We believe every child deserves the freedom to climb trees, get muddy, care for animals, and discover the world through real experiences.Set on 3.5 acres between Feilding and Palmerston North, Country Horizons is a unique rural early learning centre where children have the space to learn, play and grow at their own pace.
About Country Horizons
Country Horizons is purpose-built to give children the best of both worlds — a nurturing early learning environment combined with the freedom of country life.
Inside, our thoughtfully designed learning spaces encourage creativity, curiosity and imagination through dramatic play, construction, art, discovery, literacy and sensory experiences. Outside, children enjoy over 650m² of playgrounds, gardens, bike tracks, sand and dirt play, carpentry areas and wide open spaces where learning happens naturally every day.
We believe children learn best through hands-on experiences, meaningful relationships and opportunities to explore the world around them with confidence.
Our rural setting is at the heart of everything we do. Every afternoon, children spend time in our farmyard caring for animals, helping with feeding routines and learning about the responsibility that comes with looking after living things.
Children are naturally curious, and we believe that curiosity should lead the way. Our teachers create an environment where children can develop their own ideas, solve problems, take age-appropriate risks and build confidence through play.
We value simple childhood experiences that build resilience, independence, kindness and practical life skills. Through nurturing relationships and outdoor play, children develop confidence, respect for others and a lifelong appreciation for nature.
