New Kindy at Stoke
Stoke boasts a beautiful new kindergarten – the third built by the Nelson Free Kindergarten Association in four years. The building, the interior of which is airy and spacious, is set in a fine level section. Facilities, both outdoor and inside, should gladden every child's heart. These pictures were taken at the official opening ceremony.
