Our centre environment is set up daily with a variety of activities to support children’s current interests and stimulate new ones. Our programme is linked to the National Early Childhood Curriculum Te Whaariki which promotes the holistic development of all children extending and developing their social, physical, emotional and cognitive skills, encouraging them to become competent and capable learners.
We believe in inclusive education, that all children have the right to attend an early childhood centre. We believe in providing equitable opportunities for learning. We value, respect and appreciate the cultural diversity within our centre community by nurturing individuals, their families and their culture. The children, staff and parents/whanau are exposed to different cultures and learn about different people, their customs, values and way of life
The younger children are able to observe and learn from their older peers, and older children are able to have leadership opportunities.
We offer a rich curriculum that balances child choice and exploration with teacher initiated experiences.
We do have areas both indoors and outdoors for under two year olds, but there are many opportunities throughout the day for both age groups to be blended.
The staff at Christopher Robin Childcare Centre aim to provide an environment which is rich in learning, fun, physically and emotionally safe.
Staff are available to chat about children’s progress and development during the day.
We believe our role as teachers is to scaffold, facilitate, support and challenge each child within their learning environment. We believe in providing equitable opportunities for learning.
