The Y Massey
Y Massey offers high-quality childcare and early learning for children from birth to five years old. They provide a nurturing environment where children can learn and develop foundational skills, form healthy relationships and build self-reliance through the Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
Staff promote a positive environment that encourages sharing and expressing emotions through play and learning. They follow a curriculum that focuses on Te Whariki, or the National Early Childhood Curriculum, to ensure children are learning and developing in a variety of ways.
Leaders are clear about their role in child protection and actively monitor children’s behaviour to identify any gaps in learning. They use consistent approaches to reason with children and explain the right way to behave. They continue to explore professional development opportunities to sustain excellence in practice and teaching skills. They also make regular visits to the nursery to observe and assess the quality of teaching and learning taking place.
Te Whariki
Whangarei is home to many preschools and child-care services. These centres provide a safe and educational environment for young children. However, it is important to choose the right one for your needs.
Te Whariki, a national early childhood curriculum, can be imagined as a woven mat which weaves principles and strands together to develop a well-rounded curriculum. It is a curriculum that focuses on safety and nurture, as well as learning and development.
Te Whariki also acknowledges Maori culture as tangata whenua, and encourages the learning of Maori language. It aims to realise its vision for children: competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.
