Our Education Programme
Our education programme is underpinned by the strands and principles of the NZ Early Childhood Curriculum (Te Whāriki). The purpose is to ensure nannies/educators provide a quality, individualised, play based programme supporting each child’s interests and learning experiences. The children will experience rich and empowering learning environments and will develop a ‘can do attitude’ and a love of learning. They will enjoy an environment that fosters and nurtures their development, skills, knowledge and ideas.
- Individual learning pathways specific to each child’s interests incorporating the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whāriki
- Individual child ePortfolios through Educa allow immediate and direct access to your child’s documented learning journey.
- Each child has a designated registered ECE teacher who will visit them on a monthly basis to discuss and monitor their progress and interests as well as mentor their nanny/educator. Our visiting teachers take great pride in the relationships that they build with their nannies/educators, families and children.
- Ongoing professional development for nannies/educators.
