Kia Ora and Welcome to Kids Count Tawa – The Griffin School

We are a heart-led team with a home away from home intimate centre, we often get first impressions comments like “wow this place feels amazing”.

We are privileged to work alongside He Huarahi Tamariki, a school for teenage Parents and help make a positive difference every day, since April 2017.

We have one large open space with 3 designated areas catering for children’s individual needs. With opportunities for siblings to spend time together. Small teams of two teachers working closely together to ensure every child and Teacher enjoy their day and learning from each other. Great ratios lending itself to great intentional learning.
