Sunshine Childcare Preschool

"Children have opportunities to explore parts of the natural world and learn in a play-based environment. Māori learners experience aspects of their culture. There is some use of te reo Māori, waiata, and karakia practices."

Play-based learning evident; cultural practices emerging but minimal resources and inconsistent implementation.

"Infants and toddlers learn in an unhurried and calm environment. Individual rhythms and routines are catered for. Their belonging is promoted. Outdoor experiences are not integrated into their curriculum."

Calm environment and belonging for infants; outdoor learning not integrated into curriculum for older children.

"Parents and teachers acknowledge that further development is required to support the needs of these children and extend their learning."

Partnership acknowledged as needing development; limited evidence of proactive family engagement systems.

"Systems to monitor and respond to children's health and safety are not well positioned to improve the quality of care."

Health and safety systems not yet well-developed for continuous improvement.

"Evaluation and professional growth systems are established but are not yet supporting continuous improvement or identifying evidence of outcomes for children. To inform change, leaders are beginning to analyse assessment, planning and the experienced curriculum."

Systems emerging; leaders beginning analysis but not yet driving continuous improvement or outcomes focus.
