Pineapples Early Learning Centre

Education & Care · Swanson

Pineapples Early Learning Centre was reviewed by ERO on 27 January 2023. Our analysis of the ERO report found children's wellbeing was graded B, with children experiencing a settled, calm environment with predictable routines and consistent staff support. Bicultural practice and leadership & governance were both graded C, with notes that te ao Māori has been incorporated into the philosophy but shared understanding and implementation in practice is inconsistent, and that while a strategic plan is established, systematic monitoring and documentation of improvement impact is lacking.
