Where each child is celebrated, and the beauty of childhood is held.
Willowsong is proudly fee-free. We have chosen this path with intention, believing that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the beauty and nourishment of a Steiner early childhood education, regardless of their family's financial circumstances.
In place of fees, we invite whānau to offer a $5 daily koha towards kai. Together, this helps us provide wholesome, seasonal food that is lovingly prepared and shared around the table each day — an important part of the rhythm of kindergarten life, where nourishment, gratitude, and community are woven together.
Like all koha, this contribution is given in a spirit of generosity and reciprocity, never expectation. What matters most is that every child is welcomed with warmth, held in belonging, and free to flourish within our Willowsong community.
Support WillowsongWillowsong Kindergarten is fee-free because we believe every child deserves a gentle, nourishing start, whatever their whānau’s circumstances. Every gift, big or small, helps keep our doors open, our table full of seasonal kai, and our days unhurried and full of wonder. Your support also brings us closer to our dream of a Steiner school for Tairāwhiti, so our tamariki can keep growing in this way of learning.
