. We work hand-in-hand with parents and whānau (extended family), creating a strong support network that encourages every child to reach their full potential. We are committed to the ongoing professional development of our dedicated team. Our educators undergo regular training, ensuring they stay abreast of the latest research and methodologies in early childhood education. This focus on continuous learning ensures we provide the best possible care for your precious little ones. Beyond childcare and education, we are deeply invested in our community. We collaborate with local organizations to create opportunities for our tamariki to engage with their surroundings, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. Whether it's a visit to the botanic gardens or participating in a neighborhood event, our children have ample opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. In essence, we are more than just a childcare provider; we are a family. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey of learning, love, and discovery. Together, we can help shape the future of Wellington's children, one smile at a time.
