Marlborough Street Childcare Centre

Statement of Philosophy

 

Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Aotearoa has a unique cultural heritage. All children have the right to knowledge and understanding of this bi-cultural heritage. We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We also acknowledge all other cultures in our community.

​

Te Whāriki

Our teachers have an important role in supporting, encouraging and extending children’s interest and learning, while following the early childhood curriculum, to ensure positive learning outcomes for all children.

​

Whānau Tangata

At our centre we provide an environment that is nurturing and respectful to ensure the wellbeing of the children, parents, teachers and whānau.

​

Tuakana/Teina

We work collaboratively with children, parents and whanau, communicating with openness, honesty and respect to create trusting reciprocal relationships and sense of belonging.

​

Kotahitanga

Within the centre environment we create a culture of teaching and learning to ensure children develop, learn and thrive in mind, body and spirit.

​

Mana Aotearoa

We foster an attitude of respect and care for the natural environment.

​

Whakamana

Children will leave the Marlborough Street Childcare Centre confident, competent and caring, having had their learning extended and enhanced, and with happy memories of their pre-school days.
