Our Philosophy

We appreciate every child as a unique and special individual, who will grow and develop at their own pace.
We believe in empowering children with knowledge and skills, and encouraging them to learn through play.

City Kids provides a fun, safe, inclusive environment, giving all children the opportunity for learning;
regardless of gender, culture, ability or special need.

We are committed to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
Our curriculum is based on the principles of Te Whaariki.

We value the links between home, City Kids and our diverse community.
We believe children are enriched through an understanding of our bi-cultural heritage, and knowledge of Te Reo and Tikanga Maori.

City Kids values open and sincere communication with parents.
We are committed to a partnership with parents and whanau.
We value their knowledge, skills and personal beliefs.

We believe in empowering children to take responsibility for their own conflict resolution in assertive, but peaceful ways.

We value high quality, trained, teachers and actively support the ongoing professional development of staff.
We believe children should have the opportunities to learn alone; and with the support of a teacher.
