A little about us

PLEASE NOTE- THIS CENTRE IS CURRENTLY FULL AND NOT TAKING ENROLMENTS AT THIS TIME


Our education programmes like everything we do, are guided by a strong sense of values. This means our tutors and teachers are qualified to New Zealand standards and will treat you with caring, respect and honesty, and behave responsibly towards you and your needs.

We aim to provide an enriching, open, loving and learning environment which encourages children to work alongside their peers.

Our programmes incorporate the principles of Te Whariki – the Early Childhood Curriculum which focuses on the individual child and the relationships they form with people around them.

Staff to child ratios are in accordance with the standards set by the Ministry of Education. and in most cases we will exceed these requirements.

Bilingual Teaching Curriculum

Te Whare Kohungahunga o Y Tamariki is committed to building bilingual and bi-cultural learning environments for tamariki aged 0 – 6 years, that promotes, respects and acknowledges the relationships of both dual partners of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We offer age appropriate learning spaces 0 – 18 months where the learning journey of your tamaiti begins, immersed with aroha (love), Manaakitanga (caring) and whanaungatanga.  Ngā tamariki are provided with a safe space to grow, explore, achieve their milestones and are cared for by knowledgeable Kaiako.

Tamariki 18 months – 3 years are encouraged and supported to be socially, emotionally and physically confident building upon their sense of Whakamana and Manaakitanga.    Tamariki continue their journey of discovering ‘Ko wai au” (Who am I) and are given opportunities to become aware of their own capabilities.

Tamariki 3 years plus experience a fun, challenging and engaging learning environment that supports and encourages the development of skills and knowledge for preparation / transition to kura/school.
