Little Seed Philosophy

Children, like seeds, are small but rich with possibility. Sow with care and reap healthy young people with enormous ability.

At little Seed Early Learning Centre, we are committed to nurturing the “whole” child in a loving, safe, healthy and holistic environment.

Our ethos

  • To love our children and to protect their future 
  • To learn and grow together from and of, the land
  • To create and innovate together as one big family

Our vision:

Our vision is about putting our children and their future first. We believe we have the roles as kaitiakitanga “guardianship” with obligation to families, the environment, and kaiako to transmit the mātauranga/knowledge to the future generation, ensuring sustainable knowledge and practices continue, and making a valuable contribution to our environment and community.

We acknowledge and respect our tamariki/children's culture, their Mana, their values and virtues. We also believe it is fundamental to affirm and seek to reflect bi-culturalism through the way we see our every single child as a unique seed. 

We learn and grow together by practising and embracing many of our guiding values which include Atawhai “kindness and generosity”, Manaakitanga/respect and Aroha/love through our daily practices and relationships. We respect the natural unfolding of each child's intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, creative and spiritual development as well as their interests, skills, capabilities and learning dispositions.

We believe that positive and reciprocal relationships with parents and whānau are the cornerstone of our partnership. We commit to create this learning environment for our tamariki where our ideas are connected, Mauri/uniqueness is acknowledged, and sustainable and healthy lifestyle are embraced and promoted by our taganta/people.
