  • All early childhood centre and education should enhance the development of the child and support the family.

The Curriculum

Little Feet has a weekly curriculum which is based on Te Whariki principles. These principles, aims and goals are an integrated approach woven from Te Whariki to have a holistic approach to our curriculum. We observe the children at work in their play and design our curriculum areas on those observations. It is stimulating and flexible, designed to meet the changing needs of the children in care; daily records are noted in each child's book and available upon request.

We believe that children do benefit in a positive way from their experiences in early childcare. We encourage your child, socially, emotionally, physically and mentally. We are involved in your child's development and we are interested in your thoughts and concerns. As a parent you are welcome to attend our monthly planning sessions.
