The philosophy of the Uptown Kids Childcare Centres are based on the principles and strands of Te Whariki curriculum. We value a supportive and safe environment where families and staff form a strong community working together for the care and education of the children of the community it serves.

The purposes and aims of the Centres encompass the following:

To recognise each individual child and their family as unique.

To value and respect the different cultural and social backgrounds.

To provide an environment where children and their families feel a sense of belonging and receive support.

To provide a safe and healthy environment for children and adults associated with the Centre.

To provide an environment that encourages spontaneous learning.

To provide a curriculum that empowers children to learn and grow.

To promote peaceful conflict resolution.

To acknowledge and foster the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
