Connection

Play-Based Learning, Guided by Aroha

Learning through play is at the heart of everything we do.
Whether exploring outdoors, painting with friends, or reading with a kaiako, our tamariki learn vital skills – social, emotional, and cognitive in a natural, joyful way.
We follow the Te Whāriki early childhood curriculum, ensuring that every moment of play builds a foundation for lifelong learning.
