Mohi Kete
Our team of dedicated teachers are committed to working alongside your child and encouraging them to develop all the strengths and skills God has gifted to them. As a team we believe in the importance of key teachers. This is often referred to as ‘primary caregiving’ and basically means that one teacher will build a strong relationship with your child and be the one who communicates most regularly with parents and whānau.
We believe everybody is created by God and therefore treat all children with respect, providing an intimate resourceful, safe and peaceful environment with familiar teachers. We view all children as confident and competent, encouraging their independence, thereby encouraging the development of a positive self-image. We teach children that we are all equally valued by God; as such children will be respected and valued equally and should know that they are loved, accepted and have a role within the room.
Our room has a welcoming atmosphere and one of peace and belonging, where children receive quality care and nurturing, where praise and encouragement are used to foster a positive environment, and where their ideas will be valued and respected. We also believe that the needs of the children and their families must always be considered; therefore we work to ensure families and members of the community feel a genuine sense of belonging and ownership within our room.
