Our Philosophy
Kidz World believes that each child has a right to equitable learning opportunities and to be accepted,
valued and respected as an individual.
This core belief guides our approach to teaching and our understanding of how children learn.
Children learn through play in an environment providing diverse interest areas that offer rich play opportunities.
Teachers planning draws on curriculum knowledge, creating an environment using a wide variety of quality resources that are skillfully used to enhance children’s learning and development through play
“Playful Learning is the magic that takes place when we meld a child’s sense of joy and wonder with thoughtfully planned learning experience”
(Playful Learning: Develop Your Child’s Sense of Joy and Wonder by Mariah Bruehl)
Children’s learning will be benefitted by strong connections between their whanau and teachers.
Naku te rourou nau te rourou ka ora ai te iwi With your basket and my basket there will be plenty for all.
