Our qualified early childhood teachers provide rich learning programmes with weekly themes guided by the children’s own interests.
Our teachers work with children individually, in small groups and collectively to identify personal interests, and strengths. We monitor progress in development of skills, confidence and independence. We always share this with parents who are encouraged to contribute to their child’s learning.
Consistent Quality Teaching
Our programmes allow children the freedom to play and explore within the framework of consistent routines and intentional teaching. Each centre’s programme starts with the developmental age and individual routines of the children (e.g. sleep times) and typically includes:
- Group mat times
- Planned and spontaneous activities
- Whole group, small group and individual activities
- Active and quiet activities
- Inside, outside and meal times
Focus on literacy and numeracy
Programmes in all our centres follow the New Zealand early childhood curriculum Te Whāriki with our own particular emphasis on literacy and numeracy, which prepares children for a smooth transition through each of our centres and onwards to school.
All children have their own personal StoryPark learning portfolios which are a digital and physical record of their progress.
Extracurricular
We have frequent visits from top quality educational, cultural and entertaining guests and we have regular excursions locally and to destinations of special interest. There’s always something fun and interesting happening at Kindyz of Queenwood!
