Terrace Kindergarten - Philosophy


Kia ora


At Terrace Kindergarten the children are our central focus.  We create an environment that is welcoming and where the child is empowered to take responsibility and ownership for their own learning pathways.

Reciprocal and responsive relationships between children, whanau, teachers and the community are fostered to enhance the learning opportunities for each child.  These relationships are based on respect, caring and communication.

The qualities of atawhai (parent support), tuakana teina (peer teaching) and ako (teaching and learning) are practised to create a learning community.
We foster a love of the natural world and a sense of wonder in each child.

We strive to foster a lifelong love of learning.
