We are delighted to welcome you and your child to Taradale East Kindergarten, where every child is encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in a nurturing and inclusive environment.

At Taradale East, we believe that early childhood is a vital time for developing a lifelong love of learning. Our passionate and experienced teaching team works in close partnership with families to support each child’s unique journey, fostering their confidence, creativity, and well-being.

Our kindergarten is part of the wider Napier Kindergarten Association, which upholds strong values of respect, collaboration, and quality education. We proudly reflect the rich cultural diversity of our community, incorporating Te Whāriki — the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum — to guide our teaching and learning.

Children at Taradale East Kindergarten enjoy a spacious, nature-rich outdoor environment, and thoughtfully designed learning areas that promote play, exploration, and meaningful discovery. We value the importance of building strong relationships with both tamariki and their whānau, and we welcome you to be involved in your child’s learning journey every step of the way.

We look forward to getting to know you and your whānau, and to creating lasting memories together in these early and important years.

Ngā mihi nui,
The Taradale East Kindergarten Team
