Balclutha Kindergarten

Balclutha Kindergarten is situated centrally in Balclutha, 1 hour south of Dunedin, on the flat in Lanark Street beside the bridge. The kindergarten serves people from all over South Otago (a rural setting) but mainly those from North Balclutha, Stirling, Kaitangata and people living on the flat area of Balclutha, therefore the kindergarten feeds into a number of schools in the area.

Our kindergarten services a range of family makeups and occupations, which includes solo parents, freezing workers, farmers and those unemployed. We have good liaisons with all local schools and frequently visit our neighbouring school, Balclutha Primary. The kindergarten is very accessible to shops, supermarket, fire station, etc making visits by children a frequent event.

Balclutha Kindergarten prides itself on is big, bright friendly building and atmosphere. It has a hard working volunteer committee who are dedicated to making it a site of excellence. It is well resourced with a great teaching team to complete a very good picture. Our outdoor area is large with a variety of stimulating activities to enhance the learning of our children.

We are a two teacher Kindergarten offering the traditional morning and afternoon sessions that are synonymous with the Kindergartens that we all grew up with. We were the first Kindergarten established in the South Otago area and we celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2005.
