The service's philosophy that reflects "an explorative learning culture, while engaging and maintaining positive relationships" is clearly evident in practice. Teachers and whānau recently revisited the kindergarten's philosophy and are focusing on ensuring teaching practice and the environment reflect the principles of Te Whāriki.
Children learn in a setting that supports meaningful and enjoyable exploration. They mostly engage in free, uninterrupted play and investigation that encourages independence and extends learning. Children’s emerging interests in literacy and numeracy are evident within the context of play, both indoors and outside.
