Children at Henderson Valley Private Kindergarten feeding the farm animals

Welcome

Providing quality childcare in rural West Auckland

Henderson Valley Private Kindergarten is a family-owned and operated kindergarten located in the tranquil Henderson Valley scenic reserve far removed from noise and pollution.

​

Established in 2010 as the second of two kindergartens owned by Norman and Jennifer who have had their original centre in Titirangi running for over 30 years, our Henderson Valley Campus brings with it a unique experience for children to receive quality education and care in a spacious, thoughtfully designed centre, as well as having the opportunity to engage with the natural world that our location lends us to. Hands on experience with animals is a fantastic aspect of our kindy location and provides great learning opportunities for our children.This exposure has been shown to have a direct, beneficial influence on children’s cognitive and physical development. 

​

We cater for children from 18 months old in two interconnected learning spaces designed to extend on their unique interests and abilities. We are lucky enough to have large areas available for year round active movement both indoors and outside in our naturalised outdoor space reflective of our location in the Waitakere foothills.​

​

Operating times 8.30am to 3.30am Monday to Friday. Part day sessions available.
