At Pakuranga Learning Centre, we focus on promoting the development of early literacy/numeracy skills and knowledge. A wide range of equipment and resources are provided both indoors and outdoors and children are encouraged to make choices about their play. Children are invited to participate in learning opportunities and to share their ideas, passions, and interests with others.

​

As young minds develop, they have an extraordinary capacity to learn. During these formative years, it is extremely important to ensure your child is in an environment that is both challenging and rewarding.

Through age-appropriate learning experiences, each child can master skills in the areas of communication, social interaction, cognitive and physical development. By experiencing success in each of these areas, a child becomes more confident and self-reliant. These positive learning experiences at an early age contribute to the child's sense of self and emotional well-being.

​

Our teachers act as facilitators to your child’s education and care, allowing them to explore. Young children can develop a strong sense of self, through their accomplishments.

Children, parents, and whanau are included in decision making and planning for learning. The relationship built with teachers and peers enables children to develop a sound social foundation, which will enable them to be successful in their future endeavors.

As parents your aspirations and goals for your child/ren will be respected and acknowledged by the centre. Collaboration between parents and teachers to work alongside to provide education and care resulting in positive outcomes for your child/ren, and that parents are the ‘experts’ on their own children.
