Our Philosophy
The YMCA Childcare Centre fosters a zest for lifelong learning.
Our dedicated teaching team provides a quality environment focused on teaching and learning.
We incorporate the children’s, values, beliefs, culture and home life into our daily curriculum. We value our strong
partnerships between children, families’ educators, and our community.
The unique place of Māori as Tangata Whenua (People of the land) and our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) is visible with opportunities for bicultural learning and holistic development.
We offer a safe and nurturing environment that encourages our children to develop their interests, imagination and individuality, through active movement, free play and exploration.
The four values of the YMCA: Caring (Atawhaitia), Respect (Whakanui I te Tangata), Honesty (Te Whakapono) and Responsibility (Te Awenga Atu) are integral to our daily practice
