Philosophy
Diversity At Fun N Play, we believe that every
child is a special and unique individual that
brings with them the talents and strengths of
their family, tribes and ancestries. We care
deeply about upholding an inclusive environment
that supports each childs heritage. We show this
by creating a warm, caring, stimulating and safe
environment, where each child feels welcomed.

True Play Holistic learning plays an important
role in our Centre. We strive to give our
tamariki the space, time and opportunity to be
involved in meaningful and purposeful learning
experiences. We promote the right for each
tamariki to reach their full potential by
allowing them to experiment and explore their
environment and working theories. We believe
through True Play Learning tamariki will be
able to develop their valuable lifelong learning
skills and become confident and competent
learners.
Family Through collaboration, our Centre has
developed authentic friendships within the
community and local Whanau. We want all Parents
and Whanau to feel at home in our Centre by being
open, trusting and responsive to all their needs
and suggestions. It is essential to value and
respect the unique knowledge and contributions of
Whanau in the decision-making process around the
childrens care and education. This helps ensure
that we can provide an environment that
demonstrates equity, integrity, inclusivity and
respect for all children.

Professional Standards and the Early Childhood
Curriculum, Te Whariki. For us, professionalism
is the standard we measure ourselves by. We
demonstrate this through our positive
relationships, conduct, communication and
partnerships with colleagues and parents.
