WELCOME TO FUTURE KIDS PRESCHOOL

We cater to children aged 1 to 5 years old, providing tailored programs to meet the developmental needs of each age group.

Future Kids Preschool operates Monday to Friday from 8 am to 4 pm. We are closed on weekends and public holidays.

Our preschool is licensed to accommodate 39 children, ensuring that we can provide a safe and nurturing environment for all. Please contact us for more details on our licence size.

We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio of 8:1 to ensure personalized attention for each child. This allows us to provide a high-quality educational experience.

We provide a safe and stimulating environment with a variety of educational resources, including books, toys, and learning materials. We also offer outdoor play areas and organized activities.

Our staff team is made up of a Team Leader and registered, qualified teachers. They are dedicated to providing a nurturing and educational environment for all children.

Pick-ups and drop-offs are managed with strict safety measures. Parents are required to sign their children in and out, and only authorized individuals are allowed to pick up the children.

We're open all year except weekend, public holidays and 2 week break over Christmas and New Year

We require a 2-week notice period for withdrawing a child from preschool before they leave for school. This allows us to make necessary arrangements and ensure a smooth transition for the child.

A: At FutureKids Preschool, we align with the New Zealand Ministry of Education’s guidelines on frequent absence, which describes it as a pattern where a child misses a significant number of education sessions over a period, potentially affecting their learning progress. Regular attendance is crucial in early childhood education because consistent participation allows children to fully benefit from our structured programs that focus on school readiness, character building, and identity development. Frequent absences can disrupt a child’s ability to form strong social connections and hinder the continuity of learning, making it harder for them to build essential skills. We work closely with families to support attendance and address any challenges, ensuring every child maximizes their potential during these formative years.

A: At FutureKids Preschool, we understand that toilet training is a crucial developmental milestone and tailor our approach to support each child's individual readiness and needs. Our experienced staff work closely with families to ensure consistency between home and preschool routines. We provide a nurturing environment with accessible bathroom facilities designed for young children to encourage independence and confidence. Through positive reinforcement, gentle reminders, and patience, we help children develop self-care skills while respecting their pace, ensuring a smooth transition toward full toilet independence as part of our holistic focus on building character and readiness for school.

A: At FutureKids Preschool, we understand that drop-off can be an emotional experience for both children and parents. If your child cries at drop-off, our caring and experienced staff encourage a calm and consistent routine to help your child feel secure. We recommend greeting your child with warmth, keeping goodbyes brief but reassuring, and allowing them to bring a comforting item from home. Our teachers are trained to engage children immediately in welcoming activities, helping them transition smoothly. We also advise parents to stay positive and confident, as children often take emotional cues from their caregivers. Over time, most children adjust quickly, building trust and enthusiasm for their daily learning adventures with us. Remember, communication with our staff is key—feel free to discuss your child’s needs so we can support their emotional well-being together on this exciting journey.
