Fiordland Kindergarten

The kindergarten serves the Te Anau basin, which is a well defined area on the boundary of a World Heritage Park.

The people in the community are involved in tourism, agriculture, fishing and the service industries.

Te Anau is situated 160 kilometres from Invercargill.

The population fluctuates because of the seasonal nature of much of the employment.

The kindergarten is well supported by the community.

The emphasis/strength in the programme offered is on art and the natural world and documentation of children's learning using computer technology.
