Carterton Kindergarten is in Victoria Street near the heart of Carterton’s shopping centre. It is a three teacher kindergarten with qualified and registered teachers and provides five morning and three afternoon sessions. Carterton Kindergarten offers each child and their whanau a welcoming, safe, inclusive and nurturing environment.

  • The programme encourages all children to be involved in a wide range of challenging and enriching experiences where teachers plan from the emergent curriculum supporting and extending children’s interests with a project and enquiry style approach to learning.
  • Children are encouraged to question, hypothesize, experiment, research and take risks in their learning and to encourage and support each other forming respectful relationships.
  • The teaching team implements a bi-cultural programme where learning in
    Te Reo and Tikanga Maori is immersed into our daily kotahitanga mat-time and then integrated across the curriculum.
  • ICT is part of our daily programme where children learn to use equipment such as a laminator, book binder, photocopier, laptop for story writing, computers for educational software and Mimio, the interactive white board.
  • The outdoor environment provides a challenge course that encourages the development of larger motor skills, self-confidence, balance and
    co-ordination.
