Nature-inspired, Welcoming, Whānau Connections, Large Outdoors.

Ruahine Mill Street Early Learning is a safe, loving space where your tamariki can grow, explore, and enjoy learning every day.

Our open-door policy and strong connections with whānau create a welcoming space for everyone. We offer a nurturing space for children from infancy through to preschool.

Tamariki can explore our large outdoor area and interact with some animal friends. This helps them grow in confidence and learn to care for people, animals, and the environment.

With aroha, inclusion, and respect guiding us, we create a home away from home where your child will thrive.

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!
