Nau mai haere mai - Welcome

Mayfair Kindergarten is situated in the heart of Mayfair.  Our spacious outdoor environment encourages a connection to fundamentals of physical development while also providing intimate indoor spaces for curiosity and discovery.  

At Mayfair Kindergarten we provide a kaupapa Māori environment, normalising and validating te reo Māori (Māori language), Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), tikanga Māori (Māori customs) and ahuatanga Māori (Māori characteristics). We also align our practices in an environment which reflects and focuses on education for sustainability which is evident with the mahi undertaken as part of the enviroschools kaupapa.
