Stanmore Bay Kindergarten is located next to Stanmore Bay Primary School on Waiora Road, creating strong connections with our local learning community. Established in 1979 as the first public kindergarten on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, we are proud to offer a fun, engaging, and well‑resourced environment where tamariki feel welcome, supported, and excited to learn.

At Stanmore Bay Kindergarten, our aspiration is for every child to grow into a confident, capable, and curious learner. Our fully qualified and registered kaiako are committed to building learning power by recognising each child as an individual and supporting their physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. We value the knowledge whānau bring and warmly encourage families to be active partners in their child’s learning journey.

We create an environment that nurtures fun, curiosity, exploration, and meaningful relationships. Children are encouraged to follow their interests, engage with others, and explore learning spaces intentionally designed to spark wonder and discovery. Learning happens through a balance of child‑initiated experiences and thoughtful guidance from our teaching team, allowing each child to grow at their own pace. Whānau are always welcome to spend time with us, share their experiences, and be active partners in their child’s learning journey.
