Inclusive, Collaboration, School Connection, Kaitiakitanga.

Ruahine Cloverlea Kindergarten is a warm and welcoming place where your child can grow, learn, and have fun.

We value strong relationships with whānau, local schools (next to Cloverlea School), and the natural world. Our play-based and child-led programme encourages tamariki to be curious, creative, and confident.

We use a tuakana-teina approach where older children help guide younger ones, building empathy and leadership.

We celebrate our bicultural heritage and weave te reo Māori into daily learning. This is a place where your tamariki can proudly be themselves and will feel like they truly belong.

It takes a village to raise a child – find yours with us. Pop in anytime — or if you'd prefer to book a visit, get in touch and let’s organise your free tour today or enrol!

Why whānau choose us as their village

  • "My daughter loves kindy; it is the only place she has large group social interactions. The variety of play and chances for language development are invaluable.”

  • “As a stay-at-home mum, it is a chance for my child to venture out ‘on his own’ away from me, gain some independence, experience new things, meet new people, and learn lots through play!”

  • “The children have learned a lot. Very impressed with all the hard work the teachers do, my children love kindy and all the teachers.”

  • “Great teachers, safe environment and lots of different opportunities.”
