We promote growth and development in all our children
Central to Taupo Educational Preschool’s philosophy is the importance of relationships. We aim to develop a partnership with whanau and share the responsibility of promoting growth and development in the children attending. To assist in building this partnership on enrolment each child is allocated a Key Teacher to take personal responsibility for the child’s overall well being.
Our programme is based on Te Whariki, the bicultural Early Childhood Curriculum. We provide opportunities for children to develop knowledge and understanding of the cultural heritages of both partners to the Treaty of Waitangi.
Preschool is open to parents at all times and parent participation is invited and welcomed at a time that will suit each family/whanau.
A healthy, peaceful and sustainable environment
We provide a healthy, peaceful and sustainable environment by encouraging healthy eating and physical development, reducing waste, recycling, reusing and caring for the area around Preschool. Through exploration and connections with the local parks and reserves children develop their knowledge and relationship with Papatuanuku.
The environment provides appropriate and stimulating equipment and resources. Loose Parts are included in all areas of the curriculum. Loose Parts are materials that are open ended and can be used in multiple ways. They spark children’s imagination, support social interaction, creativity and innovation.
