Ranui Kindergarten

“Ranui kindly has been apart of my whanau and wider whanau lives for over 20 years, an the time shared with each child has always been whanau vibes. All the kaiako that have come and gone over the years all share the same core values and teaching, aroha, manaaki and whanaungata. My own daughters have all had wonderful experiences here and the bond continues well after they leave. Our children may leave the building but they never leave the hearts of those who help shape their first experience in education. I will always recommend Ranui kindergarten to anyone, letting them know you're not just joining a kindly your joining a family. Love and appreciate your passion efforts kindness corrective practices and most of all your time. Nga Mihi You're biggest cheerleader 💪😍”

“There are truly no words that can fully express how grateful I am for the incredible team at Rānui Kindergarten. From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond to support my daughter, especially with her speech delay. The aroha, patience, and dedication they’ve shown has made such a positive impact on her confidence, development, and sense of belonging. Every kaiako there treats each child with such genuine care and respect, and it shows in the nurturing environment they’ve created. My daughter absolutely thrives there not just academically, but emotionally and socially too. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for them; they are deeply invested in each child's growth and wellbeing. Rānui Kindergarten is a true taonga in our community. I can’t recommend them enough to any whānau looking for a place where their child will be supported, celebrated, and empowered. Ngā mihi nui to the whole team you’ve made such a difference in our lives. Ellice Thomas”

“Rānui Kindergarten has been a second home for my daughter, Maiden. From the moment we stepped through the gates, I knew she was in the right place. The kaiako are warm, welcoming, and genuinely connected with each child — and I mean each. Most tamariki have one favourite teacher, but Maiden has built strong bonds with all of them, which speaks volumes about the love and manaakitanga in this space. Since starting at Rānui Kindy, she’s come out of her shell — her confidence, creativity and independence have all grown beautifully. I’ve seen her voice become stronger, her imagination flourish, and her pride in her culture deepen. The team do more than just “teach” — they uplift and nurture the whole child. Every day is filled with meaningful learning, fun exploration, and aroha. The outdoor area is stunning, the routines are calm and supportive, and the whānau feel is real. I'm so grateful for everything Rānui Kindy has done for Maiden. She's thriving — and I honestly believe the foundation she’s getting here will set her up for life. Ngā mihi nui to the beautiful kaiako — your mahi matters, and it’s changing lives. — Mum of Maiden”
