Ko ō Mātou Kaupapa
We are a whānau orientated centre that prides itself on providing positive experiences for tamariki and their whānau. We are kaupapa Māori focused and promote te reo and tikanga Māori in all our centre activities.
As an Enviroschool partner (Silver accredited), Kaitiakitanga is also an important part of our daily routine and practises that our tamariki participate in.

Caring: we offer care and support in the development and learning of tamariki and their whānau. We will demonstrate manaakitanga in all interactions and engagements with manuhiri, whānau and tamariki and the environment
Whakamana
Empowerment: we will offer a choice based curriculum that supports tamariki self determination to develop at their own pace and that celebrates every child's achievements
Whānaungatanga
Relationships: we will build strong relationships and connections with tamariki, whānau and the hapori that are enduring
Kaitiakitanga
Guardianship: we will respect and care for our environment (natural, physical) as guardians and advocates for sustainable practises
