"Whanaungatanga is integral to kaimahi and whānau practices. Kaimahi and kuia model aroha, whakapono and manaaki in their relationships with mokopuna. Every morning mokopuna acknowledge one another and adults during their time on the whāriki. The older mokopuna are gentle and careful in their interactions with their tēina."
Exemplary whanaungatanga relationships embedded; strong belonging, transitions and social-emotional development evident.
