Our Programme

Tāmariki are encouraged by our talented Kaiako to be independent and do simple tasks for themselves. Our curious explorers are supported to take on their own learning and interests.

Tāmariki have a spacious and safe environment to take on challenges. Building on skills that enhance them on their way through development.

They are encouraged to learn through nature and real-world objects, resources and materials.

Various activities that support the children’s interests will be set up daily by Kaiako both inside and outside.

We believe in the importance of sustainability, looking after nature and being healthy. The preschool has its very own vegetable garden and orchard where the children are a part of caring for it. Daily, they water, weed and pick their crops that they have grown, then get to have it for afternoon tea or take it home for their families.

AKORANGA ROOM
(4-6 YEAR OLDS)

Our confident and independent big preschoolers have a custom-designed programme that gets them ready for real-life experiences and, most importantly, for primary school. Tāmariki experience a special before school program where they learn through the structure of Reggio and Montessori.

Our passionate teachers offer a programme that focuses on each individual child’s ability and readiness to take part. Tāmariki focus on their interests, taking on investigations and projects which will be indoors and outdoors. We encourage them to learn through interactions with each other.

The Akoranga Room will provide a learning structure that fits in with the daily centre routine so that Tāmariki get their full learning potential each day. They will leave the centre feeling fulfilled, inspired and curious learners.
