Riverlea Kindergarten

Riverlea Kindergarten Riverlea Kindergarten is a registered Early Childhood Education Centre in the heart of Hillcrest.

Cambridge Road Community Kindergarten is a registered Early Childhood Education centre. We are licensed for up to 20 children per session, with trained qualified staff who are employed by the management committee, which is made up of parents of the attending children. As parents of children attending you are able to apply and become members of our Incorporated Society. We exist to meet your needs

and offer you an early childhood centre, which is a safe, fun place to learn and a comfortable, friendly environment where we hope you can feel at home. We have an enthusiastic elected parent Committee who handle the finances, organise any fundraising, pay staff wages and ensure we are fulfilling the goals specified in our Charter. The Committee tries to keep fundraising to a minimum but really appreciates your support when we do undertake activities. The committee meets for a couple of hours per month and is an enjoyable way to become part of the centre and get to know other parents. Just tell a committee member or staff if you are interested in joining the committee.

What an amazing, special place we have here in Hillcrest. ❤️Licenced for 20 children.

Seymour has frozen the pay parity scheme, which aimed to bring ECE teacher salaries closer to those of their school sector colleagues. This scheme, which is critical for retaining our qualified teachers may soon be scrapped altogether.

And there are more changes coming, such as reductions in teacher qualified requirements.
Sign the petition to stop the changes and keep tamariki safe and learning: https://our.actionstation.org.nz/p/put-children-first.

The Government is swinging a wrecking ball through early childhood education — slashing essential regulatory requirements and rushing through a wave of harmful changes under urgency.  Every family deserves to know their child is safe, nurtured, and receiving high-quality education the moment ...

Take notice parents. This is very concerning. The changes are putting business and profit over children’s safety.

We are very excited to start the new year with our new kitchen and art storage area
We would like to thank Trillian Trust and Grassroots for their contributions towards the costs
The tiling and new kitchen door will finish the project nicely
Children are excited to help with baking, making play dough and using the new storage for lunch boxes and drink bottles
We hope you enjoy the aesthetics of the Kindergarten as much as we do - as we will continue to improve the environment and our teaching practice to ensure we offer the best learning opportunities for our tamariki.

‼️STRIKE TOMORROW‼️

💛🖤 Centres that are party to the Early Childhood Education Collective Agreement (ECECA) are going on strike tomorrow!

🗣 They are calling on the Government to deliver additional funding to support full pay parity, a funding system that supports high quality ECE and improved teacher to child ratios!

👋 We invite whānau, tamariki and educators from across the sector to attend strike events where possible to support ECECA centres that are striking from 1pm – 8pm.

◾️ Please note that this is an invitation to support these events, not to take strike action. If your workplace is not party to the ECECA, then you can not take strike action at this time.

👉 Click the following link to see what strike events are happening near you and join them in their call because achieving these would be wins for ECE across the motu: bit.ly/ECECA-strike-calendar

✍️ Also, please sign our ratios petition here: https://bit.ly/fixratios
💪 And, you can join NZEI here: https://bit.ly/JoinNZEI
