      <image:caption>This year we are excited to have James from Playball join our extra-curricular programme each Friday. Playball is a fun-filled, high quality session where our tamariki are encouraged to engage in a wide range of age appropriate physical experiences which will prepare them for a life-long love of sports participation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Curriculum - Little Learners Love Literacy</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Capital City Preschool, our literacy approach is guided by our Liz Kane Literacy framework using Little Learners Love Literacy, a research-based structured literacy programme designed for young learners. We intentionally weave phonological awareness, oral language, and early alphabet knowledge through play, storytelling, music, art, and everyday conversations, ensuring literacy learning is joyful, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate. Aligned with Te Whāriki and our mana-enhancing philosophy, this approach supports all learning styles and nurtures confident, capable communicators who develop a genuine love of literacy as they prepare for school.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Curriculum - Excursions</image:title>
      <image:caption>Excursions provide us with the opportunity to explore the Central City and make the most of places such as Te Papa, Waitangi Park, The Botanical Gardens, Frank Kitts Park, Capital E and the Wellington Museum. This provides tamariki with the opportunity to form relationships with people and places, as well as to teach our tamariki about road rules and how to keep safe.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pathways to School Group Tamariki join our pathways to School group 4-6 months before they start School. The focus for this group of tamariki is to ensure that they have the independence and self-help skills needed for School, as well as a basic understanding of literacy and numeracy concepts, social skills and the ability to listen and pay attention at group times, all of which will support a smooth transition into School life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Curriculum - Te Ao Māori</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Capital City Preschool, we are committed to honouring and embedding a Māori world view (Te Ao Māori) within our daily practice. This encompasses the revitalisation and natural use of Te Reo Māori, alongside tikanga practices, mātauranga Māori, and values such as manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and kaitiakitanga. Te Ao Māori is woven authentically through our curriculum — in our pepeha, waiata, karakia, storytelling, localised learning, and everyday conversations. Our Kaiārahi and leadership team intentionally embed these principles within our strategic planning and documentation, ensuring that te ao Māori is not an add-on, but a living, visible, and thriving part of our preschool culture.</image:caption>
