Daily Programmes

Te Whariki is the New Zealand Early Childhood Education Curriculum and is interwoven in all aspects of centre practices across all programme areas. Te Whariki.

 

Our under-two area is a safe and caring place for small children. We prefer to keep a small group size so we can concentrate on forming quality relationships with children and their families at this important time of their lives.  Our babies receive high-quality care and find a little home away from home in our under-two area.

You could often wonder who is having more fun, the children or the teachers. The tamariki enjoy playing and learning in a rich, stimulating environment supporting their interests. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful setting that invites children to investigate, challenge and participate in activities that promote their thinking and physical skills. Teachers understand emerging literacy and mathematics well and foster these concepts through children’s play and individualised learning plans.

As our children approach five they move into our daily transition to school programme. Our goal is to have our children well prepared and eagerly anticipating attending school. We like to be active and have fun. Our tamariki like to get out there and experience life. Confidence, self help skills and a can do attitude are dispositions we really like to equip our tamariki with before they leave. Our environment is well resourced and promotes early literacy and mathematics. Children confidently use a wide range of information communication technologies to research their schools and interests.
