Our philosophy
How we approach early childhood education
It is our firm belief that every child has their own unique strengths and special gifts. Therefore, we plan our curriculum and practice in a way that caters for each individual child, while recognizing and fostering their unique place in their community, whanau and as part of our larger kindy group of children.
​
We aim to assist children in their own self-discovery so they can grow in confidence and develop their potential, seeing themselves as capable of achieving their goals.
We believe in making learning fun so children develop a natural curiosity for learning which extends far beyond their kindergarten years.
​
By creating a positive and trusting atmosphere that allows children to feel secure and valued, children’s self esteem can flourish. If children progress from kindergarten to school with a feeling of confidence and a conviction that they are valued, understood and appreciated for who they are and what they can accomplish, then they will be much better prepared for the challenges of school and life.
​
Children have access to a wide range of learning materials, equipment and activities. There are periods of time for children to experience extended free play as well as structured learning groups and organised activities.
