About Us

Love God, Love People, Love Learning

At St Andrew's Preschool, we provide a warm nurturing environment where each child is known, valued, and encouraged to thrive.

Our teaching is intentional and guided by biblical values, helping children grow in character, confidence, and curiosity. We build on each child's strengths through planned learning experiences that support their development spiritually, emotionally, socially, and academically.

As a Christian preschool in Aotearoa, we follow the ECE curriculum with a strong foundation in faith, fostering skills for life - like kindness, resilience, problem solving, and independence. We partner with parents to plant seeds that will grow into a lifelong love of learning and for the Lord.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
