Why Choose Playhouse Kindergarten?
Playhouse Kindergarten is more than just a school, it’s a warm, inclusive community where your child’s potential is recognized and nurtured from the very start. We offer a unique environment where differences are celebrated, not merely accommodated. Here’s why families across Ongata Rongai and beyond choose us:
Inclusive Education
Playhouse Kindergarten stands as a model of inclusion, where children of all abilities, backgrounds, and learning styles are welcomed. Learning is individualized, classrooms are accessible, and neurodiversity is embraced. Inclusion isn’t an added feature—it is the foundation of every experience.
Holistic, Play-Based Learning
Rooted in the belief that children learn best through play, the curriculum is designed to engage cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development through interactive and sensory-rich experiences. Every activity—whether academic or artistic—is approached with purpose and joy.
Qualified, Compassionate Educators
The staff are not just certified, they are mission-driven. With regular training in trauma-informed care, special education, and inclusive teaching methods, educators at Playhouse act as guides, co-learners and allies in every child’s learning journey.
Early Intervention & Specialized Support

Purposeful Environments

Family & Community Partnership
Strong collaboration with parents, guardians, and external therapists is central to Playhouse’s model. Regular communication, shared goal-setting, and involvement in school life make families active stakeholders in their children’s success.
What parents say about us
When we brought our son to Playhouse Kindergarten, he was shy and struggled to communicate. Within just a few months, we saw him blossom into a confident, expressive, and joyful child. The inclusive environment and patient, loving teachers have made all the difference. We feel truly blessed to be part of this community.
Our daughter has special sensory needs, and we had a hard time finding a school that could accommodate her. Playhouse has exceeded every expectation. From the sensory rooms to the therapy support and understanding staff, she finally feels safe and excited to go to school every day.
