Fostering and empowering children’s holistic learning and development
Fostering and empowering children’s holistic learning and development
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.
Our team of stable, dedicated teachers (many who have been with us for more than 10 years) are passionate about empowering children through a holistic curriculum that reflects their interests, strengths and abilities as well as the values of their whanau.
