Welcome to days filled with wonder, adventure and discovery.
Nestled in the heart of Maraekākaho, Gumboots is your local community kindergarten. We believe in supporting every child to grow at their own pace, instilling a lifelong love of learning, and embracing the simple magic of a rural childhood.
Through a combination of child-led discovery and intentional teaching, we foster the confidence, curiosity and creativity of every child, and build social and emotional foundations for life.
Inside and out, our environment offers boundless opportunities for learning and growth through hands-on experiences, exploration, and play. Explore our centre and our beautiful local setting.
Our qualified and experienced teachers are passionate about providing the highest calibre of early childhood education, through a teaching practice built on respect, inclusion and aroha.
