About us

Ngā Tamariki Puāwai o Tāmaki | Auckland Kindergarten Association (AKA) has supported early childhood education in Tāmaki Makaurau since 1908. Today, our organisation includes 112 kindergartens and KiNZ centres, and a dedicated Support Services team.


Our bicultural approach is grounded in Te Whāriki and our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Tamariki and whānau are at the heart of our work, and we provide safe, inclusive and enriching learning environments where every tamaiti can develop as a confident and capable learner.


About Marlborough Kindergarten


Our philosophy is centred on the power of play, supporting tamariki to enjoy meaningful learning through discovery, creativity and exploration. As a proud Enviroschool, we incorporate sustainable practices into everyday experiences, encouraging care and curiosity for the natural world. Te reo Māori and tikanga Māori are woven throughout our curriculum, reflecting the unique bicultural identity of Aotearoa.


As our Administrator, you will work alongside a supportive and collaborative kindergarten team and be part of the wider AKA whānau. You will also have opportunities to connect with colleagues across our 112 kindergartens and KiNZ centres throughout Tāmaki Makaurau.
