Nau mai, haere mai, WELCOME

Ngā Tamariki Early Childhood Centre (established 1987)

“The service’s philosophy of RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) promotes respectful caregiving and relationships-based interactions within the infants and toddlers learning environment. For older tamariki the learning environment is underpinned by the Reggio Emilia approach, where project and group inquiries support their problem solving and developing understanding of how the world works.”
