Nursery School

Rangiora High School Nursery School is a long established community-based early childhood education provider situated adjacent to Rangiora High School. The Nursery School was established in 1938. A management committee of parents and staff administers the purpose-built centre. They are directly responsible to the Rangiora High School Nursery School Trust which reports to the Board of Trustees of Rangiora High School.

Children aged from three and a half to five years old from rural and urban areas of North Canterbury attend one and sometimes two days a week. Some of these children also attend other centres.

The centre philosophy emphasises the provision of a safe, warm and welcoming environment and of developmentally appropriate programmes based on the principles of Te Whariki, the New Zealand Early Childhood Education Curriculum.
