Strong community relationships, an engaging curriculum and a commitment to te reo and tikanga Maori has meant Hurupaki Kindergarten won't be seeing the Education Review Office for another four years.
A four year review recognises early childhood education centres the Education Review Office (ERO) is completely confident in and is the highest recommendation that a centre can receive.
ERO visited the school on November 30 last year and head teacher Dene Cheeseman , said they received the report on February 23.
"My team have been together for three years and it's obviously been something we've worked really hard on, creating an environment which meets our community and their needs," she said.
Hurupaki Kindergarten is one of 21 early childhood education centres in Northland on a four year review.
