the joy of teaching, the love of learning |
Welcome to Eskview Kindergarten
Eskview Kindergarten (located in the Bay View township) encompasses both local and rural surrounding districts and operates within a peaceful, positive environment which supports and stimulates children’s curiosity, wonder and awe in the world around them.
Our kindergarten acknowledges the importance of fostering warm, reciprocal relationships, both with the children and their families, and the vibrant local community. Our strong links between the community, families and the kindergartens are maintained though our regular community events, events which really highlight the notion as this is a place of belonging – this is our place.
We welcome interested families to visit us here at Eskview Kindergarten.

Eskview Philosophy:
We provide a colourful and creative learning environment; rich in opportunities for children to be curious and stimulated within a harmonious atmosphere. We promote a respectful kindergarten, reflective of and embracing the local community and environment, which acknowledges the dual heritages of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our Vision:
Learners for Life
Our Favourite 2016 ERO Comment:
Children learn in a positive, supportive environment that reflects the kindergarten's philosophy and semi-rural environment. Teachers know children and their families very well. Friendships amongst children and having fun as part of the learning process are highly evident. Parents regularly share their knowledge and skills to promote children's learning.
A broad curriculum reflects the kindergarten's commitment to the arts and physical activity. Early literacy, mathematics and science development is meaningfully integrated into learning contexts. Children lead their own learning and are highly engaged in cooperative and sustained play. They are encouraged to use their imagination and be creative. Natural resources are valued and children have the freedom to explore nature.

Testimonial:
We have two girls who have attended Eskview Kindergarten from 2013 to present and we have found the time they have spent there to be enjoyable, worthwhile and a crucial part of their development. Eskview kindergarten clearly invests in the children who attend to help them prepare for future success. Te Whāriki, the foundation of the Early Learning Program at the Kindergarten supports the children's social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. This is evident in many of the play and learning opportunities at the Kindergarten from outdoor play, arts, crafts gardening and the many differing activities set out each day for the children to explore.
We have found that our two girls are happy to attend sessions at the Kindergarten. They are confident to share their likes and experiences with the teachers proving to us that they feel safe and supported in their learning environment, and their ideas are highly valued. Staff are very warm and approachable, providing support to parents by making the time to discuss any matters raised. Eskview Kindergarten has been delovoping their links with local schools and increased involvement with these schools. This has clearly aided in providing a smooth transition from Kindergarten to school. It enables the children to become familiar with the school environment, teachers and other students before they attend, building excitement for this special time in their lives.
