At Mahurangi Kindergarten children and their families are our  central focus. 

We believe that every child comes to kindergarten capable and competent. To enhance this, we create a changing environment that reflects the magic and wonder of childhood and stimulates children to enrich their interests and skills.

We encourage social competence and relationships, providing opportunities for children to work together to build each others skills. We see these connections as lifelong, acknowledging the vital role these relationships play in our small community. 

We foster caring and respectful relationships with children, their families and their community.  We value the uniqueness of their cultures and experiences. 

We foster a love of the natural world to promote healthy relationships with the environment. 

The qualities of atawhai (parent support), tuakana teina (peer teaching) and ako (teaching and learning) are practiced alongside the Reggio Emilia philosophy to create a community of learners. 

We strive to foster a lifelong love of learning.

At Mahurangi Kindergarten we celebrate the power of children.
