Staff
At Play School we are committed to the families/whanau of our
centre to employ a high standard of quality trained teaching
staff. Our educators will work in partnership alongside
families/whanau to promote and extend the learning and
development of each child attending our centre through the
provision of quality early childhood education and care.
The Programme
At Play School we are committed to implementing the Early
Childhood curriculum, Te Whariki. We provide an inviting
programme with opportunities to foster and enhance each child’s
own learning. We believe that children learn through play and at
Play School their play is valued as meaningful learning.
Teachers at Play School will guide and encourage children by
providing an environment that is safe and emotionally
supportive. Our teachers will provide stimulating and
challenging experiences through exploration, movement and
communication and will value each child’s contribution. To
provide quality programmes that care and educate we believe it
is important that there is mutual support and good communication
between parents and staff, as working together will make the
most of these early experiences for children.
Enrollment is open! Join us for nurturing care and quality early
learning.
