Parents are encouraged to come along with your littlies when they start which eases the separation guilt thing, soon enough you realize that your children crave the interaction with others of their age and as parent you can quietly step away for a few hours in a day. My children loved the dress-up corner which had quite a selection of princess and fairy dresses, batman, spiderman, Harry Potter outfits and enough animal ensembles for the whole bunch. The garden is their pride and joy and lots of fundraising went into the shade sails and various landscaping elements to make this garden adventure playground a cool place to hang out. Inside the large hall is separated into many different areas of discovery and mat time is in the quiet back room. This is where my kids experienced their first after-hours disco, lots of fun and thanks to the team who make it all happen!

From the beginning we were warmly welcomed by the staff and other families at Kaurilands Kindy…read more This kindy is a respectful and nurturing environment, where children are encouraged to be independent and capable learners. The teachers are highly experienced and are always observing the children and their interests and adding activities to suit. There is a wide range of activities for the children to take part in and the teachers see learning opportunities in everything. I cannot recommend this kindy highly enough.

The teachers are really lovely and on the day's I have been a visitor the welcome is so friendly. The facility itself feels like a home away from home, very comfortable for the preschoolers as they get used to routines and a more disciplined form of learning. There is lots of unstructured play interspersed with mat time and projects done together. Outside the playground is a great avenue of endless exploration and games. Being right next to Oratia School would make the transition from 4 to 5 years and start of school an easy one.
