Just Kids Community Preschool
Kia ora, Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Kia orana, Hello
Just Kids Community Preschool started in July 2003. From the first day of operation we were excited to provide care and education to infants, toddlers and pre-school children. We saw the diversity in our community and we were excited about the endless possibilities before us to impact children’s lives for the better.
Today, we aim to ensure that every child, family and whãnau member is accepted, included and feels a sense of belonging within our service.
We are a community based preschool and family/whãnau are at the forefront of what we do and what we believe in.
Our management and staff aim to provide children with the foundations that they will need for successful future learning.
At our Bickerton Street centre we provide - a free transport service, free lunches & snacks for every child, free jacket, socks, shoes and headlice treatment for every child, support for parents of children with diverse needs, parent evenings, whānau events, 20 Hours Free Childcare for 3 and 4 year olds......and more.
We invite you to come and visit our centre today!
Together, we can ensure your tamariki have a great start in life and become happy and confident life-long learners.
