Our Philosophy

Your child is at the heart of everything we do at Creative Cubs.

​

We implement respectful, inclusive and reciprocal practices where Tamariki and Kaiako are seen as unique individuals that learn and grow together.

​

Relationships / whanaungatanga and communication / whakakakau are the focus of what we do.

 

We provide a welcoming and nurturing environment with individual learning opportunities set within a core curriculum that promotes manaakitanga including our core teaching values:

• Respect / Whakaute

• Inclusion / Whakauru

• Kindness / Atawhai

• Confidence / Māiatanga

• Curiosity / Pakiki

• Fun / Hākinakina​

​

At Creative Cubs the children’s education involves both child-let and intentional teacher- led opportunities to enhance each child’s holistic development. 

​

Our curriculum is rich in both shared and individual learning experiences that foster our core values and is complemented by our Montessori approach and supported by Te tiriti of Waitangi, celebrating our bi-cultural and multi-cultural culture, showing manaakitanga towards our children, their families, Whānau, Kaiako and wider community.

​

Our vision is for all children to be actively involved in their own learning, fostering curiosity, enabling them to become capable, competent and independent lifelong learners, healthy in mind, body and spirit.
