All five centres operate under the principles of our Early Childhood curriculum, Te Whariki. These principles reflect a social-cultural approach to learning. This approach emphasizes the importance of relationship and whanaungatanga.

In this way our centres:

• Construct learning communities
• Support the ongoing development of learning communities with a philosophy of Whanaungatanga

As you explore our website we hope you find a centre that suits the needs of your family and provides a viable, educational and care alternative for your child.
