Our Vision & Distinctives

Our Vision

First Class Education & Care is an Early Childhood Centre which encourages and provides opportunities for children to learn and develop their individual strengths and interests.  We have a vision to work alongside families to provide care and education that reflects strong Christian values as well as sharing and demonstrating Christ's love for us.

 

We aspire for our children to:

"Grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit,
 
secure in their sense of belonging and in the
knowledge that they make a valued contribution
to society."     
Te Whaariki (The Early Childhood Curriculum) Pg 9
