CENTRE PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT

Our centre programme aims to foster and empower children within an environment that values whanaungatanga/relationships. Nurturing skills of independence, autonomy, resilience and promoting social and emotional development.

Emphasis is placed on extending and exploring a negotiated emergent curriculum that is personally meaningful, socially relevant, and intellectually engaging to children. We are committed to maintaining and developing an aesthetically appealing, safe environment that provokes children's innate curiosity.

Indicators

Our approach is underpinned by the principles and strands of Te Whariki, whereby children contribute powerfully in collaboration with whãnau and educators as a community of learners.

Inspired by Magda Gerber's Principles and Schema Learning Theory, and guided by He Mapuna te Tamaiti

We strive daily to do the work for the betterment of the people.
