Jump Start Kids Philosophy
Jump Start Kids is a learning community made up of children, their families, their teachers and our support team. No one operates in isolation and everyone has a valued place.
We celebrate the many cultures that make up this community while acknowledging Maori as Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa
Through the way that we teach and learn we encourage many valuable attributes such as curiosity, persistence, problem solving skills, imagination, creativity, cooperation and independence. We believe that these things will equip us to succeed in the twenty first century.
We follow the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum - Te Whariki to create a learning environment in which a high value is placed on literacy and numeracy experiences, physical development and self care appropriate to the age and developmental stage of each child.
We provide a safe, nurturing and respectful environment where trusting, supporting and listening to each other, while having fun, are paramount.
