Our Vision
Te wawata mātāmua
To provide the best possible Preschool experience through inspiring a love of learning, providing a stimulating, safe and nurturing environment and fostering genuine partnerships with whānau and community.
Ka whakaratoa te tino matauranga mō ngā kōhungahunga, ka whakaohohotia tō rātou kaingākau ki te ako, ka whakaritea te whare kia tautoko i tō rātou whanaketanga, ka whāngaia hoki te whanaungatanga ki ngā whānau me te hāpori.

Our Philosophy
Ngā whanonga pono
At Capital City Preschool we believe in providing a fun, stimulating and nurturing learning environment for our children with a strong focus on literacy and mathematics, socialisation, technology, sustainability, arts and culture and education. Kaiako and whānau work in partnership to build respectful, positive, kind, caring and meaningful relationships where the identity and values of all our children and whānau are welcomed and celebrated. We provide a high quality learning programme where we are instilling a love of learning into all our akonga ensuring they continue to grow into competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy and resilient in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they will have a successful future as global citizens.
We have a commitment to Te Whāriki (the early childhood curriculum) and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Both of these documents are woven into our everyday practices as we pay respect to the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Ki te Whare Kōhungahunga o Pōneke ka whakapono mātou ki te whakarite i te whare kia pārekareka, kia tautoko i ā mātou tamariki, kia ū hoki ki te mahi pānui, tuhituhi, pangarau, whakawhanaunga, hangarau, taiao, mahi toi, ahurea, me te takatū mō te kura. Ka mahi tahi ngā kaiako me ngā whānau kia whāngaia te whanaungatanga, kia whakamana i te tuakiri me ngā whanonga pono o ā mātou tamariki me ō mātou whānau katoa. Ka whakaritea e mātou tētahi hōtaka ako papai hei whakaohoohotia te kaingākau ki te ako ki ā mātou ākonga katoa. Ka tautoko i a rātou ki te whanake ki ngā ākonga matatau, ki ngā ākonga māia, kaha ki te whakawhiti whakaaro. Kia ora, kia aumangea i tō rātou hinengaro, i tō rātou tinana me tō rātou wairua, pūmau tonu ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae me te mōhiotanga he rangi tā rātou hei tangata o te ao.
He takohanga tō mātou ki Te Whāriki (he whāriki matauranga mō ngā mokopuna o Aotearoa) me Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Kua rarangahia ēnei tuhinga e rua ki rō ā mātou mahi ia rā, ia rā i a mātou e whakamana i te whakapapa tikanga rua o Aotearoa.
