The Kirwee Tree House is a modern purpose-built learning centre located in the heart of Kirwee. We are a fully catered centre meaning that you only need to drop of your child with a change of clothes. We provide meals, nappies, and wipes.
Although our centre is brand new our team of teachers have years of experience and specialist training between them. This ensures that our tamariki will have a safe, fun and quality introduction to learning.
With a carefully thought out primary school transition programme we promise to make your Childs journey to 'big school' as seamless and stress free as possible.
We base our curriculum on Te Whariki, empowering our tamariki to become competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society. Our values are based around kindness with a strong focus on sustainability, doing our best to preserve our environment for future generations and act as guardians of our beautiful country and incredible eco-systems.
Centre Philosophy
Kirwee Tree House Learning Centre promotes a sense of belonging and a feeling of homeliness within a fun and interactive learning environment – Your family’s home away from home.
We establish and enhance learning foundations through reciprocal relationships – relationships rich in trust, respect and communication – between teachers, children, parents and whanau.
We understand that the transition from preschool to primary school can be daunting, so with a strong transition and partnership programme with Kirwee Model Primary School we aim to make this transition easy and exciting.
We value children's creativity, curiosity and exploration of the world around us. We encourage children to wonder, to question, and to embrace their learning journey therefore developing competent and confident learners free to discover at their own pace.
