We value whanaungatanga/relationships and partnerships with tamariki, parents, whānau and the wider Clayton Park community. At Clayton Park kindergarten we have a team of four qualified teachers and an unqualified teacher who provides cover during our breaks. Our philosophy is to foster children’s interests and creativity, develop independence and life skills and to promote sustainable environment
al practices.We are an Enviroschools kindergarten. We encourage sustainable practices such as reduce, reuse and recycle. We have a kindergarten “Care code” which reminds us to care for the environment and each other. Gardening, composting and looking after the worm farm is part of our everyday experience.Clayton Park kindergarten has an ongoing reciprocal relationship with Clayton Park School. Each week some of our older children visit the new entrants classroom. The children in the new entrants classroom/s visit us on a weekly basis. We are invited to participate in school activities.
