A range of meaningful learning opportunities enrich the curriculum. Children are empowered to lead their own learning. Teachers value children’s ideas, choices and opinions. Effective use is made of learning conversations to encourage children to problem solve and to extend their thinking. Literacy, mathematics, science and creative expression are strong features of the local curriculum.
Māori children experience an environment where their language and culture is affirmed. Connections between Māori ways of being and sustainable practices support children’s knowledge of Māori world views. Children have many opportunities to learn about local places of significance.
Partnerships with parents and whānau are based on mutual respect. Teachers effectively respond to parent aspirations. Assessment documents children’s emerging interests and engagement in the life of the kindergarten. Hard-copy portfolios are regularly accessed by children and whānau are encouraged to contribute to and share children's learning experiences. Further strengthening of assessment, planning and evaluation is needed to clearly show children's deepening complexity of learning.
Warm and caring relationships between children and teachers provide a strong foundation for learning. Inclusive practices support all children to participate fully in all aspects of the programme. Teachers' work diligently to make children's transitions into and out of the kindergarten a positive experience.
