Our Approach
Tamariki
Like branches on a tree we all grow
in different directions yet our roots remain as one
Community
Ehara to maatau kaha i to te takitahi engari i te ngatahi
Our strength is not that of an individual but that of the collective
Aroha
Love is selfless and enduring,
the greatest gift bestowed onto us and
the greatest gift we can bestow onto others
At BeforeSix we are passionate about providing high quality early learning. Our child-centred philosophy is guided by the Te Whāriki curriculum.
Our teachers support your child's development through play and fostering their interests, alongside continual development of environment rich learnings opportunities. This helps your child to develop socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. It is also important for the development of language skills.
BeforeSix Childcare is well-equipped to provide a wide range of resources so that your child can explore and follow their own interests. Our family-oriented, community foucused and caring setting, encourages your child to build positive relationships with their teachers and other children.
“A place where your child receives the highest quality of nurture and care in a stimulating learning environment”
At Before Six, we value open communication with all the tamariki's Whānau, recognising the importance of connecting home life with centre life. We respect the values of each Whānau and celebrate their uniqueness. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing and emotionally secure environment, where kaiako are sensitive to the needs of each child and their Whānau.
Storypark and 'learning stories' will document each child's learning journey. Teachers make sure the stories record the child's interests, skills, development and knowledge, along with their individual approach to learning. These are also an important teaching tool for us in terms of evaluating and planning our curriculum.
