About Us
Since its inception as PN Free Kindergarten Association in 1949, Ruahine Kindergartens has been a leading provider of quality early childhood education. Over 60 years experience means we know what works, but are by no means set in our ways. We pride ourselves on valuing innovation, excellence, community and integrity and undergo continual development to offer your child the most up-to-date educational experience.
All member kindergartens are subject to three-yearly Education Review Office (ERO) reviews. Our kindergartens receive extremely positive reports. To view these reports please visit www.ero.govt.nz
