Welcome to willowsong

Seeking a nurturing kindergarten near Gisborne, rooted in rhythm and reverence?

Willowsong Kindergarten in Patutahi has limited spaces available for children aged 3–5.

Nestled in a quiet rural setting, our small, intentional group offers a warm and unhurried beginning to the journey of learning and life. Only a short drive from Gisborne city and centrally placed for surrounding rural communities, Willowsong is a peaceful haven where childhood is cherished and imagination can truly unfold.

As an affordable, community-based not-for-profit kindergarten, we are dedicated to making meaningful early childhood education accessible to all.

Our days are guided by gentle rhythm, nature’s seasons, and the quiet beauty of purposeful play. Here, tamariki are met with care and wonder — building foundations of confidence, connection, and joyful discovery that will carry them into the next chapter of their lives.
