Karori Childcare Centre Philosophy

We promote a sense of community through the involvement and interactions of our children, teachers and Whānau. Working in partnership with parents and whānau will enrich children’s learning. We value our community of learners through respectful, accepting, reciprocal and responsive interactions between each member. We enhance our children’s learning through the interactions of children of mixed ages, resembling a whānau model. We uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our practises reflect the unique place of Tangata Whenua and the inherent principle of partnership. We are committed to incorporating Te Reo me Tikanga Maori throughout our programme. We take pride in our diversity and value differences of gender, race, ability, cultural background and religion. We will acknowledge all people as individuals with differing needs, interests and contributions to make. We uphold the principles and strands of Te whāriki, and empower each child and their families by taking a holistic approach to each child's learning and development. Our learning environment acknowledges consideration of meaningful and interesting tasks; the active involvement of learners, both children and adults. There are opportunities for all learners to express their ideas and interests which form the basis of our planning.

He pānui hou! We have exciting news! 📣

We are excited to let you know that KCC has launched a new website and a refreshed centre logo. This mahi has been happening behind the scenes for a while, and we are so proud to finally share it with you.

Our new look has been designed to reflect our beautiful surroundings in Karori and to give you an insight into who we are and what we do.

Over the past few months we have been working together to create a new website and logo that truly shows the heart of our centre, our philosophy, our taiao and the beautiful learning that happens everyday.

It is easier to navigate, whānau-friendly, and a welcoming place for new whānau or current whānau wanting to learn more about us or keep up to date.

Explore our philosophy, environment, and whānau information, all in one easy place.

Kia Ora whānau,

Been a while since we've posted here.... We've had a particularly busy year at KCC.

As most of you might know ECE teachers all over the motu went on strike yesterday afternoon!

We wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to all our KCC whānau for supporting us both in person and online in our endeavour to achieve better funding, better ratios and funding to support full pay parity!

Goodbye and best of luck to Alyssa! In ECE 13 years is an amazing milestone to reach in one place. Her kindness, experience and knowledge will be sorely missed by the whole KCC community, particularly our tamariki.

KCC has opted into extended pay parity from 01/01/23 one of only 34% of centres 👏🏽

Has your centre opted-in to extended Pay Parity? This could mean a significant pay rise if you are an experienced teacher, so make sure your centre is on the list.

If you’re not on the list, join with your colleagues and let your employer know that the extra Pay Parity steps are important to you and your team! We all need to come together to kōrero with the government about how important it is for ECE teachers to get paid fairly.

See the full list here --> https://bit.ly/parity-nov

If you’re an NZEI Te Riu Roa member you can call or email for personalised support. If you’re not a member yet, join your colleagues in your union NZEI Te Riu Roa to fight for full Pay Parity & better conditions! You can join your union here: nzeiteriuroa.org.nz/join
