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.

Today is the day! The soup is cooking and tamariki are doing their final practice for their performance. We hope to see many of our 49 whānau here this afternoon for our Matariki celebration ✨✨
49 have been doing lots of learning about Matariki. We have been doing art for the stars, singing Matariki songs, and reading books about Matariki. The Matariki puzzle has been a great resource to start conversations about the stars and what they mean.
Tamariki are looking forward to our Matariki celebration tomorrow, and we hope to see lots of whānau join us with their tamariki at 49 for soup and Matariki activities from 4pm Tuesday.
Mānawatia a Matariki ✨
We are so lucky to have a big beautiful lemon tree at 75. Today we decided to make some lemon curd together. We all washed our hands and took turns squeezing, pouring and watching as we used the thermomix to help create our delicious curd. It was a great learning experience for our children at 75 taking turns and measuring the ingredients. There will be a jar of curd to take home today 🍋
