Personalised Learning
A semi-structured educational programme in a safe, fun and nurturing learning environment.
A private Hamilton kindergarten where very child receives a personal learning programme. We encourage every child to find their own strengths and develop areas of interest. We combine quality care with early childhood education. Consequently your child will become confident in their own learning. They will also be well prepared for school.
100% Qualified Teachers
We’re licensed by the Ministry of Education for 25 children per session. Therefore your child will not get lost in a crowd. We also provide extra staff to ensure our ratios are exceptional.
Our Unique Kindyz Programme
We alternate children's sessions between Kindy Tweenz and Kindy Kidz. The groups are split by age (youngest and oldest).
We think long hours in big centres with children of all ages is not the best for learning. Our programme therefore avoids this problem. Our unique programme exposes your children to two specialist teams of early childhood teachers every day. As a result your child remains stimulated with varied and fun learning activities. When ready, children will move from the youngest, to the oldest group. This means they remain with other children their own age. Because Kindy Tweenz and Kindy Kidz are right next each other the process works perfectly.
Four Year Old Extension Programme
Children in our oldest group at Kindy Kidz take their learning a step further in readiness for their transition to school. We continue our emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Some of our activities include:
- Recognising letters of the alphabet, their names and their sounds
- Writing their own first and last names
- Developing a love of books
- Retelling and illustrating stories
- Telling their own stories then copying teachers’ writing
- Using our carefully selected online reading and maths programmes
- Beginning to use word lists and reading books, if they’re ready
- Counting and recognising bands of numbers e.g. 1-5, 1-12, 12-20
- Solving puzzles and problems
Every child has their own workbook containing an individual set of activities. At the beginning of each term, teachers assess each child’s development. Then they set personalised objectives for the term, which are shared with parents. Many of the children also enjoy homework activities (which are not compulsory). But it does help reinforce what is being learnt during the day.
Semi-structured Sessions
Our semi-structured programme incorporates all of these routines into each session:
- Group mat times, encouraging confidence to join in, listen and show respect for others
- Theme activities, which are topical and often initiated by the children ensuring greater interest
- Large and small group activities
- Individual one-on-one activities with teachers, particularly focusing on literacy and numeracy
- Active and quiet activities
- Creative activities such as painting, collage, sewing, printing etc.
- Collaborative activities such as construction blocks, Lego, drama, music
- Confidence building activities and those that develop co-ordination and gross motor skills
- Structured inside, outside and meal times
Opportunities for children to learn will always be available to them. Every child develops at their own pace so our teachers will plan activities carefully to incorporate all the different levels and abilities into the programme.
