Our classrooms
Kiwi Kids has 5 separate rooms enabling us to deliver safe, nurturing and age appropriate learning experiences for all our tamariki. Transition through the various classes is based on individual development of the child and therefore the ages for the rooms are a guideline. Movement through the rooms is always in consultation between the kaiako and the whānau.
