About Kidsfirst Kindergartens Kendal Avenue
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Kidsfirst Kindergartens Kendal Avenue, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Fantastic kindergarten, all teachers are nice. Highly recommend.”
“We've had the pleasure of being involved with Kidsfirst Kendal Ave since 2017 when our eldest started. All four of our children have been to this beautiful Kindy and they’ve had the best time and learnt so much. It is such a stable and caring environment with the consistent teachers really getting to know the children. After 8 years, our fourth child has just started School. We are all going to miss the teachers dearly. Thank you for everything you have done for our family – you will always have a special place in our hearts.”
“Absolutely gorgeous Kindy. Such kind and caring staff who have helped so much with my sons transition to Kindy. Highly recommend, such a beautiful setting for kids to learn and grow. Cannot thank them enough for all they do. Absolutely love it!”
