Due to weather and road conditions Kindergarten is now closed for the day. Keep warm everyone.

‼️ ❄️ Further update, all DK kindergartens are closed for the day Tuesday 4th August, inline with our OPPA colleagues and schools. The conditions are dangerous, roads are treacherous and people’s safety matters. Work and learn from home today. Kia mahana 🔥

10 am start!!! Got the date right this time.
Keep warm and we'll keep you updated in the event of more snow!

Kia Ora whānau,
Don't forget to come on down to Mitre 10 Mega on Sunday from 10-4, to support our awesome committee's sausage sizzle fundraiser 🌭

It would be fair to say the Tamariki are beyond thrilled with the new safety matting that was laid this week at JRK. A massive thank you needs to go out to the DK for overseeing this project and to the team at Numat for answering the endless questions the Tamariki (& kaiako) had for them during the week 🥰
Our outdoor learning environment looks amazing!

We are beyond grateful to have Melany & Ashley as part of our JRK Whānau.
It's heartwarming to see their hard work & dedication being celebrated in this wee write up 🥰🦆🥰

Meet Melany and Ashley - the ‘magic elves’ of Johnathan Rhodes Kindy Melany and Ashley keep Johnathan Rhodes Kindy sparkling clean, going above and beyond while bringing joy to staff and children every day.

Kia ora to our JRK Whānau and wider JRK community,

And just like that......
Our 2025 kindy year has come to a close.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this year another successful year of fun-filled learning for the JRK tamariki.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and Happy New Year.

See you all on January 20th 2026

The tamariki at JRK wanted to express their heartfelt thanks to the team at Gardens New World for generously lending us two of their delightful elves for our festive celebration today. The tamariki had a fantastic time with them, and their presence truly added magic to our day.
We greatly appreciate their support not only today but also throughout 2025, as they are always enthusiastic about supporting us with our fundraising ideas and adventures.
