               COVID19-  Level 2.            
                  Auckland is Level 3 All Our Kindergartens Are Level 2. 

           Below is a reminder of what level 2 looks like for us all.

● You can still continue to go to work and school, with physical         distancing.
● Wear masks if you can in public.
● No more than 100 people at gatherings, including weddings, birthdays, funerals and tangihanga.
● Businesses can open to the public if they are following public health guidance, which include physical distancing
and record keeping.
● People at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, for example those with underlying medical conditions and
old people are encouraged to take additional precautions when leaving home.
● Practice good hygiene - stay home if sick.
Good hygiene practices
Good hygiene practices will continue to be a priority at all levels as the best way to minimize potential spread of COVID-19.
Hand washing
Cough and sneeze etiquette
Cleaning surfaces
Staying home if sick The vast majority of children and young people with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 will not
have COVID-19.
Symptoms of COVID-19 can include new onset or worsening of one or more of the following:
Cough
Fever
Sore throat
Runny nose
Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing
Temporary loss of smell
These symptoms are similar to a range of other illnesses, like influenza. Having them doesn’t mean a person has
COVID-19, but you should remain vigilant.
Thank you

Encouraging Growth, development and education through play ...

With current research showing the importance of the early years, finding an early education environment that suits you and your family is extremely important.

So how will South Otago Kindergarten support your child's growth, development and education?

Within our South Otago Kindergartens we strive to provide fun, challenging and exciting opportunities where children can explore, discover, be risk takers  develop independence and social skills within a caring, supportive environment.

We encourage participation and interactions with families/whanau and our communities.

Our Programme

Working through Te Whaariki, our national curriculum, children develop and grow in all areas of learning from literacy and numeracy to science and technology through planned play experiences.

We are a not for profit organisation, and have been an important part of the South Otago community for over 50 years. With an open-door policy, you are welcome to come and experience the fun and exciting family atmosphere that our Kindergartens have to offer.
