Enrol at Pukeko Preschool
Where every day is a new adventure!
Enrolling at Pukeko Preschool is easy!
Full day, half day, or full week options are available.
Take a tour
You need to feel confident that your child is going to be happy at preschool, and the best way to ensure this is to come in and meet with us and take a tour.
Get in touch with any enquiries or to arrange a tour time.
Please provide the following for your child:
Food pack
A food pack to provide enough food for the day – no drink is required we will provide water and milk each day.
Old clothes
Two to three changes of old clothes as we are keen on messy play and encourage children to participate fully. Please understand that when we say messy we mean messy – the best clothes for preschool come from the op-shop.
Jacket and shoes
Children will be taken on outings, and for these, shoes and jackets are required.
Sun hat
A sun hat is vital throughout the summer. Pukeko Preschool will provide sunscreen.
Medication
Necessary medication for your child. Medication must be registered into the medical book at the sign-in desk (dated and signed). Please refer to our Medications Policy.
We love boxes, fabric, and jars
Any old resources are also always welcome, things like:
Spare paper or large cardboard rolls from your work
Untreated timber offcuts or unwanted nails for our woodwork table
Sturdy plastic containers from your kitchen (like coffee jars), milk bottle tops, and egg cartons. We use these things in arts and crafts, or in the sandbox
Spare fabric, tablecloths, and scarves
And any other goodies you think we could use.
Inspiring little minds
Please feel free to bring any item of interest to Pukeko Preschool that you think will help us teach the children more.
We have had some wonderful treasures brought in, such as:
A chrysalis (we watched the butterfly emerge), with some spare swan plants to feed the caterpillars - magical!
A musical instrument, where the parent explained the instrument and played a little music to the children – beautiful!
An old engine for the children to take apart with granddad coming along and supervising the process - brilliant!
Items for managing a beehive (including the suit, a honey-frame, a smoker, and some flowers that bees visit) with some honey to eat. Mum sat down with the children and talked about how it all worked - fantastic!
