Children experience positive learning interactions with their teachers and other children. Routines occur in a calm and unhurried manner. A good balance between structured and free time provides children with meaningful opportunities to enjoy group time, make friendships and pursue activities of greatest individual interest.
Babies and toddlers are well supported through respectful and nurturing interactions and relationships with teachers. Teachers are responsive to children’s individual emotional and physical needs. Learning programmes in the nursery are developed from observing children’s interests and needs. Young children in this area have ongoing opportunities to freely explore their environment and follow their own interests.
We provide three separate areas of teaching to meet the different learning and care needs of children at various stages of development. The teacher to child ratio is higher than required by the Ministry of Education, and our specialist teachers have strengths in infant child care and development, literacy and numeracy, music, art and physical development, among other curriculum areas.
