Wycliffe Nga Tamariki kindergarten is situated in Onekawa, Napier. We take great pride in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere where tamariki feel safe, secure, and celebrated for who they are. Embracing each child’s differences, we support their individual learning needs while fostering a strong sense of belonging.
We are open 50 weeks of the year, providing flexible and consistent care for our families. Through the KidsCan programme, we provide nutritious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea to ensure tamariki have the energy they need for a day full of learning and play. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive learning environment where every child is supported to reach their learning potential. Te reo Māori and tikanga are woven into our daily practices to honour and uplift the unique heritage of Aotearoa.
Vision and Philosophy
Wycliffe Nga Tamariki is a calm, predictable, empowering environment for tamariki to play and learn. Kaiako fully engage with tamariki in a safe, respectful way of being. Nurturing the child and supporting the child’s social and emotional needs.
