We believe that we are all in this together. Strong partnerships between whanau /parents, and the centre play an important role in children’s learning. We take into consideration the aspirations and learning priorities of hapū, iwi and our community when weaving our curriculum. Te Whāriki , the Early Childhood curriculum is the basis for weaving the design for our curriculum of valued learning with children, parents and whanau.
We believe in the vision underpinning Te Whāriki (2017), that children are competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society. Every child is a unique individual and we value and treasure all children regardless of gender and ethnicity, diversity of ability and learning needs, family structure and values, socio-economic status and religion.
We believe that the bi-cultural heritage of New Zealand is very significant. We acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa, and, are committed to embracing our bi-cultural heritage. We believe that we have a crucial role to play in providing children with culturally responsive environments that support their learning and ensuring that they are provided with equitable opportunities to learn. We appreciate the diverse nature of families in our community and work hard to respect their values and beliefs. We believe in providing a high-quality learning environment that stimulates children and adults to participate in active learning. The emphasis is on providing a child-centered, play based environment that is nurturing, safe, and stimulating.
We believe in supporting children and their whānau to respect and appreciate the natural environment. Children are supported to be respectful towards the environment by contributing to sustainable practices within the Centre. We strive to enrich children’s awareness of the environment and their sense of connection to the natural world around them.
