Teaching Room
Our Teaching Room
Our Teaching Room is a prepared environment providing an education foundation for successful future development. This space is a well-resourced environment designed specifically to meet the developmental needs of tamariki aged over 3 years.
Within this prepared environment we are able to recognise the unique and diverse learning approaches of each child. Our kaiako provide an educationally, creative and evolving curriculum, supported by the following curriculum areas in which each child is able to choose freely from; literacy, numeracy, visual arts, music and movement, study of science, computers and technology, geography, cultural skills, study of topics, physical education, and health and safety.
