About Us and Our Programme

Matariki Kindergarten is nestled against the background of Wallaceville Hill across the road from Wallaceville Estates. We provide the community with a Whānau based, full-day mixed age kindergarten, for children from birth to five. (40 over 2 year olds and 5 under 2 year olds)

 

Our kindergarten philosophy and programme is designed to meet the needs of individual children. We are the only Kindergarten in Upper Hutt that provides all day education and care and we are open during the school holidays.

 

We have a strong community feel, and enjoy our whānau nights each term. These provide a chance for our families and extended whānau to come together and celebrate.
