Learning Priorities
Our learning priorities are the guiding principles shaping our philosophy. These priorities, from fostering a growth mindset through risk-taking to celebrating culture and identity, create an enriching environment for tamariki to thrive. Explore how they contribute to your child's holistic development at Bright Beginnings.
Learning to learn
Through our child-centered approach, we empower tamariki to become lifelong learners, nurturing their innate curiosity and love for learning.
Risk Taking
We believe that risk-taking is a vital tool for developing a growth mindset and inner resilience in tamariki, fostering their ability to embrace challenges.
Natural Environment
Our expansive natural environment provides the ideal setting for tamariki to explore and extend their physical capabilities, promoting free movement and play at a natural pace.
Culture and identity
At Bright Beginnings, we celebrate the culture and identity of each child, fostering a rich understanding of diversity and the bicultural partnership inherent within Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Active play
We prioritise active play, recognising its role in physical well-being and motor development, allowing tamariki to learn through movement and creative exploration
Independence and self-help skills
Every child leaves our center with increased confidence and essential practical life skills, nurturing their independence and self-sufficiency.
Social and Emotional
We emphasize responsive interactions and relationships between kaiako, whānau, and tamariki, supporting the development of social and emotional strategies crucial for positive relationships.
