Philosophy of education

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that each tamariki is a unique individual with unlimited potential, I am committed to nurturing their growth in a play-based, supportive, purposeful and stimulating environment that respects both their individuality and the aspirations of their whanau. As a Kaiako, I am dedicated to my own ongoing growth, actively seeking out new ideas and perspectives to refine my teaching practice and enhancing teamwork skills. I view education as a collaborative journey, where open communication and partnership with parents and my teaching team play pivotal role in providing a quality education for tamariki and whanau.
