Thames Coast Kindergarten

Welcome to Thames Coast Kindergarten

Thames Coast Kindergarten is a small, locally connected early childhood centre in Te Puru, just north of Thames on the Coromandel Peninsula. For more than 30 years, it has served coastal families as a place where tamariki learn, play, and grow together, while parents and whānau build lasting community connections.

Our coastal setting plays an important role in our learning programme. With the beach, creek and local domain nearby, children regularly explore the natural environment, developing curiosity about the world around them and building a sense of kaitiakitanga - caring for and respecting the environment.

Families remain at our heart. Parents, grandparents and caregivers are welcome to visit us!

Hours

Our hours are 8:45am - 2:45pm Monday to Friday.
Holiday programmes available following Term's 1, 2 & 3.

What makes our kindergarten special?

We are the only early childhood centre in a 50 km stretch from Thames to Coromandel Town on the Coromandel Peninsula. We are a core service in our area; not just for education, but also as a place where families get to know one another and establish friendships that strengthen our small community. Because we are independent, we can tailor our services as much as possible to the local community’s wishes and we ensure our services and facilities reflect the needs and values of our whanau and wider community.
