Our Philosophy

 

Our Centre Philosophy was developed in conjunction with management, staff, and parents.  This is what our centre's community believes to be important for children in their early years of learning.

 

  • We provide a child-centred, responsive centre programme, where all children know they are loved and cared for.
  • We encourage children to develop respect and responsibility for themselves, their actions, their property, and each other.
  • We believe children should be empowered to learn and to enjoy learning.  We encourage children in using problem solving skills and asking “why?”.
  • We focus on children’s individual interests, strengths, needs, goals, and dreams.  We will work alongside children and their parents/family/whanau to achieve these.
  • We are Christian based.  This will include teaching the true meaning of Christmas and Easter as well as giving thanks before we eat
