Society Philosophy “Our priority is to provide high quality early childhood education. We believe that qualified and motivated teachers working with small groups of children in attractive, engaging environments supports excellent learning opportunities. Children are valued as unique, capable and resourceful. Relationships/ Ngā Hononga are seen as paramount to our learning community and are based on respect for and collaboration with children, family/ whanau, and the wider community/ whanau-­tangata. Our preschool programmes are enriched by exploring and incorporating concepts from the Reggio Emilia and Nature Based approaches to learning. A commitment to Te Ao Maori is also evident throughout our learning programmes. The living and natural world within the Preschools and local community are utilised as valuable teaching and learning resources”
