Relationships among the children, teachers and families are supportive and respectful. Tuakana teina relationships are highly evident between children. Older children willingly help younger children and include them in their play and learning. (ERO 2016)
Through strong learning partnerships teachers ensure parents are involved in setting goals for their child's learning and kept well informed about their child's progress and learning outcomes. Teachers maintain strong links between home and centre learning. (ERO 2016) |
Te reo and tikanga Maori are well integrated into the programme. Children know and use te reo Maori. Teachers make effective use of professional development to continue to increase their skills and knowledge in this area of the curriculum. Maori parents also enrich, clarify and extend te reo and tikanga Maori in the programme. The environment reflects the pride the children, teachers and community have in New Zealand's bicultural heritage. (ERO 2016)
The Kindergarten has a very good range of resources that are presented in ways that encourage children to explore, work independently and spend time that they need to develop their interests, ideas and learning. The programme has a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy, creativity and physical activity. The outdoor environment is effectively used by children and teachers to help children develop a good range of physical skills and appropriate attitudes towards team and competitive sports. (ERO 2016)
Teachers work well together to meet the needs of the children and their families. They have high expectations for teaching and learning, and make good use of individual strengths and interests to achieve high quality outcomes for all children. (ERO 2016)

Transitions into the kindergarten are well established, flexible and focused on the needs of the child and family. Older children are well supported to develop the skills, confidence and knowledge that they will need to successfully transition to school. This includes the sharing of information and reciprocal visits to and from a local school. (ERO 2016)
