KiNZ Myers Park Early Learning Centre is a kindergarten-style centre on Queen Street in the Auckland CBD, run by the Auckland Kindergarten Association. Its building was gifted to the children of Auckland in 1916, and the centre describes itself as an oasis of green in the middle of the city. It takes children from six months to five years old, and offers 20 free hours each week for children from age three.
The centre says its teaching team is experienced and qualified, and that it supports the cultural heritage of each child through language, songs, legends and customs, in line with Te Tiriti o Waitangi. A parent who has had a child there for seven months describes the staff as caring and helpful, and says the arts, crafts and games run through the day have helped their daughter's verbal communication grow. For a family working in or near the city centre, the location is the first practical point to note.
