Children, families, teachers; building relationships for learning
Tamariki whānau kaiako; e hanga whanaungatanga mo te ako
Our relationships - Our team is passionate about building positive, trusting reciprocal relationships - we pride ourselves on the warm, lasting relationships that we form with children and their families. We are proud of the positive feedback we receive from families of children who are currently in our care as well as those who have transitioned smoothly to school. We value parent contribution and we celebrate the diversity of all our families. This is reflected in our broad and rich curriculum, on Storypark and cultural events, as well as in our on-going daily communication.
Learning – we know that children learn best when they are engaged in learning that follows their interests and passions and when they have a strong sense of wellbeing and belonging. We view children as confident and competent learners, they are given the time and space to direct their own learning and development. We support the tuakana/teina relationship and we value the practice of ako, learning with and alongside others.
Our environment - Our environment plays a vital role in the learning and development of our children. We provide a warm, nurturing, caring, home-like environment that always feels welcoming. Our learning spaces are bright, interactive and engaging. We are striving to be sustainable and we include children and families in this journey.
Our learning spaces - We have separate age appropriate rooms, to best support the different stages of children’s learning and development. The outdoor areas in our Nursery and Preschool promote exploration and physical movement.
Nursery Room - We have a beautiful Nursery Room which caters for children and babies, aged 3 months to 2 years, with a peaceful, home-like sleep room. We have a beautiful babies nest that provides a safe space for our youngest babies to confidently explore and discover their own capabilities. We provide aspects of primary care for young babies to support their care and development and promote their well-being through nurturing, caring and responsive relationships. We encourage our children to learn through play and planned group experiences.
Preschool Room - Our Preschool Room caters for children aged 2 until they're ready for school and offers a variety of challenging and socially interactive activities for our pre-schoolers. Our 4 year olds participate in our Be School Ready initiative. This helps them develop vital skills such as literacy, numeracy and working alongside others to ensure they are ready for school. Our termly visits to our local schools also help to support their transition. Our children are offered a variety of experiences each day which focus on their current interests.
We have strong community connections with our local primary schools (Roydvale School, Isleworth School, Burnside Primary and Wairakei School) where we have termly visits to support the children with their transition to school.
