What People
Are Saying

We asked some of our Kiwi Keepers on Te Ika-a-Maui what they think about the program.

“The children very much enjoy the program. They are eager to check the class timetable to see if we are doing Kiwi Keepers that day. It's an amazing program and I feel incredibly lucky to be offering it to them.”
