Who are we?

Covenant Kids Preschool is a licensed learning centre for two to five-year-olds. Our preschool is run by the Manukau Christian Charitable Trust in partnership with Covenant Presbyterian Church. We are a family-orientated preschool offering Christian education in a loving, caring environment. There is a strong emphasis on Christian ethics and values which are woven right through the curriculum. We believe in a balance of free play time and formal learning and offer a high teacher/child ratio to enhance optimal learning, safety and well-being.

All our teachers are experienced and are qualified or in training, committed to equip and teach children within the Christian philosophy, combined with the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whaariki.
