Here at Pukeko ELC we provide a home away from home for children aged from three month’s to school age.
We ensure a safe, caring, respectful, fun, and natural environment with excellent qualified staff ratios.
Our aim is to nurture happy, confident, and curious learners and to install a life long love of learning within them.
Our Philosophy
At Pukeko ELC we are inspired and influenced by the Reggio Emilia and RIE approach. We believe it is important for Tamariki and their whanau to feel welcomed and develop a sense of belonging and Aroha through open and regular communication. Kaiako acknowledge and respect parent's aspirations for their child, and value community contributions to the planning and curriculum.
We strive to provide a nurturing, respectful, and caring environment rich in open-ended and intelligent resources. As part of our sustainable journey, we aim to be more eco-conscious and encourage children to build an appreciation for nature and papatūānuku. Our learning environment is intentionally designed to create a sense of wonder and curiosity so that Tamariki can be challenged, develop dispositions, problem-solve, and become capable and confident learners.
Our curriculum incorporates bicultural and multicultural experiences which acknowledge the partnership of Te Tiriti O Waitangi and values the unique place of Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand. Te Reo and Tikanga are respectfully interwoven through our curriculum.
Learning is ignited for Tamariki when their interests are captured, supported, enhanced, and co-constructed by Kaiako who listen and follow each child's developmental needs. Kaiako respect that each child is unique and has the right to be an individual or to be a valued participant of a group.
At Pukeko ELC, we see all Tamariki as a taonga and want them to reach their fullest potential while developing a lifelong love for learning.
