Our Daily Programme
Our daily programme varies each day depending on the needs of our tamariki. We follow our younger tamariki’s individual care needs and routines as discussed with whānau. Our room routines are flexible to suit the needs and desires of the tamariki and may include spontaneous walks and adventures to explore our extended backyard. Each of our 3 rooms have slightly different room routines and rituals. Below is an example of what a normal day looks like.
During Exploration time tamariki will have the opportunity to engage in our learning environments alongside their teachers. Tamariki will be able to follow their urges/interests to extend their learning and gain new knowledge and skills that develop their dispositions and strategies for learning.
Our core values that shape what we do are; Partnerships and working with others/Whanaungatanga, Be
