Philosophy

Our philosophy reflects connectedness and partnerships between kaiako/teachers, children, whānau, and the community. We strive to meet the needs of individuals learning, development, interests, and strengths. Partnerships with all families are of upmost importance in helping children to build on learning from home. Early childhood settings provide children with opportunities for new learning to be fostered and connected between the centre and the home. Children's well-being will be fostered in order to support their sense of belonging, communication skills, contribution, empowerment and willingness to learn. We value content and curriculum knowledge, providing a wide variety of resources and experiences. Music, literacy, artistic languages, mathematical concepts, scientific concepts and dance will all be at the core of meaningful interest led learning experiences.
