Relationships are the foundation of our practices and the culture of Pīwaka Early Learning Centre. We value all interactions that take place and the learning experience that come with these interactions.
Through regular reflections we are able to analyse and critique our practices. This enables us to adapt to the ever changing and diverse needs of the children in our care. We are a community of learners that recognise that not only children benefit from collaborations and consultation, but families and teachers alike.
At Pīwaka we believe that the genuine relationships we build with others (adults, children, and whānau) are paramount to the quality of our service.
These relationships are developed through regular reflection, ensuring that all our interactions within our community are meaningful, inclusive, respectful, reciprocal and understanding.
Partnerships with parents/whānau are integral to children's holistic development. We therefore have an expectation that families will embrace and participate in their child’s learning environment. We endeavour to create an environment that celebrates and values cultural diversification along with the unique learning styles of all children in our care.
