Our Philosophy

Wisdom begins with wonder - by Socrates

To cherish the joy of families and the many different ways they come to us.

With Te Whaariki and Kei Tua o te Pae as guidelines, we recognise that each and every child is competent and capable, and we will adapt our pedagogy to support all learning. Theorists of human behaviour, Piaget, Vygotsky and Bronfennrenner, underpin our assessment and evaluation of children's learning.

Happy Father's Day Night

Thank you to the Dads and Granddads that could make it to our Father's Day Evening.
It was an opportunity for us to talk about the things dear to our hearts, your children, in an informal, relaxed environment.

Your handy work has become part of Learning Curves' History and will remain for many years to come.

 
Thank you to Gerald, an ex-Dad from our centre. Your skills and knowledge are invaluable and we appreciate you sharing them with us to make this a special evening for the Dads and Granddads of today's Learning Curves.

Individual photos will be added to your child's/grandchild's blog.

Happy Father's Day

Father's Day evening has become a regular event to celebrate the families in our community and the many different ways that they come to us. We appreciate and value the contribution that our families bring and this is one way that we can give back to them. A relaxed, low key, informal evening, an opportunity for the teaching team to connect with the dads/grandad and share stories about their precious children. In true NZ style we shared fish and chips for our evening's kai.

Thank you to Gerald, one of our dads that comes back to help us even though his son is off to school. He is prepared to share his vast knowledge and skills in technology. Without him, our Father's Day evening would have been somewhat more challenging!

For the mums, grandmas and aunties out there, don't feel left out as we have plenty of whanau nights and, just for you, we have a Mother's Day evening too. We will let you know when, just stay tuned.

I hope you enjoy the following slide show as much as I did. Thank you to Jonny for your speech at the end. We appreciated your words and it made our evening all the more special. A big thank you to all the dads that could make it and we look forward to next year.
