Glenshea Kindergarten is located in the Raukawa iwi area, in the beautiful town of Putāruru. We encourage and support our tamariki to learn a tōna wā (in their own time), with support from our experienced kaiako.

We have an inviting, well-resourced environment that encourages tamariki-initiated play. Our passion is to support our tamariki to problem solve for themselves and with their peers. Whānau are able to access a friendly environment, where they feel comfortable to stay with their tamaiti, meet other parents and talk with kaiako.

The majority of our whānau hear about us from the wider community. We pride ourselves on the reputation we hold within Putāruru. We also offer a unique experience of kōhanga ngahere, where our eight eldest tamariki go out into the bush (Jim Barnett Reserve) each week to climb higher, explore, imagine, observe, listen, be resilient, wonder why, get messy, test boundaries, take responsible risks, make new friendships and learn to respect Papatūānuku.

Nau mai haere mai, our door is always open, come in and see us any time.
