We are always on the lookout for amazing kaiako to add to our database. If you would like to put your name on this, either for relieving or in case a permament position comes up in the future, please follow this link and complete your details.
Permement Kaiako - Over Twos
One of our kaiako is moving out of the area, so we are on the hunt for the newest member of our amazing team.
We know the importance of giving tamariki space to grow and learn - each of our three learning areas has nearly twice the amount of space required by the Ministry of Education. Not only that, we take 'regular excursions' out to the kura field we are situated on to allow our tamariki to truly run and kick a ball. And if that isn't enough, three mornings a week we take eight of our oldest tamariki to the beach to experience all that our local area has to offer.
We value child led learning and believe that child learn at their own pace. Through the use of loose parts, we allow tamariki to think for themselves, express their creativity, and develop social skills when working with others. We recognise that tamariki have innate urges and proivide opportunities for these to be explored.
