Our Philosophy

​

We recognise parents as the first educators of their child, we value whānau aspirations and welcome their wealth of diverse talents.

​

We value tamariki as unique individuals and celebrate their successes to ensure they see themselves as competent and confident learners.

​

We foster a safe environment of aroha and respect as a base to build reciprocal relationships with all tamariki, whānau and within our teaching team.

​

We embrace our bi-cultural heritage through waiata, Te Reo and tikanga Māori values so that our tamariki will embrace their heritage as young New Zealanders.

​

We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and recognise Māori as Tangata Whenua 

​

We embrace all cultures and recognise that cultural diversity forms a large part of NZ

​

We aim to ignite tamariki interests to discover, explore and learn through planned and spontaneous play

​

We recognise that a positive team culture, open communication, collaborative, reflective practice and  ongoing professional development is essential for kaiako to grow both personally and professionally.

​

We aim to deliver a holistic education based on Montessori principles, within the framework of Te Whāriki, Te Ara Poutama, the NELP’S and Tātaiako as our guiding documents.​
