At Matapu Preschool we are inspired by heart relationships, homely beauty, and the beauty of nature.

Our Philosophy

We believe in kindness for the environment, people and things.
We believe in embracing the rhythms and seasons of nature especially in
relation to our rural culture, awa and Maunga.
At Matapu Preschool we value children as unique and capable.
Teachers believe in kind words and kind hearts, in listening , being reflective and
evaluative. Teacher’s practice is underpinned and guided by Te Whariki.
We view involvement as an important aspect of knowing our families, their values,
and beliefs, which are honoured with kindness and respected.

Our Centre

Our community owned not-for-profit early learning Centre
is a modern, spacious, purpose built facility in a natural environment where relationships and people are at
the Centre of everything we do.
We are licensed for 30 children and our farming
community value the beautiful natural outdoor area and
the homely comfort of the resources available.
