Our Philosophy informs how we approach children, families and learning in our Centre.
Whanaungatanga, Relationships, Looking after people
Building trusting reciprocal relationships with tamariki, whānau and each other is our foundation for collaborative learning
Respect, Manaakitanga
Deep respect for each tamaiti, whānau and Papatūānuku informs everything that we do
Holistic Learning, Kotahitanga
We provide an environment, resources and experiences that foster children’s natural love of learning and which supports their social, emotional, physical, and mental development.
The Family’s Knowledge / Matua Matauranga
Each tamaiti comes with their unique kete of knowledge from their whānau and culture which we will respect and foster.
Mātauranga Māori / Māori culture
All our tamariki receive the gift of Te Ao Māori, including te Reo, tikanga & te Tiriti o Waitangi

Our Children are:
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.
