Individual learning plan for each child
Our programme coordinators / visiting teachers develop an individual educational programme specifically for your child in discussion with your child’s educator about the the child’s interests and learning. This individual programme is based on the Te Whãriki, The New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum.
Children in care get to do lots of exciting things with their educators. They dance, listen to music, sing songs, do painting, baking, gardening. They learn lots of new skills like balance, hand-eye coordination, colour, measuring and lots more! They do different activities such as blocks, play dough, painting, books, puzzles, sand and water play, listening to stories, indoor & outdoor play, thereby extending your child’s knowledge and helping lay the learning foundations for future!

Educators are guided to notice, recognise and respond to the child’s learning needs. Recording the child’s learning in the child’s portfolio, in the form of photos, arts and crafts to show the learning process. Programme Coordinators also write learning stories for the children when they visit the educator. They provide ongoing support and help plan and develop activities and fun play ideas for the forthcoming month that will encourage your child to explore and discover new things.
