Our Philosophy
We acknowledge our commitment to Tangata Whenuatanga and to the histories, heritages and cultures of our diverse, multi-cultural community
At Albany Community Preschool we provide a welcoming, fun, safe, caring, loving and stimulating environment that encourages children to build confidence and independence skills, while learning through meaningful play. We recognise the importance of a secure and nurturing environment that is respectful and empowering for each child and work to provide a sense of belonging. We explore and extend children’s strengths and interests, which are supported and valued on their learning journey.
Teachers and parents/whānau engage in open conversations with children’s learning and interests.
