Philosophy

The Village Childcare is a learning community for children and adults.

We believe that strong relationships are the heart of quality care and aim to foster trusting, respectful and empowering relationships with the children and adults who are a part of our service.

We value the unique potential that exists within every child, and aim to extend their resilience and encourage them to be responsible for their own learning.

We embrace the diversity of our parents and whānau, acknowledging the trust they place in us and the aspirations they have for their children.

We are committed to on-going improvement and developing teachers into early childhood leaders who bring passion, commitment and love to their work.

We provide quality education and care in a vibrant and innovative environment providing opportunities for play, challenge, and inquiry that act as a catalyst for thinking and learning. We believe it is vital that children develop a strong sense of connection with the natural world and provide abundant opportunities for exploration and discovery in nature.
