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.

TJ delivers sand to top up our sandpit......

There are no shortage of helpers as Eddie, Liam, Alex and friends load up the wheel barrows and transfer the sand from the trailer to the sandpit. The ramp at times proved a challenge, but kiwi ingenuity came to the fore and they managed to find their own solutions. Thank you for all your hard work! Our sandpit looks impressive now.

On Thursday, 30th June, 2011, we took fourteen children to visit St. Domincs school. The children were given the opportunity to participate in a class programme, and experience a morning in the life of a school child. This helps them to be prepared for school when they start. The children had a great time!

What to do on a Sunny Wintry Day!

On Monday the 27th June the children made a swimming pool in the sandpit and with out thinking they spontaneously jumped right in! What a lot of fun the children had. They were discovering how high to jump and who made the biggest splash. It was a very hot morning, even though it was a cold night. It's great to see the children taking the lead in their own learning experiences!
