MidCity Childcare Centre, Limited
Business Training in Hamilton

Upon enrolment you will be asked to nominate a 'booking time', the time you will attend on a daily basis. We trust these hours will suit you and you will be able to support the staff by adhering to your booking time. We believe that the importance of play as a vehicle for learning is respected and valued. Our teachers are intentional in the way they recognise and respond to opportunities to engage in and extend children’s learning. Our teacher practice incorporates the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and we embrace Christian values. This enables you to have increased involvement in your child's learning, enhancing support and therefore improving their learning outcomes. This will include photos of your child and wonderful Learning Stories that show how well our teachers know each individual child and how they extend the children through their interests, strengths and changing needs. This will be a precious snapshot of your child’s growth and development in their preschool years. We believe that siblings attending the centre should have the opportunity to spend time together. Some of our events so far have included our yearly Christmas party, a parent breakfast and our Cultural Evening. These are great times to get to know your childs friends and the teachers better. Some of our past trips have included trips to the airport, Raglan beach, the Museum and Kirikiriroa Marae. We will ensure every physical need is met from nappies to lunch to snuggly sleeps, we will challenge their minds and build their self esteem. Our Centre Philosophy was developed in conjunction with management, staff, and parents. This is what our centre's community believes to be important for children in their early years of learning. We will provide an environment where the children’s needs come first and where they feel that they have a place that they can call their own. All children will be treated as individuals and their needs will be met accordingly. The staff will create a loving and caring environment where children feel secure and happy. Children will have fun and develop a love of learning through our Educational Programme. Children’s interests will be respected, valued and incorporated into the programme. Children will experience an environment where they discover and develop different ways to be creative and expressive. Staff will regularly assess and evaluate the programme to celebrate and support each child’s learning and development. We will instil in children good morals and strong values to take with them on life’s journey. Management will provide a place where open communication is encouraged and valued. Staff will communicate in an honest and professional manner with management, parents whanau, and children. Parents are encouraged to spend time in the centre whenever possible and to discuss their needs and aspirations for their child. We will provide an environment where children, parents whanau and staff have a sense of belonging to Midcity. Children, parents whanau and staff will feel comfortable and aware of the routines, customs and regular events. We will endeavour to teach the children and their families our Christian principles and values. We understand the importance of and the appropriate practise with regard to tikanga Maori. Children, parents whanau will be encouraged to actively contribute to our centre programme. All staff, children, parents whanau will be treated equally irrespective of their gender, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs or background
