Arohanui Kindergarten is a non-profit kindergarten at 107 Grampian Street in Tokoroa, in the South Waikato. It is run by Central Kids, a non-profit kindergarten association that has provided early childhood education since 1951 and has 47 kindergartens in 26 towns across the central North Island. The kindergarten sits alongside Cargill Open Plan School. The website describes a home-like setting with natural materials and loose parts, a large outdoor area with real grass, and open spaces where children can explore and take physical risks.
Children at Arohanui follow a play-based, child-led programme that uses Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum, and the kindergarten is part of the Central Kids bicultural approach. The kindergarten takes part in the KidsCan programme, which provides healthy hot kai each day. The website describes a teaching team that works together, with strong partnerships with whānau, and it invites families to visit and see the kindergarten for themselves. Fees and support are set out on the website.
