Seedlings Philosophy / Kaupapa Pihinga

Seedlings Nature Kindergarten is a place of fun, exploration, wonder, learning and being together as people who care for and respect Papa-tu-a-nuku. 

 

Seedlings Philosophy:

• We are akonga/learners who have the kaha/courage to have a go, take risks, reflect, accept and learn.

You will feel & see...collaboration, tautoko/support, empowerment, resilience.

• We experience koa/joy through self-expression and self-regulation, and develop our identity within the ropu/group through aroha/love.

You will feel & see...acceptance, emotional intelligence, humour, rangimarie/peace.

• We acknowledge and celebrate whanaungatanga/relationships, with each other and Papa-tu-a-nuku/Mother Earth, recognizing our uniquness.

You will feel & see...oneness, being together, unhurried, spaciousness.
