OUR VALUES
As an early childhood education service, we are committed to the following values:
Family Values. We promote the value of family/whānau inter-relationships and communications between parents and children.

Individual Child. We value and recognise the uniqueness of each individual child. We respect and learn about the varied developmental pace of each child through responsive interactions, observations and building trusting relationships.

Early Childhood Curriculum. We Value and uphold the Curriculum Principles – Empowerment; Holistic development, Family & Community; and Relationships in our daily practices. We incorporate the strands, goals and learning outcomes of Te Whāriki in our daily communications and learning experiences with our children, parents and whānau.

Health and Wellbeing. It is important that our children, families and staff understand good health in the areas of eating, nutrition, exercise, sports, and physical wellbeing. We assist families to attain a healthy state of wellbeing in all areas of life.

Moral Values: We believe that understanding moral values in children’s early years will significantly influence and enhance their future decision-making as citizen in the wider society.

Quality Service. We are committed to meeting the ECE Regulations and standards, being accountable at all levels.

Respectful Relationships. Relationships with teachers, children, parents, stakeholders and communities are founded on respect. We value each other’s contribution and respect each other’s opinion. We value the contribution parents have in their children’s learning and development.

Environmental Values. We value our position as Eco Warriors, looking after our plants, little creatures and natural environment together with our children through role-modelling, positive guidance and daily communications.

Continuous Improvement & Consultation. We make efforts to reflect on and review our practices and consult with our wider learning community to ensure that our service is responsive and procedurally compliant in all aspects.
