Scallywaggs Senior Kindergarten's programme runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm, Monday to Friday, including school holidays
Senior Kindergarten teaching team: Chris, Beck, Mel and Lynne (Head Teacher)
Children arrive at Scallywaggs Senior Kindergarten with diverse skills, abilities and learning styles. We provide a nuturing environment with regular routines in order to make each child feel secure.
We are then able to acknowledge and support the positive dispositions, attitudes, and diversities the children and their families bring to our centre.
Children are provided with a huge range and variety of learning experiences on a daily basis designed around their interests, strengths, and needs. We encourage children to become investigative learners. By exposing children to authentic learning experiences and situations they make working theories of their world. These discoveries are supported and extended by their teachers and peers.
We welcome and encourage parents/whānau to participate in their child’s learning as much as possible and value open and honest communication.
Day to Day routines and learning experiences
- Children are provided with morning and afternoon tea, consisting of sandwiches and fruit or vegetables.
- Short outings in the Scallywaggs van and walks in the community are encouraged as much as possible. for example we visit the library, local parks, native bush reserves and other sites of interest for specific projects.
- We provide a variety of physcial opportunities. In addition, on Tuesday and Friday mornings we visit our onsite fun gym for planned activities.
