Join Our Whānau
Willowsong Tairāwhiti is a Steiner-inspired kindergarten and Forest playgroup in Gisborne, where we hold childhood as something to be protected, celebrated, and never rushed.
Our kaiako bring warmth, presence, and genuine care to their mahi with tamariki every day, shaped by the slower, nature-based rhythms that guide everything we do, from our daily routines to our seasonal festivals.
If you’re drawn to this kind of work and want to be part of a caring community built on connection, creativity, and deep respect for the beauty of childhood, we’d love to hear from you.
