Kihikihi Kindergarten sits on Linden Street in the rural town of Kihikihi, Waipā, with a large park-like outdoor area where children can explore and be active. It is a Green-Gold accredited Enviroschools kindergarten, so environmental care is part of the programme, and children learn to look after Papatūānuku. The indoor space is described as inviting and well resourced. The kindergarten is run by Central Kids, a non-profit kindergarten association that has provided early childhood education since 1951. Its team is described as experienced, fully qualified and collaborative. Staff and whānau work on relationships, and the kindergarten's whakataukī is "As we learn and as we grow, we move forward together". A parent quoted on the site says the teachers were welcoming from the first day, that the environment is warm and hands-on, and that communication with families is good. Central Kids follows Te Whāriki and is bicultural.
