Environment:

  • The kindergarten is influenced by the Reggio Philosophy
  • The kindergarten reflects a passion for the creative arts
  • The kindergarten looks inviting and vibrant

We nurture children’s learning by;

  • Documenting children’s learning in portfolio’s that are written with passion and flare and presented professionally to a high standard
  • Writing documentation that is meaningful and we utilise learning stories as a tool to enable parents/whanau to see their child’s progress at kindergarten
  • Planning documentation is visible and reflects and embraces the emergent curriculum
  • Ensuring the session is calm and busy
  • Give children/families/whanau a visual record (CD disk), of their child’s engagement in learning opportunities
