Where tamariki play, learn, and grow
A small, community-owned preschool in Manunui for children aged two to six. Warm, play-based and just a little bit fun!
A small preschool with a big heart
Rata St has been part of the Taumarunui community for over 30 years. We are independent and not-for-profit, so our focus is on the children and whānau who walk through our doors, not on a head office. We know our families, we know our tamariki, and everyone belongs here.
We play. We learn. We grow.
Ka tākaro tātou. Ka ako tātou. Ka tipu tātou.
Play.
Ka tākaro tātou.
Play is at the heart of learning. It is how children explore, create and make sense of the world around them.
Learn.
Ka ako tātou.
Guided by Te Whāriki, each child leads their own discovery as a confident, curious and capable learner.
Grow.
Ka tipu tātou.
Confidence, friendships and a strong sense of who they are, ready for their next step into school.
Ready for school, and a really good time getting there
We want children to leave Rata St feeling confident, capable, curious and ready for their next step. We value every chance for our tamariki to connect with the wider world around them.
