Hutt City Kindergartens Check us out today, there’s a kindergarten waiting to welcome your whānau.

With 22 kindergartens across the Hutt Valley and 20 hours free early childhood education, we offer nurturing spaces where children learn through play and grow at their own pace. Your child’s early learning years are very important, so when it comes to choosing an early education centre, you need to be sure it will provide all the things you want for your son or daughter. At Hutt City Kindergartens we’ll give your child the opportunity to play, explore and discover, take risks in a safe and caring environment, and develop independence - all while having a fantastic time with other local children. Providing the very best in preschool education, our qualified and dedicated teachers are passionate and excited about learning. They will support your child to experience a wide variety of new activities, learn new skills and develop a passion for learning that will last a lifetime. Our dynamic learning programmes, based on Te Whāriki, the national curriculum, will give them everything they need for a head start at primary school. Hutt City Kindergartens has been a part of growing up in the Hutt Valley for more than 90 years. Generations of children have come to their local kindy to play, learn, have fun and make lasting friendships - with the children they will most likely move onto school with. We look forward to welcoming your family and want you to feel at home whenever you walk through one of our kindergarten gates.

Giving back to our community 🌟

The team from Boulcott Kindergarten recently spent time volunteering at the Lower Hutt Foodbank, supporting the amazing work they do for local individuals and whānau.

It was a rewarding experience to roll up our sleeves, work together, and contribute to a service that makes a real difference for families across the Hutt Valley.

A big thank you to the Lower Hutt Foodbank team for welcoming us and for the vital support you provide to our community every day. Ka pai!

Matariki is a time to come together, celebrate our communities, share kai, and reflect on the people who make a difference in our lives. Across our kindergartens, tamariki, whānau and teachers marked the occasion in a variety of meaningful ways.

Maungaraki Kindergarten recently welcomed whānau and friends to celebrate this special occasion, and it was a wonderful day.

The team at Maungaraki Kindergarten would like to thank their amazing community for showing up and helping them celebrate Matariki. It was a great day, filled with delicious kai, laughter, and fun.

A special thank you goes to Knights of Rizal Wellington Oceania, who made a thoughtful donation towards the celebration, and to Harry Lamb Real Estate for putting on another delicious sausage sizzle. The team at Maungaraki Kindergarten greatly values these community connections and all the mahi you do.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who helped make the day so special. ✨
