Giving our children an excellent start for life long learning.
Our LocationsWe believe in the little things and the ginormous difference they can make and matter for a lifetime.
Learning through Play enables children to think creatively, problem solve and make decisions.
Our teaching teams must meet the same Education standards as qualified teachers in schools.
Community participation helps us to adapt our philosophies and environments to suit the needs and of the children attending.
NKA employs Speech-language therapists to assist and support your child’s communication development. Our therapists see children who have mild to moderate needs. We work together with you, your child and their teacher.
NKA is Northland’s first choice for early learning services because we know that it’s the little things that matter. Your child’s first hand-painting, making a new friend, or independently solving a problem are all important milestones in your child’s development. Our kaiako know that the little things that matter most are your precious tamariki and that’s why we take such care with every detail, and every decision, big and small, when it comes to their kindergarten experience.
