Fantail Room

Four to five years

We see all children as competent and confident learners who take charge of their learning through play, observation and exploration of the world around them. We believe this important stage of a childs development to be a valuable aspect of their growth as they are discovering who they are and where they fit into the world. In the fantails they will develop essential social skills such as empathy, initiative through responsibility and develop a passion for learning.

We aim to provide support and guidance to each child as they build independence and a sense of identity. We feel this can be accomplished by creating opportunities within specifically designed environments which will both stimulate and challenge their interests, strengths and weaknesses.

Transition to school is an exciting journey for our children, our passionate educators provide both play based and teacher led opportunities to learn numeracy, literacy, science and art through setting up a free play environment, classroom sessions and a dedicated ready for school program.

We recognise that all parents fulfil the most important role as a child’s primary caregiver, so we aim to build respectful, reciprocal relationships with all whanau. We believe in open communication and participation in the child’s holistic development and encourage all parents/whanau participation in their child/children’s learning.

We value individuality and respect each child’s ethnic and cultural background. Each child’s interest, aspirations and needs are understood and respected. Our relationship with all tamariki will be respectful, reciprocal and responsive.

As educators of the Fantail Room, we are committed to uphold the values outlined in the Scribbles Early Education Centre philosophy. We aim to provide the highest quality care and education for all children.
