Children's wellbeing
↑A
"Children settle well and show a strong sense of belonging. Infants and toddlers experience a calm and peaceful environment with caring kaiako. RIE and primary care practices are used by kaiako to maintain trusting relationships with these younger children and their whānau."

Excellent sense of belonging, settling, and secure relationships established.
