North Beach Kaupapa

Our Place

North Beach is a fun & unique community where learning is exciting and successes are celebrated.

What it means to be part of North Beach;

Whanaungatanga

Relationships are everything to us. We aspire to have a sense of connectedness with our whānau and community. We believe that learning happens with and alongside each other, and our learning environment extends far beyond home and the preschool. This also extends to our intimate nursery environment where we place the value on collective care-giving as it thus creates close and trusting relationships. We love learning about our whānau cultures and identities. We want tamariki to be proud of who they are and where they come from. We embrace diversity and celebrate learning together.

Confidence

In our centre you will see how confident our tamariki are. They are encouraged to take risks, to test theories, to share ideas. Our tamariki know that their voice will be heard and valued. We want tamariki to be connected and to grow and aspire to be valued participants of the community. We create an environment where curiosity and wonder are a natural part of tamariki everyday experiences.   

Engagement

For us, Ako represents our passion for learning with and alongside each other.  Tamariki learn through play and our enquiry based programme, guided by the principles and strands of Te Whariki nurtures their natural curiosity, creativity, and imagination. We want our tamariki to be confident in their identity and strive to be the leaders of the future.

Passion drives the learning at North Beach. We see passion supported by fun and fun is a value that is prized and cherished.

We want every day our tamariki come to North Beach to be the best day of their life.
