Wycliffe Nga Tamariki Philosophy:

At Wycliffe Nga Tamariki Kindergarten, we aim to develop each child holistically by:
  • Fostering a sense of fun and belonging.
  • Encouraging self-help skills, caring for themselves, others and the environment.
  • Encouraging the importance of resilience and learning to take responsible risks.
  • Providing new and exciting learning opportunities in a fun and challenging environment.
  • Offering a programme of variety and choice within all areas of the kindergarten curriculum.

We respect all children as individuals and strive to achieve equity by providing opportunities for all and by being responsive teachers. Whanaungatanga is the foundation of our Kindergarten and part of this is our commitment to family/whanau involvement and our aim to provide a welcoming environment where everyone is respected and has a sense of belonging.  



Our favourite 2019 ERO comments:

Children confidently engage in learning through a wide range of activities. Resources and the environment are carefully considered to meet the needs of individuals. Staff work collaboratively and use the strengths of each teacher to broaden learning opportunities. Children make choices about their play and lead their own learning.

A strong bicultural curriculum is in place. Children have consistent experiences of te ao Māori through natural integration into daily activities. A kaiawhina provides children with te reo Māori immersion opportunities and builds teachers' confidence to meaningfully use te reo Māori in conversation.

Teachers respectfully facilitate children's learning. They purposefully use strategies to promote social competence and nurture growing relationships between children. Wellbeing is promoted through strong tuakana teina relationships. Children display a sense of ownership and belonging.

Testimonial:

Oh gosh where to start here, Jake started WNT at 2 years 7 months a shy little boy with not much confidence, the lovely teachers helped him learn so much and blossom, he learnt abc's 123's and how to talk to people and let them know how he feels, learnt right from wrong, healthy choices, the amazing trips throughout the year made kindy exciting for him whens the next adventure where are we going next he couldn't wait and neither could I to hear the amazing stories he came home with, always willing to help the children explore and find out information about little things they were/are interested in, the kindy teachers where easy approachable and very understanding willing to help with advice and support, Jake today is the young boy he is because of the help support and love he received from the amazing staff at WNT.
