Welcome to Ruahine Summerhill Early Learning - making a difference through adventure, imagining possibilities, risk taking and fostering the confidence to learn.
Summerhill is Ruahine Kindergarten Association's newest centre, with three huge, purpose-built, extremely well resourced age-specific spaces - our Kowhai, Karaka and Whero rooms.
Our team have created auaha, a magical place for discovering together, and acknowledging the many ways little people can make sense of the world. At Summerhill, the wellbeing of tamariki, whānau and kaiako is nurtured though calm spaces, predictable routines and clear, consistent expectations. Teaching is intentional and celebrates every tamaiti as an individual.
Summerhill's local curriculum comes alive through adventure and exploration, imagining possibilities, taking risks and fostering the confidence to learn. Kaiako use our stunning indoor and outdoor environment to extend on children's working theories through physical activity and gross-motor development, messy and water play, growing and harvesting fruit and veges, messy and water play, sensory exploration, and innovative thinking through construction, deconstruction and creativity.
Connections with our local area are strengthening by the day and we have a thriving and enthusiastic parent and whānau community.
Summerhill is open Monday to Friday, 7.30am - 6.00pm, 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).
An hourly charge of $5 applies for tamariki under two years of age. 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 for a copy of our Terms of Trade when you visit.
