LovingCare Kindergarten

Our Story

LovingCare Kindergarten provides an educational programme based on a Christian philosophy. We cater for interests and abilities of each child.

Learning stories are written for each child, and a portfolio made for parents to get to know what their child is doing at kindergarten. This information is used to build a programme based on the Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whāriki.

Christian philosophy - Christian philosophy and values are incorporated into our learning throughout the day.

FMS - there are opportunities for the children to participate in a range of physical activities and Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS), including jumping, balancing, coordination, ball skills etc.

Cooking/Baking - children have the opportunity to participate in preparing food for themselves and each other by using the vegetables in our garden.

School readiness - We believe that children learn through play. Children have the opportunity to develop their self help skills, social & emotional skills, early literacy & numeracy, and the confidence of being a life-ling learner in their play. We endeavour to work together with the families and the school to provide a happy transition to school. We have the Waitakere City library bus visit us regularly. We also have 4 year olds taking turns to visit a local school and participating on a Monday outdoor nature learning experience.

Multi cultural - we acknowledge the children's first language and cultures.
