Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association

Nestled in the heart of Wellington, the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association (WRFKA) is a vibrant hub of early childhood education, passionately committed to providing exceptional care and learning experiences for young minds. Established over five decades ago, we've been part of this community, growing with families and children, fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Our story began as a small group of passionate educators dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where every child could thrive. Today, we are a diverse family of kindergartens, home-based services, and community initiatives, all united by our shared vision: to empower every child in our care with the tools they need to explore, grow, and succeed. Our Pasifika Home-Based Service, Etu Ao in Porirua, is a special corner where we celebrate Pacific culture and traditions, offering children an enriching environment that reflects their heritage while nurturing their future. Supporting our kindergartens across the region, we ensure they are well-equipped to provide high-quality education that's tailored to each child's unique needs and interests. Our team is our greatest asset. Qualified teachers, caregivers, and support staff bring a wealth of experience, creativity, and dedication to their work. They're not just educators; they are nurturers, mentors, and friends, working tirelessly to create an environment where every child feels valued, inspired, and ready to learn. At the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association, we believe that every child is a unique individual with their own strengths, talents, and potential. Our role is not just to teach, but to help each child discover who they are and what makes them shine. Join us on this incredible journey of learning, growth, and friendship as we shape the future leaders of our community, one smile, one adventure at a time.
