Oxford Kindergarten

"Children experience well-planned and resourced learning programmes and environments that promote their engagement, exploration and developing competencies across a broad range of learning experiences."

Intentional teaching, assessment and planning practices are exemplary and well-integrated.

"Transitions into and from the centre are very well managed and appropriately meet the needs of children and their families/whānau."

Children supported in belonging, transitions managed excellently, social-emotional outcomes strong.

"Parents are kept very well informed about their child's learning and development. Teachers value parents' views and seek their contributions to continually improve outcomes for children's learning and improve kindergarten practices."

Parent communication excellent, family voice valued and meaningfully integrated throughout.

"There is a strong, purposeful and ongoing commitment from the association and the kindergarten to deepen teachers' understandings and implementation of te ao Māori. Bicultural practices that reflect the dual heritage of Aotearoa are consistently reflected in teacher practices. There is a very strong and shared commitment to provide many opportunities for children to learn te reo and tikanga Māori."

Te reo, tikanga and te ao Māori perspectives embedded consistently throughout practice.

"The experienced head teacher models a culture of positive, responsive and collaborative teaching. Teachers benefit from a shared leadership approach which supports professional practice and grows their capability."

Strategic direction clear, professional learning embedded, collaborative culture developed.
