Our Environment
Picture a place where your little one gets to explore, create, and learn through play and collaboration. In our Reggio Emilia-inspired centre, our Kaiako act as facilitators, guiding children's learning and supporting their interests and ideas. The environment is designed to be sensory-rich, with natural materials and open-ended resources. tamariki get to be curious and experiment, discovering new things every day! This approach recognises that every child is unique and capable of learning in their own way. So why not join in on the fun and watch your child grow into a confident, curious learner where we value your aspirations as the child’s first teachers building responsive reciprocal partnerships with whānau.
Rooms:
We believe it is important in being able to provide an environment which is enriched by “loving, kindness, nurturing and responsive care’ which switches on and releases children’s full emotional, intellectual, and spiritual potential as we provide an authentic environment of respectful practice guided by the RIE philosophy of Magda Gerber.
As your child transitions to toddlers, you will see increased independence and more curious questions. We provide a curious environment where we look through the lens of Rose Pere’s Te Wheke model for our project learning. Giving children an environment where they can express themselves through 100 languages.
