Help us build Geraldine Kindergarten's NEW Purpose-Built Centre
A Community Legacy -We are building more than a kindergarten, we're building a future for Geraldine. Become a part of this legacy!
Geraldine, Canterbury
Since 1950, Geraldine District Free Kindergarten Association has been a cornerstone of our community. We have just celebrated 75 years of outstanding care and education!
However, Our Community Needs More
Our commitment to providing all our tamariki with high quality, child centred education and care, means that our families are facing long waiting lists. Many children are only able to attend part time, creating stress for our families in today's cost of living crisis, therefore our need for accessible early childhood education is more crucial than ever for working families.
The Solution: 36 Wilson Street
We've purchased land at 36 Wilson Street - directly across from our current kindergarten. Now we need your help to build a purpose-built, community-first facility specifically designed for the youngest children in our community, 0-3 year olds.
Why This Matters- Your contribution helps create:
● More kindergarten places for families who need them
● Specialised spaces designed for infants and toddlers
● Community-first early education that's accessible to all
● Support for working families during challenging economic times
● A stronger community with quality early childhood education
Join Our Community Effort. Your donation directly strengthens our community, one family at a time.
