Kidsfirst Alexandra Kindergarten

Alexandra Kindergarten is part of the Central Otago Kindergarten Association. We are a non-profit organisation that are committed to offering quality early childhood education and empower children to be lifelong learners.

Our name says it all. We put children first. That's because the early years are so very important.

Formerly known as the Canterbury Westland Kindergarten Association, we are one of New Zealand's largest and longest serving early childhood education providers.

We have undergone some big changes in recent years to give Kidsfirst the strong base necessary to remain a pre-eminent provider of quality early childhood education.

Our staff of more than 400 includes 100% qualified and registered early childhood teachers. It's one of the things that makes us special.

Kidsfirst has always been an innovator and we are keen to look forward, while still recognising where we have been and the special attributes that need to be protected for generations to come.

Kidsfirst Kindergartens have a set of organisational values that provide touchstones for everything we do. It's about how we do things as much as what we do - these are values to work by, that fashion our behaviours as individuals and as an organisation.
