We provide an in-depth learning programme based on the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum,Te Whāriki. We aim to develop programmes to meet children’s individual needs that include both planned and child initiated learning experiences which allow for spontaneous learning outcomes. We endeavour to create opportunities for children to develop holistically which means children’s intellectual, social, cultural, physical, emotional, and spiritual learning is interwoven across all experiences.
We believe infants need to be cared for with deep respect by people in their lives who understand the unique development and learning occurring for each child. We strive towards respecting for Infants' confidence and competence. This means considering them to be equal, capable of problem solving and decision making, by allowing them to develop and explore at their own pace.
We have a ‘Fabulous Fours’ programme for 4-5 year old children; which focuses mainly on literacy and numeracy for smooth transition to school. Our programme is comprehensive, skill-based and designed to prepare children for their first year and on-going success in school.
We aim to create a natural learning environment both indoors and outdoors that is stimulating, educational and safe. We set up resources and equipment in a purposeful and provocative way to foster children’s sense of wonder, imagination, curiosity and inquiry. Natural environment provides unique hands- on experiences for children while they are learning many maths and science concepts. Using natural materials gives young children an opportunity to understand how things work in the living, physical world, which in turn can lead to a greater respect for the environment.
