Why choose Rise to Shine?
We are a Christian preschool inspired to respect, serve, care and prepare children of all cultures to thrive in their God-given strengths. We collaborate with mātua, whānau to instill in each tamiti the desire to learn. We strive to provide well resourced designated learning areas in our indoor and outdoor spaces which are set up to enhance children’s interests and curiosity. We utilize the natural surroundings to inspire our tamariki to explore and learn to strengthen the skills needed to develop the foundation for success in school and life. We believe in encouraging positive attitudes through experiences in physical, social, emotional, intellectual and cultural development for each tamiti.
