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.

Our Trip to Whangaparaoa, A Steam Train Ride and Much, Much More

There was lots to see and do on our Whangaparaoa trip
We could ride on the steam train 

Go on bush walks


Jump on the trampoline  - Woohoo!

And play on the playgrounds
We saw animals and counted owls hiding in the bush. There was a train track on a table and so many of us could play with it all at once and because there was enough trains to go round, we were all happy. There were swings and slides, trucks and trees. Oh yes, it was a fun packed, busy trip and do you know, the rain stayed away.

It was good to see our friends from Kinross Street and we really enjoyed travelling on the double decker bus.

Thank you for such an awesome trip!

Out and About in our Community

We have been very lucky with the weather this week. Winter is upon us and it is cold but not wet and so we made the most of the fine weather with a visit to our friends at Learning Curves in Kinross Street. We caught a bus to Blockhouse Bay and while there we popped in to visit Josh and Jiya's mum in her place of work. We received a very warm welcome and we were also fortunate to meet Om's Grandad.
