A kindergarten on Weld Street in Redwoodtown, Blenheim, run by the Marlborough Kindergarten Association. The association is a non-profit community organisation with an elected board, and it puts the funding it receives into early childhood education.
The kindergarten has a large sandpit with water play, a mud kitchen, a woodwork bench and edible gardens. Children make excursions to nearby Oliver Park, and the website says the kindergarten helps children move on to Redwoodtown School. The teaching follows the Te Whāriki curriculum, and the association's values are whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and ako.
The kindergarten runs as a full-year service, closing only between Christmas and New Year or for teacher professional development. Full-day sessions in school hours are offered during term time at the association's kindergartens. The website says each centre is a hub for whānau with young children in its area.
