Nurture by Nature Early Childhood
Care and Education Centre - 2005
The Kaupapa/ Philosophy at Nurture by Nature encompasses several
overlapping concepts.
These are:
That in order to learn and develop, a child must be secure and happy.
From this base,the child can then, with support of well-trained, warm,
caring and experienced early childhood teachers, take advantage
of, and be stimulated by, a well-presented, child-initiated curriculum.
The curriculum and practices of the centre will reflect the dual
parties of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and be an integral part of our learning
community.
That with the provision of a quality physical environment – children
and staff will be uplifted in their play and work, and parents will feel
that they have made a good choice for their child.
That successful experience at appropriate development levels will
greatly add to a child’s success throughout their life.
This curriculum philosophy is, jointly, activity and development
based, and centred on the premise that everything that occurs with
or for a child is defined as curriculum.
