Our philosophy
Our centre philosophy is underpinned by the NZ Curriculum- Te Whariki.
Teachers will participate in open communication by listening and talking with parents and whanau, forming a partnership to achieve best outcomes for our children. Our teaching team believes in providing a home-away-from home atmosphere by being welcoming, caring, passionate and sensitive to the individual needs of each child. Our practice includes being consistent and professional in providing positive experiences and outcomes for the children.
Children will be encouraged to be active risk takers, developing their confidence and self- help skills. They will be acknowledged as being their own unique person having their own physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and social qualities.
Our learning environment is underpinned by the principles of Mannkitanga; care and respect for all people, places and things.
Stimulating routines and opportunities for fun activities will be provided encouraging children to develop their own working theories and extending their interests and independence.
We acknowledge and respect the diversity of the individual child by empowering the love of learning for their future journey.
