Tokoroa Childcare Centre is a community-based centre situated beside Tokoroa High School. It is licensed for 47 children including 12 who are aged under two.
The centre is owned and governed by a not-for-profit incorporated society representing parents, staff and the community (the Ark committee). Daily management of the centre is the responsibility of the operations and curriculum managers. Staff reflect their community and the cultural backgrounds of children at the centre. Seventy-five per cent of staff have early childhood education qualifications.
The Ark committee is currently managing a building project to provide designated learning areas for three age-based groups of children. Until now, there have been two designated learning areas.
The centre's philosophy is based on Christian values that celebrate life, people and events. It also promotes life-long learning, and respect for each child as an individual learner. It states that teachers will provide a challenging, stimulating, aesthetically pleasing environment that encourages exploration and discovery, building positive relationships, valuing diverse cultures, and celebrating tuakana teina relationships.
