Curriculum
When children are confident, secure and happy, they will learn and grow to their full potential. At Kereru Kindy, children enjoy a well-thought out and designed learning programme based on their interests. We build on this in our home-from-home environments, under the guidance of well-trained teachers and, most importantly, with plenty of play.
Our goal is to encourage a life-long love of learning through open ended play. As children discover the magic in learning at this early age, they are well-placed to seek out and enjoy educative opportunities as they head towards school and beyond.
Our Centre follows the principles, strands and goals of Te Whāriki – The Early Childhood Curriculum
-
The Early Childhood Curriculum will reflect the holistic way tamariki learn and grow
-
The Early Childhood Curriculum will empower the child to learn and grow
-
Tamariki will be given the opportunity to develop knowledge of the cultural heritage of both partners to Te Tiriti o Waitangi
-
The wider world of the whānau and community is an integral part of the Early Childhood Curriculum
Our aim is that for tamariki to grow up as confident, competent respectful learners and communicators. They will be secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.
