Our vision is to provide a consistently high standard of care and education. We aspire to provide an equitable environment to support learners to have a strong sense of identity and see themselves as capable and competent. Akonga will demonstrate empathy, respect and resilience and have a lifelong passion for learning and exploration.
Our Early Childhood Curriculum
The Curriculum at Morrinsville Kids is based on the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum Te Whariki. The curriculum encompasses events, experiences, activities, interactions, care and education, both planned and spontaneous within the learning environments. Our curriculum is all about ensuring that children are safe, nurtured, and have the opportunity to reach their full potential through the outstanding education and care we will provide.
Four principles of Te Whariki are at the centre of the early childhood curriculum. Following these principles are five strands consisting of; Wellbeing, Belonging, Contribution, Communication and Exploration. Each of these strands has several goals and learning outcomes for the individual child
The Principles
Empowerment/Whakamana: The early childhood curriculum empowers the child to learn and grow
Holistic Development/Kotahitanga: The early childhood curriculum reflects the holistic way children learn and grow
Family and Community/Whànau Tangata: The wider world of family and community is an integral part of the early childhood curriculum
Relationships/Ngà Hononga: Children learn through responsive and reciprocal relationships with people, places, and things.
