Childcare options in Kimbolton

Welcome to our beautiful rural early learning centre in the heart of Kimbolton.

Ruahine Kimbolton Early Learning offers a unique and wonderful, rural learning experience. We offer a nurturing home-from-home environment for tamariki, and a warm welcome for whānau.

Our environment is well-resourced, age appropriate and stimulating, while our playground and gardens offer an inspiring space for fun and learning across all aspects of the curriculum.  We have a strong affinity with nature and plan the rhythm of our day to include time both inside and outside.

We have strong and reciprocal relationships with surrounding schools and our community,  a thriving 'Friends of Kimbolton Early Learning' parent group, excursions and regular visits from entertainers and those willing to share their skills and knowledge with tamariki.

We value and nurture the partnership we have with families and work together to ensure tamariki have the very best experience and learn by extending their own interests and dispositions.

Our centre is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 3.30pm, and closed between Christmas and New Year, plus five days per year while teachers participate in professional development (dates to be advised on enrolment; please note there is no fee charged when the centre is closed).

Three, four and five year old's may attend our centre up to 30 hours at no charge, and two year old's may attend up to 10 hours at no charge - ask our Centre Manager for a copy of our Terms of Trade.
