The Redwoods Country Kindergarten is a nursery school on Tukapa Street in Hurdon, New Plymouth. A country-style kindergarten usually makes the most of having real space outdoors: mud, trees, open grass and room to run rather than a small fenced yard, which gives children a different kind of physical play than a tightly packed urban centre can offer. That kind of setting also means packing differently, spare clothes, gumboots and a change of socks matter more here than at a centre that stays mostly indoors, so it's worth asking what a typical day outside actually looks like before enrolling. Settling a young child into nursery for the first time usually goes better with a gradual introduction, a few short sessions before a full day, rather than diving straight into a long stretch away from home. On Tukapa Street in Hurdon, this kindergarten is one of the local options for that kind of outdoor-focused early learning.
