The Just Kidz Vision
To be the highest quality early childhood provider within our communities.
Our Mission
A Fun Place to Learn”- Our mission is to provide quality, affordable childcare for children, ensuring they enjoy a safe, fun place to learn. We want to inspire young children to have a passion for learning and develop to their fullest potential as a result of our nurturing care and teaching guidance.
Our Philosophy
At Just Kidz, we strive to provide children with an authentic, high-quality environment that is warm, accepting, safe and welcoming to all. With the image of the child in mind, we base our philosophy on the New Zealand Early Childhood Education (ECE) Curriculum Te Whāriki with a strong inspirational influence from the educational philosophy of Reggio Emilia in Italy, and the Magda Gerber, Resources for Infant Educators (RIE) approach. In addition to this, we also recognise and incorporate NELP priorities (National Education Learning Priorities) in our practices. Our caring professional staff are highly focused on teamwork and are committed to supporting each individual child’s passion, skills and needs. We value each child’s holistic development and respect their aspirations, creativity, empowerment, confidence and a sense of belonging.
At Just Kidz, we value an environment based on learning through play, inspiring curiosity and encouraging explorations that develop into meaningful interactions among peers and our teaching team. We endeavour to create an environment that is inclusive of natural materials in order to foster respect for nature and encourage children to make their own discoveries and theories.
By recognising and valuing bicultural practices within our Centre, we are respecting the dual heritage of Aotearoa and embracing the mana of Māori and European culture and historical backgrounds. As well as embracing New Zealand’s bicultural heritage and the multicultural mix of our community, we also value the contribution and role played by parents and whānau and use open communication with reciprocal and responsive relationships with each child’s family.
With these beliefs interwoven in our daily practice, we strive to create young minds with great imagination and creativity to enable them to become lifelong learners. Children are encouraged to learn through experience and participation, thus allowing opportunities for problem-solving and risk-taking. Our teachers assist children in developing high self-esteem, cooperating with others, and showing mutual respect for one another. We are committed to providing high-quality education with qualified teachers who are flexible and open to change to facilitate continuous improvement.
