Hadlow Pre-School

We care
We believe in providing a safe, welcoming, respectful and happy learning environment, where all experience a sense of belonging and understanding of the bicultural heritage of New Zealand.

We educate
We believe that children benefit from a consistent, balanced programme that provides both planned learning experiences and free play, in a future focussed environment.

We challenge
We believe in supporting children’s learning by valuing and extending their interests and strengths, providing opportunities for them to learn new skills, acquire new interests and build relationships honouring their own and other cultures.

We empower
We believe in promoting children’s independence and self management skills so they gain confidence to take responsibility for their own learning.

We inspire
We believe that literacy and numeracy, along with the virtues form the back bone of our programme. Knowledge, skills and dispositions are enhanced through everyday experiences such as I.C.T, creativity, problem-solving, crafts, music and physical skills.
