Early Childhood Education and Care:
Ranfurly Primary School before and after school care services employ early and middle childhood educators that are passionate about providing an educational, nurturing and fun environment, in which children from birth to 12 years of age can flourish.
Our child carers provide quality care to all children at all times.

We believe that caring for and educating children is not just a job, but a rewarding career where you really do make a difference in a child's life. Staff are committed and innovative people who believe in the value of play.
