Our Structure
GCK is managed by a Charitable Trust which comprises board members who give of their time and skills in service to the kindergarten. We are closely aligned with Glendowie Presbyterian Church, from whom we rent our premises. The board chairperson is accessible directly from the e-mail address and feedback form on our contact page.
Our Philosophy
Each and every child entrusted into our care is a unique individual created by God. We treat each child and their family with love and respect as they grow and develop within our wider “GCK Family”.
The GCK learning environment strives to reflect and respond to the multicultural heritage of all our kindergarten families, as well as emphasising and celebrating the unique bicultural heritage of New Zealand. GCK respects and acknowledges Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
