We pride ourselves in practicing inclusive practices and welcome all children and their whānau with open arms. We value each child’s holistic development and respect the diverse range of abilities each child possesses. With a primary focus on creating and fostering honest, respectful, and reciprocal relationships with children, their families and whānau; kaiako endeavour to ensure meaningful learning outcomes for all tamariki. At Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre, we believe that all children are unique individuals who learn through play. Our goal is to create and maintain safe, secure, caring and stimulating environments which will enable tamariki to play, learn, explore, and develop in ways that are meaningful to them and their whānau. At Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre there is a focus in terms of partnering with parents, caregivers, families and whānau as we work towards achieving educational success for all children. At Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre, we acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa. We focus on creating bicultural spaces where te ao Māori is seen, felt, and heard. We aim to uphold the promises outlined in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and ensure our Māori ākonga and their whānau feel a sense of belonging within our early learning environments. With a strong focus on bicultural practice, we endeavour to practice the virtues of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, aroha and whanaungatanga through everything we do. At Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre, we focus on collaborating with parents, caregivers, families and whānau to create inspired multicultural spaces for children to learn and feel a strong sense of belonging. We believe that all children and their whānau bring with them a wealth of knowledge and endeavour to inspire and support all tamariki to be themselves as they discover and develop their identity – what makes them unique. At Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre we believe in working closely with our community to create a culturally rich and responsive curriculum that is meaningful to our community, kaiako, tamariki, parents, families and whānau. We believe in creating learning spaces that are informed, stimulating, opportunistic and inspired. We endeavour to work alongside local iwi, schools, kura, council and other important agencies to enable tamariki to develop self-awareness within our local communities. With quality education being a primary focus, we at Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre pride ourselves on our ability to efficiently recognise and incorporate the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum Te Whāriki and NELP (National Education Learning Priorities) in our daily practices. At Kiwi Supertots Learning Centre, we believe that exceptional education and care comes from quality kaiako – therefore we aim to support our teaching and management team with consistent learning opportunities and growth through frequent and relative professional development. With these beliefs interwoven into our daily practices, we strive to support all tamariki to become competent and confident life-long learners, strong in body, health, and mind.
