When children are loved, nurtured, and empowered they will thrive. A sense of belonging/mana whenua is central to children’s wellbeing, hence “My Preschool.” We believe that like “My Home, My Mum, My Koru, My brother, My Dad, My Grannie...” at My Preschool children are at their best when they have ownership, feel safe, valued and respected. We understand for children to be empowered, to grow, to thrive, first comes belonging/ mana whenua. At My Preschool we partner with parents and Whanau to nurture children. We support their growth, development and learning through love, joy, play, nature, the outdoors and inquiry.
