"The learning outcomes from Te Whāriki the early childhood curriculum are not consistently evident or used within assessment, planning and evaluation processes. Teachers are in the early stages of exploring the Te Whāriki learning outcomes and showing children's developing capabilities and learning over time in relation to them."
Te Whāriki outcomes not consistently implemented; early-stage exploration only.
"Children's social and emotional wellbeing is promoted as they learn within a mixed age group setting. Key teachers support children to take responsibility for their own learning. Transitions for infants and toddlers are facilitated through responsive interactions and reciprocal relationships."
Wellbeing promoted through responsive interactions and transition support.
"Parents have opportunities to contribute to their child's learning."
Parents have opportunities to contribute to child's learning.

Some bicultural practices evident; culturally responsive curriculum still developing.
