Philosophy
Embedded deeply within our teaching practice is a strong influence on respectful practice between parents, teachers and children. We strongly value relationships and strive to build these with each family member. We recognize children’s families as their first teachers. Building strong relationships allows authentic opportunities to know children’s passions, interests and strengths more deeply, therefore allowing us to respond to them and enhance learning outcomes for each individual child.
We are committed to best practice and have a shared passion and value for play-based learning. We provide engaging environments based on children’s interests and have a strong focus on learning dispositions – this allows children plenty of uninterrupted time to explore, inquire, think and learn.
We encourage the involvement of parents and whanau within our centre and embrace our whole school campus as our learning environment, community and family.
The principles of Te Whariki, The NZ Early Childhood Curriculum are at the core of our teaching practice: Empowerment, Holistic Development, Family and Community and Relationships
