Educational Programme

Our educational programmes are planned to encourage children to become active learners which will assist them to acquire the skills needed for later formal education. Our programme is based on Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum and Kei Tua O Te Pae; an approach that promotes collaborative, credit-based narrative assessments of children’s development.

Programmes are tailored to the development needs of the different ages attending the Centre. As children near school age, additional programmes are available to assist in their transition to primary school. Flexibility exists to cater for each child’s individual needs.

We ensure activities cover the seven essential learning areas of:

• Science
• Language
• Physical Health
• Social Sciences
• Technology
• Mathematics
• The Arts
