What People Are Saying
“We love Wild Places bush kindy! Tim, Lase & Sharon are such wonderful kaiako who have created such a warm and welcoming environment. Both my 4 year old and 1 year old have such a strong sense of belonging within the centre and are always counting down the days until bush kindy. It is so obvious that the kaiako are passionate about tamariki and continuously put in the effort to make meaningful experiences. Of course, the outdoors fosters peace, creativity and even resilience which I think is part of what makes Wild Places so unique. We would recommend to anyone!”

“I could not be more happier with my decision to enrol my daughter at Wild Places Education its warm and welcoming the indoor /outdoor area is amazing, the beach hutts and bush is fun and great for running and playing. The kaiako are incredible they have made my daughter feel safe and because of this is feel she is thriving! I would recommend Wild Places Education to any family looking in the area.

“Have recently enrolled my 2year old granddaughter in Wild Places. Absolutely loves being in the outdoors and bush doesn't matter if its rain or shine. The activites in the bush are really fun and she loves the ropes swings. She loves helping make the bread or pancakes which are cooked over the camp oven and sharing with everyone. The kids all interact and help each other. Its is really great fun and at the same time she is learning lots.
If you are looking for a Kindy this is the one.”
