Katikati Kindergarten is a childcare centre on Fairview Road in Katikati, Western Bay of Plenty, part of the Inspired Kindergartens group. Enrolment at a kindergarten like this usually works on a priority system rather than first-come-first-served alone, with siblings of children already attending often given preference over new families, so it's worth asking how the waitlist is ranked rather than assuming a place will come up in the order you applied. Kindergarten sessions and rolls also tend to be smaller than a large childcare centre, which can mean a shorter wait in a small town like Katikati than in a bigger city, but it pays to enquire early rather than leaving it until close to when a place is needed. It's also worth asking how the day balances structured activities against free play, since that balance varies more between kindergartens than people expect. On Fairview Road in Katikati, this kindergarten is one of the local options for early learning.
