Affordable, quality early childhood education

Kindergarten is where a lifetime of learning begins. It is the place where interests are sparked, friendships are forged, and a sense of independence and adventure is fostered.

At Hutt City Kindergartens, tamariki thrive in warm, inclusive environments where manaakitanga and whanaungatanga are at the heart of all we do. Our kindergartens are connected to whānau and community.

Inspired by Froebelian philosophy, we value play, creativity, and the natural world, which is brought to life by our qualified kaiako.

We offer a varity of services

We have 22 kindergartens across the Hutt Valley, including Upper Hutt, Stokes Valley, Central Hutt, Western Hills and Wainuiomata.

We offer places for children aged 2 years and over at all 22 of our kindergartens.

Two kindergartens (Titiro Whakamua and Fetu Ao) also welcome infants under 2.

We are proud to have been growing young learners in the Hutt Valley for 95 years, providing the very best teachers and fun learning environments.

We’re not-for-profit, we’re here for your child.

Supporting our tamariki through KidsCan

We’re proud to work alongside KidsCan to help remove barriers to learning and support the wellbeing of our tamariki and whānau.

Through this partnership, Fetu Ao, Naenae, Moera, Titiro Whakamua, Taita and Koraunui Kindergartens are part of the KidsCan Early Childhood Education programme. Tamariki at these kindergartens receive food five days a week, including sandwiches, yoghurt, fruit and three cooked meals each week.

Children are also supported with essential items such as a new pair of shoes and a rain jacket, helping them stay warm, dry and ready to learn.

At Hutt City Kindergartens, we know that when tamariki are well cared for, they are more confident, settled and able to fully participate in their learning. Programmes like KidsCan help us strengthen this support and ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
