Every year the At Our Heart Awards bring our Kidsfirst values to life.

The Kidsfirst Kindergartens At Our Heart Awards recognise the kindergartens, early learning centres and individuals who epitomise our core values: Inspiring, Passionate, Proud, Engaged, Whānau, plus the Innovation: Health and Safety Award.

Announcement of the Award winners is a particular highlight of the Kidsfirst annual AGM. It's an event that not only celebrates our achievements as an organisation but is also a great chance for teachers, kindergarten parent representatives, life members and Board Members to catch up and become inspired by all of the wonderfully creative initiatives going on within our kindergarten network.
