In our Ruma kiwi environment we use primary caregiving to care and nurture our littlest Pepi. Our teachers provide a warm, nurturing And enriching Environment where our pepi can explore, learn and challenge their abilities while feeling safe. We build respectful relationships with our pepi to develop healthy brain paths which they will utilise to help them learn and grow.
