Welcome to Ruahine Milson Kindergarten where every child is supported to achieve their learning potential through a rich mix of spontaneous and structured play.
We offer a child-centred programme driven by children's strengths, interests, creativity and knowledge. Each child is encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, respecting their environment and the people in it.
At Ruahine Milson Kindergarten we have a rich environment with oral language and literacy embedded in many areas of the curriculum. Our teachers work alongside families in sharing strategies to support children, lending picture books for home. This sets well alongside our continued work on building children's social competence, and strengthens relationships between kindergarten and home.
Our experienced and enthusiastic teachers welcome parents, whānau and members of the wider community to participate and share their knowledge, and excursions into our community happen regularly.
Our environment is also a place for fun, forging friendships and learning about sustainability and caring for the world around us.
Electronic portfolios of children's learning are shared with whānau, and children are encouraged to incorporate concepts of literacy, numeracy and science into their everyday kindergarten activities, making learning meaningful and relevant to them. We look forward to meeting you and your child as we journey into learning together.
