Welcome to Dorie Community       Preschool

 

Dorie Community Preschool is a community based early childhood centre that was opened in August 2009, built by our community for our community.   We are licenced for 36 tamariki (children) with up to 10 of these being Under 2's kiwi classroom.  In our unique rural setting, our purpose-built centre sits within our local farming community and alongside the local primary school.

​

We understand the importance of quality care for tamariki and provide a warm caring environment where they can explore, discover and build on individual interests in an inviting learning environment.  

​

The teachers at Dorie Community Preschool recognise that parents are the child’s first teachers and we work alongside them to establish meaningful relationships that allow families to feel welcome and assured that the aspirations that they hold for their child are valued and respected.
