Our Philosophy
At Kauri Learners we believe in creating a warm and welcoming environment where children,families and staff are included and respected in the daily life of our centre. We acknowledge each child an individual, supporting their emotional and social needs,empowering them to build on their self confidence,self-esteem and sense of belonging through a trusting environment. The Kari is a prized and important tree in our area,and the word KAURI from Kauri Learners is an acronym for our expectations and values standing for everything we aim to equip young learners with- grow tall,proud and strong. The expectations and values here at Kauri Learners are also the behavior expectations for Mercury Bay Area School, which form the foundations for the next step of the children's learning journey, or wherever they may go to school.
Our aesthetically pleasing environment is a stimulating and challenging child centered space, where infants,toddlers and young children are encouraged to make their own choices of self directed learning and play. The environment will reflect each child's learning and achievements through learning journals and current documentation displayed displayed around each classroom. The role of the physical environment is referred to as the third teacher, and its role is to inform and engage each individual child. We encourage and support each child's knowledge,skills and disposition to the different experiences within this rich learning environment.
We have an emergent curriculum that encourages and empowers children to learn through free play both independently and alongside their peers and educators. We recognize that each unique with different needs, interest, strengths and rates of development.
