developing the whole child ...

In one convenient location we provide:

  • Kowhai Childcare - day-care for children 6 months to 6 years.
  • Miro House - a kindergarten for 3 to 6 year olds.
  • Waikato Waldorf School - years 1 to 8.

In addition we have Olive House (a second kindergarten), and Marigold (a playcircle), situated at 644 Grey Street, Hamilton East.

Planning is underway for a High School. The High School Group and principal are leading this initiative.

Waikato Waldorf School is situated on 6.4 hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds, close to the shopping area at the crossroads of Thomas Road and Hukanui Road in northeast Hamilton. Extensive plantings, a large public reserve on our southern boundary, two streams, and spacious grassed areas preserve the school's peaceful, rural character. Farms stand on our northern boundary and contemporary subdivisions comprise the urban neighbourhood to the south.

What every parent would wish as the best for his or her children, Waldorf education provides. The fullest development of intelligent, imaginative, self-confident, and caring persons is the aim of Waldorf education. The aim is solidly grounded in a comprehensive view of human development, in an intellectually rich curriculum, and in the presence of knowledgeable caring human beings at every stage of the child's education.
