The Cottage Kindergarten is a privately owned kindergarten in the Waimauku area. The Cottage is being setup and will be run by Sara Stewart, a mother and ECE qualified teacher. If you are interested in learning more about us please find our details below.

"The Cottage Kindergarten is a small, rural kindy with a home-like setting where children learn through purposeful play supported by a kind, qualified team who have a deep connection to nature.Children learn when they are truly seen and are deeply heard. This requires an environment that is calm and unhurried, to be 'unbusy' and be present.At The Cottage we believe learning is authentic, engaging and joyful, so that children may fulfil their greatest potential physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, culturally & spiritually.A place where children have a strong sense of belonging whanaungatanga, knowing that what they think matters.A place to be seen, be heard, be loved & belong."
