Our Vision and Policies

• We strive to create a diverse community that fosters mutual respect and social responsibility, enhanced by a strong partnership between home and the centre.
• Our curriculum supports children to set the pace for their own learning and develop according to individual and group interests.
• We believe each and every child has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world. Our role is to assist children to develop a sense of themselves as capable and confident learners. 
• The learning environment is stimulating and inviting and gives children independent access to a wide range of equipment and resources.
• We are committed to developing respectful relationships, valuing open communication and promoting inclusiveness in all that we do.
• We are dedicated professionals providing a quality teaching and learning environment.
• We are committed to ongoing professional development and to maintaining a high level of trained and registered teachers thus ensuring we offer a high quality programme.
• We treasure the natural environment. By reducing, re-using and recycling, we hope to minimize our impact on the planet. We aim for sustainability and to provide opportunities for children to connect with nature and love the earth.
• We acknowledge Te Whàriki, the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum, as the framework for everything we do as teachers   
• Along with the use of Te Whāriki, we incorporate aspects of the Emmi Pikler Approach and the Reggio Emilia Approach into our programme.
• We acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand, and are committed to embracing our bi-cultural heritage.
