Richmond Kindergarten


About Us

Richmond Kindergarten is a family friendly kindergarten which offers flexible enrolments to meet children’s individual needs. The kindergarten is located in the heart of Richmond and has positive relationships with all the local primary schools in the area. 

Richmond kindergarten is well resourced, and has a focus on sensory motor development and fostering the needs of individual children. The programme celebrates diversity by incorporating sign language and te reo. Children are encouraged to make choices, extend themselves, be creative, problem solve, develop socially and make discoveries for themselves. The teachers’ aim is for children to develop a positive attitude towards learning, becoming independent, capable, competent lifelong learners and communicators.

Families are always welcome to visit anytime.

FEES
Parents who do not attest their 20 hours ECE to the kindergarten, pay a fee of $3.84 per enrolled hour.
FAMILY CONTRIBUTIONS
All parents are asked for a Family Contribution of 30c per enrolled hour to cover additional costs not covered by the Ministry of Education funding. Parents can claim this as a donation for tax purposes.
