Welcome!
The Rangiora Nursery School is a preschool that has been teaching children in North Canterbury since 1938. We are community based and non-profit; meaning all funds raised are reinvested into the Nursery School.
Our play areas are well resourced, and we have a large outdoor area and a spacious indoor play area.
Our experienced and caring staff are all fully registered and we have higher than Ministry regulation adult to child ratio.
Rangiora Nursery School is run by a Volunteer Board of Trustees, made up of past and present parents. We value family involvement and participation, and have an open-door policy. We also have a unique relationship with Rangiora High School, with reciprocal learning opportunities between the two schools.
Come and visit us to see what Rangiora Nursery School is all about; we would love to see you!
