Our philosophy
Empowerment
We strongly believe children learn best through play, being directors in their own learning. We promote an environment where children are empowered to be inquisitive, curious and engaged learners.
We foster relationships with the natural environment where children can explore and learn in their own time.
Family and Community
We are a family orientated Centre that builds strong partnerships with our families/whanau.
We believe our tamariki will flourish when their family/whanau are fully involved in our Centre.
Holistic Development
We cater to the needs of children in a holistic manner embracing culture, diversity and individuality. Children will develop a sense of trust, belonging, independence, through sensitive observation.
Teachers have respect for and trust in children as initiators, explorers and independent learners.
Relationships
We believe children learn best when they have developed trust in the adults around them. By working together we foster children who become life-long learners, believe that an environment that is reach in active participation with the world around them will continue to strengthen each child's development.
The primary caregivers' focus is on enabling and supporting close attachments between a small group of children and their family. Establishing and maintaining close reciprocal relationships with the children creates trust in the adults around them.
