Our Philosophy

We focus our philosophy around "Te Whãriki"which is a New Zealand based early childhood  framework founded on the following aspirations for children "to grow up as a competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society".

Our aim is to provide programs that meet the needs of individual children, their families and the community.

We aim to provide a healthy, safe, caring, stimulating, trusting and welcoming environment for each child, to compliment the family unit.
We believe children need to be respected, valued, feel happy and have a high level of self-esteem and confidence.

We have also introduced aspects of the Reggio Emilia curriculum (based in Northern Italy) which recognises the potential of young children to question, reflect, problem solve, theorise, experiment and express their findings. When provided with sufficient opportunities, time, space and materials to experiment and explore, children master the many tools and skills of communication and are able to actively translate what they perceive not only through the spoken word but through other languages such as drawing, sculpture, drama and movement as symbolic representations of their discoveries about the world.

We embrace diversity and respect all children and families regardless of their race, colour, creed, socio-economic environment, physical attributes and additional needs.
