Te Whariki is the national early childhood
curriculum document.
It is founded on the following aspirations for 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." |

The curriculum is made up of principles, strands and goals.
Principles
Empowerment - Whakamana
The early childhood curriculum empowers the child to learn and grow.
Holistic Development - Kotahitanga
The early childhood curriculum reflects the holistic way children learn and grow.
Family and Community - Whanau Tangata
The wider world of family and community is an integral part of the early childhood curriculum.
Relationships - Nga Hononga
Children learn through responsive and reciprocal relationships with people, places, and things.
Our goal under this curriculum is to encourage your child to spread their wings and fly. To share learning experiences with their peers that encourages them to persist through difficulty, take responsibility, and feel positive about the resulting learning.
