At Ruahine Manchester Kindergarten, we support your tamariki to become confident, lifelong learners through movement, play, and exploration.

As a proud Enviroschool, tamariki take part in activities that build a strong connection to the land and each other. This includes helping to care for our well-tended edible gardens.

Our teachers help tamariki to follow their interests and grow to be curious and capable. Active movement is part of each day. This supports brain development, learning, and overall health.

We work closely with our community, including Manchester Street School, to support smooth and positive transitions when your tamariki is ready for school.

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!
