Take a moment and imagine…..

Picture your child taking snapshot images of everything they see and do.

Your children, your pride and joy absorb everything they experience, taking in not only language, but the traits of you

as a whole whānau and of the community that surround them.

What your child takes in is taken effortlessly and remains as the foundation to their personality known as,

‘THE ABSORBENT MIND’. 

Your child’s absorbent mind becomes actions carried out of their being, knowing and doing,

behaviours are learnt and more growth are gained.

Children learn more by doing, when doing children gain deeper self-confidence to participate

within the environment as an individual STAR.

Your child’s contribution within our learning environment is always very evident.
