Welcome to
Kidz Kindy @49
At Kidz Kindy @49 we provide an exciting, well balanced educational programme for children aged between 3-5 years.
Transition to school group – the ‘Owl Group’
Our Transition to School group meets daily. This small group’s focus is to develop skills to support our children with their transition to start school. We will be working on writing their names, holding their pencil correctly, identifying letter sounds and names, identifying numbers 1-10 counting in order, and enjoying books.

This morning the tamariki @75 got busy mark making with different types of wheels and experimented colour mixing. Mark making supports the development of fine motor skills and hand eye coordination as they move the the car around the paper. The children are able to use experiences like these to express their feelings and explore different tools supporting sensory awareness🎨🚗
This week at 49 we did some hard work fixing up one of our tables. Tamariki learned about how we keep safe when using tools, and made sure to wear their ear muffs. We love having tamariki involved in fixing up and looking after this place. We now have a bright, beautiful yellow table to enjoy 💛
This rainy day @49 has been full of fun with tamariki working collaboratively on a space floor puzzle, helping look after kindy cleaning the windows and showing off their creativity using the lego and playdough. Outside has also seen tamariki testing their bodies capabilities using the monkey bars and swings with their friends!! These experiences are helping tamariki develop very important gross motor and social skills 🌧🌂
