A Private Kindergarten at your doorstep in Turua…
Fun Place Turua is a kindergarten licensed for 28 children aged from 2-6 years old, with 3 qualified teachers plus a teacher in studying ECE.
We have an environment where children are encouraged to explore, question, investigate and discover. The kindergarten programme offers children an environment that is stimulating, inviting and challenging. We place a high level of trust in our children as capable and competent learners and therefore provide tools such as hot glue guns for them to use. The skills and knowledge gained from our programme help all children prepare for the transition to primary school. We organize local school visits when the time is right to ensure children comfortably transition to the next step.
