Kia ora koutou, welcome to the website of the Nelson District Free Kindergarten Association, which operates kindergartens and early childhood education centres in the Nelson/Tasman District.
- Experts agree that children who attend a high quality early childhood education programme get a head start at school - they have better skills in areas such as communication, reading, numeracy, problem solving and socialisation.
- We employ fully trained and registered teachers. Research shows that having trained teachers is critical for a quality early childhood education service.
- Our early childhood education programmes provide the foundation for your child to become a confident, competent and successful learner.
- Your child will explore numeracy, literacy, science, physical development, writing, social interaction and information communication technology through their play and learning opportunities provided during their time at a kindergarten/early childhood education centre.
- Teachers incorporate rich experiences that enhance skills and knowledge into the programme which facilitate a smooth and effective transition to school for children and their families.
