Central Kids Rushton Road Kindergarten is a kindergarten at 20 Rushton Road in Morrinsville, Matamata-Piako. It is part of Central Kids, a non-profit kindergarten association that has been providing early childhood education since 1951 and runs 47 kindergartens in 26 towns across the central North Island. The kindergarten offers a child-led, play-based programme that follows the Te Whāriki curriculum, and it uses Te Whatu Pōkeka, a Māori approach to assessment for learning. Te reo Māori and tikanga are part of the daily programme, and the centre has a large outdoor area and playground.
A parent quoted on the website says their daughter, who had struggled to fit in, took to the kindergarten quickly after about a month. They praise the playground and the staff. Families are welcome to visit at any time, and the website says the kindergarten has a range of opening hours and that some of the kindergartens in the group take children from birth to six years.
