Stability, Nurturing, Community Connections, Responsive.

At Ruahine Linton Camp Early Learning, we believe that when you nurture the seed, it will blossom.

In our warm space, secure relationships and responsive teaching help your tamariki feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

Our infant space is calm and consistent, where small wonders can be seen, heard, and felt every day. Tamariki over two enjoy a rich learning environment where play, exploration, and friendships grow. Our teaching grows their love of learning through child-led experiences.

We have strong community connections, including our neighbours, Linton Army Camp, Linton Camp School, and Ruahine Linton Kindergarten.

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!
