A kindergarten with a focus on sustainability and the environment, tucked into the heart of Lyttelton beside the Recreation Centre, at 33 Winchester Street. The kindy sits in lush gardens with native trees, on a hillside where the outdoor spaces run across different levels. The kindy describes its aim as children becoming confident guardians of the environment, through daily outdoor discovery in a nature-rich setting.
Customers say the kaiako are welcoming, and celebrate each child as an individual. One says the teachers find activities that match each child's interests, and that there are many exciting spaces inside and out. Another says the child has been attending for two years, and that the outdoor area, the play modules and the well-organised inside make it a wonderful place. Our pick in Lyttelton for a kindy with a strong outdoor space.
