Core Values

"Our Mission is to nourish our seeds to grow as life-long learners with Positive Mind, and Grit"

Whanau/Family

Parents are the children's first teachers. A strong working relationship alongside parents/whanau is essential to to children's wellbeing and enhances their early education (Whanau tangata).

Respect: 

We respect children's rights and who they are. We will treat all people how we would like to be treated. We will respect and value our learning environments (Ngāhononga).

Exploration:

This is how children make sense of the world, with their experience they learn (Mana aoturoa). "Learning is an experience. Everything else is just information." (Albert Einstein)

Passion:

The Seedlings team are passionate about creating and enhancing exciting learning opportunities and inspiring lifelong learning (Ako).

Natural Environment:

Seedlings Preschool will always provide a natural classroom without walls and ceilings for children to explore and adventure freely while developing an ethic of care (Kaitiakitanga) for the environment.
