Little Doves Early Learning Centre

"Planning for learners is multilayered and collaborative. Teachers constantly document their observations of children, their interests and dispositions, and plan teaching strategies to promote and enhance their learning."

Multilayered collaborative planning with consistent observation-based assessment and teaching strategies.

"Teaching and learning are a collaborative process where teachers and children are partners, and parents and whānau actively contribute. A strong sense of community is evident, where all are involved in decision making to ensure children thrive, grow and learn."

Parents and whānau actively contribute and participate in decision-making for children's learning.

"Te reo Māori, tikanga Māori and te ao Māori intrinsically inform the design of the environment and curriculum within each learning space. Leaders and teachers consult with kaumātua and Te Herenga Waka o Orewa to support them in their commitment to become active Treaty of Waitangi partners."

Te reo, tikanga and te ao Māori embedded in curriculum design; active Treaty partnership commitment.
