The prescribed curriculum - Te Whariki guides us as the foundation of our own local curriculum. We offer an environment that encourages children to learn, grow and enjoy themselves with their friends. We are committed to Te Tiriti O Waitangi through building partnerships and ensuring participation and protection. We value and welcome our multicultural families with in the Johnsonville/Churton Park/Newlands communities.
We acknowledge each tamariki's identity, language and culture. We offer an inclusive curriculum, where all children are empowered to learn with and alongside others by engaging and a range of experiences that are meaningful for them. Kaiako actively respond to children's strengths, interests, abilities, abilites and needs. We are inclusive.
As our tamariki grow and learn, they look forward to going to school. Being on a school site means we can make regular visits to the school. We have access to the school playground and equipment. We value our relationship with the school. And this supports children and family transition to the school.
We view all tamariki as active independent learners with their unique learning needs, therefore we encourage and assist their learning through exploring and taking an interest in different topics/objects (Mana Aotūroa), team working with others (Mana Reo), accepting challenges and direct their own learning (Mana Atua), problem solving (Mana Tangata), and building confidence (Mana Whenua) here at preschool.
We believe, working in a partnership with you. Our goal is to provide quality care to your child. We are available at any time to talk with you about your children's learning and wellbeing.
