Philosophy
Aorere College Childcare Centre teachers work to achieve optimum holistic development for each and every child. Each child will be accepted as unique and as bringing an exclusive set of capabilities and needs to the centre. Their perspectives, interests and desires will be respected and integrated into the curriculum through formal and informal planning.
We aim to provide children with a secure, stimulating environment that fosters, quality learning, respect, cooperation and sensitivity to Bi-cultural and Multi-cultural perspectives.
The centre environment will incorporate positive guidance using praise and encouragement for all efforts and achievements. Appropriate social interactions and peaceful, assertive conflict resolution strategies will be fostered.
Parents/Whanau and children will be encouraged to participate in the decision making of all aspects of the centre management and programme development. Their aspirations will be acknowledged and their contributions will be valued.

Statements from the centre’s last ERO Report
Children benefit from the centre’s inclusive, warm and settled environment and its strong sense of family/whanaungatanga.
Teachers are experienced, skilled and sensitive to children’s needs. They view and treat children as competent and capable learners who can make decisions and determine their own learning.
Teachers understand how children learn and encourage their curiosity and the development of their problem solving skills. Effective teaching strategies promote high levels of focus, concentration and self-motivated learning.
