Clendon Christian Preschool opened in August, 2013. It provides a multicultural, family friendly environment that has developed strong links with our community. Licensed for 80 children, we nurture children aged approximately 1.5 – 6 years.

We believe that each child is a gift from God and is best taught well while they are young. Our Learning program is based on Biblical teaching and the principles of Te Whāriki (New Zealand ECE curriculum) which guides us in the development of children’s cognitive, emotional, physical, intellectual, language, spiritual and social needs.

20 Free ECE Hours for 3-5 year olds available. We receive a subsidy from the government for 20 ECE hours for children aged 3-5

Fees for all children (all ages)

Our fees are $10.00 per hour for 3 year olds after 20 ECE free hours and $7.00 per hour for under 3 year olds, for all booked hours, and all extra hours attended, except the 20 free ECE hours.. This means if your 3 year old child attends for more than 20 hours per week, you will need to pay $10.00 per hour for the extra hours eg $60 per week if they attend for 26 hours per week (20ECE + 6 x $10). Also if your child is under the age of 3, each hour they attend will cost $7 as the government ECE subsidy is not for children under 3. Some families may qualify for subsidies from WINZ to help cover this cost.

The Preschool is open Monday to Friday 7:30 to 17:30; 49 weeks a year. We are open during school holidays apart from 3 weeks over Christmas/New Year. We are closed on public holidays.

(Attendance during school holidays is optional, But we would appreciate parents indicating during last week of term if they intend attending during the school term breaks.)
