Belonging
A consistent home base with familiar teachers and friends.
Our programme
Play-based learning, rooted in nature
We follow Te Whāriki, Aotearoa's early childhood curriculum, weaving its five strands through every day at the centre.
The five strands
Wellbeing
Healthy kai, plenty of rest, and time outdoors every day.
Exploration
Open-ended play with natural materials and real tools.
Communication
Stories, waiata, and conversations that honour te reo Māori.
Contribution
Working together, caring for the garden, looking after each other.
