Children’s needs and routines are individually met so that continuity between home and daycare is kept at maximum levels throughout the day and includes a variety of play based learning.
In this room children are able to explore through play while learning skills of every day life. There are a lot of resources and spaces available. Children can explore both indoor and outdoor and do so freely, competently and safely. Educational experiences are planned and implemented in a sense that engages each individual.
A healthy morning/afternoon tea is provided. Children have supervised access to the refrigerator which contains their lunch boxes, this gives them a sense of responsibility and manaakitanga (caring) for their belongings.
Experiences are planned daily and we incorporate a school readiness programme to support the children who will be heading off to school.
