Our Philosophy

We aspire to create an environment where tamariki experience warm, respectful relationships filled with aroha and feel empowered to investigate and make sense of the world around them.  

Children are supported to develop resilience, courage, patience, and confidence in themselves and their learning.

We value whanaungatanga and strong connections with whenua, whānau, and community, believing these relationships provide the foundation for holistic development and wellbeing.

Outdoor Learning & Wellbeing

Our outdoor environment provides opportunities for tamariki to run, climb, swing, dig, jump, and explore through active play and hands-on learning.  

Alongside our connection with nature, we support children’s wellbeing through initiatives including hot lunches, warm clothing support through KidsCan, and an opt-in daily toothbrushing programme.

With a close connection to Manaia View School, tamariki are well supported as they transition through their early learning journey and into school.
