Welcome to Haleema Kindergarten website

Haleema Kindergarten opened in 2010 as a result of the need for an Islamic education centre. The name Haleema means gentle or mild mannered. This is the basis of our teaching. We have a licence for 40 children from the age of 2 to 5 years old. Children can be placed on our waiting list at any time up to the age of 5 years old. A child can start at 2 years old. Our session times are: 8:30 am - 12:30 pm (this is when the younger ones go home) and 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm (when all children go home).

The kindergarten is a non-profit making organisation. It is a purpose-built centre situated beside the Islamic Centre in Taita, Lower Hutt. It  boasts the multi-cultural and faith diversity and experiences of the teaching team. The staff come from all over the world with heritages from England, India, Maori, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Scotland and South Africa. This makes Haleema Kindergarten a wonderful place to work and learn as it brings together so many cultures under one roof.

Important Announcement

Haleema Kindergarten is permanently closing its doors on 20th Dec 2024 as the last day of operation. The Haleema Kindergarten Trust Board had taken this bitter decision a few months ago and consequently informed the staff and parents about this decision. The closing down process has been placed and the new enrolment of kids has been postponed. We are thankful to our staff who showed dedication in running this centre continuously for 14 years.
