Sharing learning experiences between Kindergarten and Home.

Thanks to Zac's family for sharing his interests and  experiences- enabling us to get on board and use them in our planned programme for him. Here's his learning story and a digital voiced version of his story about his holiday that enables him to assess his own work and plan new adventures....

Planning Strategically

You might have been with us part way through last year when the Wellington Kindergarten Association merged with the Rimutaka Kindergarten association- forming a new Association 'He Whānau Manaaki o Tararua Free Kindergarten Assn Inc'. You might more commonly see it as He Whānau Manaaki Kindergartens.The name was gifted to the association  by Sir Tamati and Lady Reedy- highly respected educationalists and important participants in the writing of our national early childhood curriculum "Te Whāriki" which is world renowned.  The name  means 'The caring family of Tararua'  and is  relevant to both associations.
