ERO review

Education Review · 2025-07-17

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
B
"Children eagerly and actively engage in a good quality programme based on Te Whāriki and the Playcentre philosophy. Children learn through and lead their own play. They explore concepts of literacy, numeracy and science in meaningful ways and are encouraged to be creative and imaginative."

Good quality Te Whāriki-based programme with child-led learning and engagement.
