and now we are in a recession with the student roll dropping nationally (resolving the teacher shortage). However, we have learned and grown with the times. We have employed many great kaiako who have added to our centre’s culture and philosophy (big and fond thanks if you are reading this). Our current team is the most stable we have ever experienced and lower numbers means we can focus more on our kaiako, building capacity for when the economy recovers. Throughout we have stayed true to our twin philosophies of RIE and Reggio Emilia, they ground our practice in the same way our mountains ground our sense of belonging to our community. Our philosophies are about respecting our tamariki as confident and capable learners and respecting them as people. We are super proud to see our kaiako practicing this every day and we are all proud to provide our tamariki with the best possible place and foundation for their learning to take flight.
