Hunter Park Kindergarten is a sessional kindergarten at 38A Nelson Street in Waipukurau, Central Hawke's Bay. It sits on top of the historic Pukekaihau Pa, overlooking the township and surrounded by mature trees. It is part of Heretaunga Kindergartens and takes children aged two to six.
The kindergarten has a key teacher for each child, who plans for and records that child's learning with the whānau. Its teaching follows its own cultural framework, Te Puna o Pukekaihau, alongside Te Whāriki. It is an active Enviroschool, and it teaches mindfulness to children, whānau and teachers. The kindergarten has a maximum group size of 40, and the website lists standard session hours of 8.30am to 2.30pm each day. The website says it offers 30 hours of free early childhood education and that fees are zero. Families are welcome to visit during session hours, and it is open during school term breaks except the summer holidays.
