Why Us
A young boy and woman are working together at a wooden outdoor craft table, surrounded by various craft supplies including puzzle pieces, glue, and tools, with a playground in the background.

Rural Connections, Individuality, Open Door Policy, Enviroschool.

At Ruahine Pahiatua Early Learning, every child is celebrated for who they are.

We have two learning areas. Our Under 2’s area is a home-like space to support the early development of our infants. Our Over 2’s area has lots of room for tamariki to learn, grow, and connect.

Children are supported to explore their own learning journey and gain confidence through play. Our friendly team encourage tamariki to take safe risks, challenge themselves and show kindness every day.

We are a proud Enviroschool and have a lush garden that provides the perfect environment for children to learn about their role as caretakers of the land.

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!
