It is underpinned by Te Whāriki, The New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum and the National Education and Learning Priorities (NELPs). The qualified teachers have sound knowledge of children as learners and how to facilitate learning through play."
Sound curriculum design aligned to Te Whāriki; effective play-based pedagogy; emerging implementation.

"Governance require support to better understand their roles and responsibilities in the early childhood context. Centre staff take responsibility for strategic planning and policy review. Trustees need to be more involved in this work. It is not clear how trustees will realise the service vision or guide and monitor the strategic direction of the service. The new manager, although appointed in 2022, has not had her professional capability assessed."
Trustees lack clarity on roles; manager lacks performance appraisal; strategic planning not trustee-engaged.
