Our Philosophy
High Quality Care
At Early Smiles Childcare and Learning Centre, we are committed to providing high-quality care for your child in a safe, healthy, and holistic environment.
Our Environment
Through children and adults warmly teaching and learning together we believe we can create a peaceful environment that nurtures children’s feeling of trust and security.
In this loving and peaceful environment, we believe we can easily practice many of our guiding values which include respect, family involvement, kindness, fairness, well-being and children’s sense of belonging.
Sustainable Future
At Early Smiles, we are committed to protecting the future of our children by encouraging a sustainable future for all.
Our childcare centre actively participates in caring for our environment and promotes sustainable daily practices with our children, our families and the wider community.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum guiding document is Te Whariki.
Within the structure of Te Whariki we encourage children to learn through their play, adventures, interactions and exploration.
Our daily program focuses on building social and emotional skills through play-based activities, physical development through movement and exercise, and creativity by incorporating the art and music.
We value each child as a unique and special person whose choices help to guide the course of our daily program.
We provide daily educational experiences through free and guided play.
