WHO ARE we?
Our team at Small Sprouts embrace Te Whāriki, whilst weaving elements of both the RIE approach and Reggio Emilia principles. We prioritise respectful relationships, valuing each child’s uniqueness and journey. Our environment is curated to foster exploration and creativity with beautiful natural materials and open-ended opportunities. We believe in authentic learning experiences that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and self-expression. Partnership with our whānau is integral, we're focused on cultivating a community and environment where your child can thrive, their individuality is embraced, and their potential is nurtured.
Prior to Small Sprouts our previous provider had an ERO Report (7 June 2024). The findings can be located - HERE.
