Building trusting relationships at our Treetops preschool centres

Treetops Preschools emphasises the importance of building trusting relationships as new teachers and children join the community. Adapting to changes fosters growth and requires patience. Through cooperation and conflict, children develop essential skills like empathy and resilience. The supportive environment encourages tamariki to explore and express themselves, ensuring holistic development.

A splash of paint

Painting in Early Childhood Centres (ECC) fosters creative expression and social development among tamariki, teaching them essential life skills like sharing and collaboration. It promotes emotional intelligence and self-awareness through self-expression. Aligned with the Te Whāriki framework, painting activities support play-based learning, enhancing cognitive skills, problem-solving, and communication in a rich, engaging environment.
