Just a stone’s throw from the CBD, and close to the Hospital too, Hamilton West Kindergarten in Horne Street has been a mainstay of the community for almost 70 years.
Tucked away down a long driveway, the kindergarten is a hidden gem in the heart of surburbia, with a wonderful natural environment including a gully, plenty of outdoor space for growing Kiwis to stretch their legs, and warm, cosy surroundings indoors.
And now, for even greater convenience for parents, Hamilton West Kindergarten is open 8am-5pm weekdays, which offers working families more options when it comes to their preschoolers’ education.
Part of the family of kindergartens, centres and homebased education services of Waikato Kindergarten Association, Hamilton West Kindergarten lies opposite Hamilton West School, so offers additional convenience for parents with school-age and preschool children.
Parents working at the hospital, along with those in the CBD, will no doubt welcome the extended hours offered by Hamilton West Kindergarten, which is the second Kindergarten in the immediate area to open 8am-5pm weekdays.
Deanwell Kindergarten moved to 8am-5pm opening hours last year and has a number of families who have been enjoying the convenience of the additional hours.
The safe, caring and stimulating environments offered by the Kindergartens are a key drawcard, including large outdoor spaces with sandpits, waterplay and grassed area. Learning is based on Te Whāriki, the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum.
Affordability is also important for families, and with 20 free hours available from two years old, Kindergarten, with extended hours, is continuing to be a popular choice for parents with young children.
If you, or someone you know, is looking for high-quality preschool education, in a safe and engaging environment, call in and meet the Hamilton West Kindergarten team. Alternatively, call 0800 CHILDREN or visit us online at kindergarten.org.nz/hamiltonwest.
