Bunny Childcare Philosophy
Nurturing Skills, Values and Knowledge for Life
At Bunny Childcare Centre, we believe we are making a difference by nurturing the next generation with the skills, values and knowledge to lead a fulfilled and sustainable life.
Enticing & Challenging Environments
We create environments that invite curiosity, challenge thinking and encourage children to explore, express themselves and develop a love of learning.
Social & Emotional Competence
We acknowledge and validate children’s feelings, supporting empathy, kindness, compassion and positive relationships.
Environmental Stewardship
As kaitiaki of the whenua, we support sustainable routines such as recycling, composting, caring for our hei hei and looking after our māra.
Guided by Te Whāriki
Our holistic approach is underpinned by Te Whāriki, supporting each child’s wellbeing, learning and development in a balanced environment.
Multicultural & Inclusive
We celebrate the diverse cultures of our whānau, tamariki and wider hapori, helping children respect and understand the world around them.
Guided by Te Whāriki
