A kindergarten at 4 Hicks Lane in Clive, Hawke's Bay, that was known as Nature Preschool and has now joined Lumsden Kindergarten. The website says the doors are open and the teachers are in place, and that the centre is still focused on purpose, love and intention in its work with children. A new website for Clive Kindergarten is being prepared, and enquiries about tours and enrolments can be sent through the enquiry button on the current page.
The website describes Lumsden Kindergarten's approach as one of trusting relationships with whānau, learning through play and exploration, and encouraging children to communicate through language, culture, movement and play. Learning includes Countries of the World studies, languages and local legends, and children are encouraged to take age-appropriate risks. The website says the owner and director is a registered teacher with many years in early childhood education in Hawke's Bay.
