A kindergarten at 10 Wycola Avenue in Hei Hei, Christchurch, that sits beside Wycola Park and across from the Hei Hei Community Centre. Its entrance is a waharoa, a traditional Māori gateway, and the centre says the waharoa tells its story. Children are encouraged to explore the park and the neighbouring spaces, and to see themselves as young kaitiaki (guardians) of their local environment.
The kindergarten describes its rooms as light-filled. Its community setting means children get to know the park and the people who use the community centre across the road. Three other childcare listings sit within a kilometre.
