Welcome to Kinma
Kinma encourages children to become flexible thinkers and independent, self-directed learners in a non-competitive environment which respects and nurtures the individuality of its members. Kinma was established in 1972 as a non-denominational, co-educational and non-profit Primary, Preschool and Playgroup.
Learning at Kinma
At Kinma the education programme caters equally for all aspects of development; social, emotional and academic.
It is the aim of Kinma to foster the development of children to be independent, self-motivated learners and socially responsible members of the community.
Building relationships
More than any other skill, the building of genuine relationships with others - those with similar and dissimilar values - is vital for our children.
Communication, incorporating social justice, inter-cultural understanding and democratic process, are at the heart of this process. At Kinma we immerse our students in the creation of a democratic based community.
The importance of play in our curriculum
Play is predominant in the early years at Kinma. It is seen as a leading factor in the child's development. Central to the success of play is the child's self-control.
From play, children learn how to behave in social situations that are acceptable. Since play is child-centred and directed, the children learn self-discipline and self-motivation.
Join us for Playgroup
Playgroup is every Monday during term time from 9:30am - 11:30am in our brand new community meeting space. We welcome everyone with children from 0-5 to come along and experience the joy and magic of our wonderful playgroup.

The Friendship Seed Project
We believe that people who are friends care for each other so the more friends there are, the more people are cared for and the less people are harmed. As a symbol of children's friendships all over the world, we are creating the world’s longest friendship band and hope you will join us in its creation.
