Community Description

Brockville kindergarten is nestled in the heart of the community, adjacent to Brockville School in a sunny north-facing spot with great city views. It’s a 10-minute drive to the city. It is a place where mokopuna and whānau are welcomed by an experienced teaching team including a teacher aide.

Our focus on well-being is supported by our involvement with KidsCan, which provides all the meals at kindergarten for mokopuna as well giving each mokopuna a beautiful warm jacket, shoes and warm socks.  Mokopuna flourish in an environment with a programme reflecting social competency, sustainablity/kaitiakitanga and daily kapa haka.

Children attend kindergarten 8.30am – 2.30pm Monday to Friday and currently the kindergarten closes for term breaks.
