Wharerangi Philosophy
Our children and whānau will belong to a calm, engaging and colourful community where children learn through play supported by teachers who are nurturing and passionate.
Calm is a mindful atmosphere that nurtures the senses.
Engaging is the freedom to interact with people, places and things.
A colourful community is connecting with others: a place for all.
A nurturing teacher builds intimate relationships while holding the space.
A passionate teacher is an evolving teacher.
Play is Learning
Play is the work of children which nurtures and grows the whole child.
Play is an essential part of a child's social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. At Wharerangi Kindergarten play is a vital part of every child's development. It allows them to test ideas, work through uncertainties, explore social interactions and make sense of the world around them.
Play has no predetermined outcome or time limit. It is not about an end product but about a process. It's the exploration of ideas that is crucial.
Play is children's work.
