Welcome to Hadlow Pre-School!

Our friendly Pre-School is based at Hadlow Preparatory School, Masterton, which recently undertook extensive renovations to provide us with a purpose built building and new play ground for our children to enjoy and explore!

Welcoming Environment
We welcome all pre-school age children throughout the area into our safe and welcoming environment.  We aim to provide the very best service for your child and pride ourselves on our solid reputation and reliable teachers. We have created a happy and respectful environment for children of all cultures so they can experience a sense of belonging and understanding of their bicultural heritage of New Zealand.

​Nurturing Growth
We encourage and support your child to extend their learning ​utilising our fantastic resources and facilities, including our popular adventure playground!  We have a variety of activities on offer - all of which are setup to help educate and inspire your children so they can become confident learners and increase their skill sets.

Branching Out
We are traditional in many ways, allowing your child to benefit from a consistent, balanced programme that provides both planned learning experiences and free play.  We encourage and empower children to confidently develop new interests.  We encourage independence and self-management skills so that your child is well prepared for any school they may go onto.

Check out our latest review from the Education Review Office!

The ERO reports provide information for parents and communities about each service’s strengths and next steps for development.  Our last review took place in March 2019 and is available for you to view via the ERO website.

Here's some snippets of what they had to say about us...

"Children’s learning is fostered through play in meaningful and authentic contexts."

"Teacher’s support children to follow and creatively explore their interests."

"There is a calm, settled environment where curiosity, independence and self-management skills are
promoted."

"Teachers notice, recognise and respond to children’s interests and support them to extend their
understanding and learning. Learning and progress is celebrated though informative and well-
constructed learning portfolios."

"Te ao Māori experiences are offered within the curriculum."

"Literacy is emphasised in the daily programme. Mathematical learning is enhanced through
meaningful and interesting opportunities."

"Successful transitions to school are supported by effective partnerships between the preschool,
families and local schools."
