We value Whānaungatanga - A family focus
The Learning Lane is a family focused business and we pride ourselves on offering a family focus/whānaungatanga. We recognise and value all cultures and incorporate the Treaty of Waitangi with Te Reo Māori and Tikanga. Each family’s culture is important and we will endeavour to understand whānau aspirations, needs and beliefs for their child.
We value the love of learning - Ako
We believe all who come here are unique with diverse skills and capabilities and are lifelong learners. We will promote education and learning through a variety of experiences that will enhance each person’s values, dispositions and funds of knowledge.
We value challenging and growing
We understand that development occurs within a stimulating environment where there are experiences and opportunities that encourage thinking, problem solving, reasoning and experimenting. As we are challenged we grow to become competent, capable learners. As we become competent and capable learners we gain new skills and increase our funds of knowledge.
We value listening and responding
Communication is vital in building strong reciprocal relationships. We believe all should feel valued, respected and loved during their time at TLC and ensure that voices are valued and listened to. We communicate by expressing our feelings, needs, interests and opinions with each other in respectful, positive ways. We then listen, understand and respond. Listening is an expression of love and respect and responding will help meet the needs of those we communicate with. Listening helps us plan for learning and ways we respond.
Caring, respecting and nurturing
Through working together each of us will endeavour to nurture and build up each other through having an understanding, caring and forgiving heart. We will look for the best in each other by respecting one another’s beliefs, belongings and cultures, thus building a sense of security and self-confidence. We will promote this to benefit our family, friends and wider community so that as we care, nurture and respect others, we will learn to respect and take care of ourselves.
