Boasting a beautiful, nature inspired indoor learning environment and a large, spacious outdoor space, we have endless opportunities to explore who we are as learners and contributors, what our bodies are capable of and how to engage with other people, animals and the world around us… all while having fun!

At our centre tamariki and whánau are at the heart of everything we do and we value and encourage our families to participate and contribute in all aspects of their children’s early learning journey. 

With space for infants to pre-school, Ruahine Mill Street Early Learning meets the needs of your young family right up to school.

Our centre is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 3.30pm, and closed between Christmas and New Year, as well as 13th January, 30th May, 7th – 10th July and 24th October when teachers are engaged in professional development. (Please note there is no fee charged when the centre is closed). 

Please contact our Centre Manager to arrange a visit – contact details below.

What Our Whānau Say 

"The team at Ruahine Mill Street Kindergarten are truly passionate about children and their education, no child is treated as a number or a dollar sign.
All children are encouraged to be themselves and the team celebrate each child's uniqueness, they are not expected to fit into a predetermined mold.
They are offered ample opportunities to explore the world around them. The children are encouraged to try new things, with love and support from the staff and other children. No child is pushed to do something they are not happy about, everyone's choices are respected.
It is a truly nurturing and welcoming environment for both children and their families.
I only wish I had have put my children in their care sooner." :)

"We're second-generation Mill Street Kindergarten and wouldn't dream of sending our children anywhere else, it's home away from home with cool education experiences and great for making friends - including mums."

"It's exciting that Mill Street has earned the Healthy Heart Award"
