The Wishing Tree Early Learning Centre

Our learning centre has been strongly influenced by the Reggio Emilia Philosophy; hence its beauty and natural feel! Our innovative environments have been carefully designed and abundantly resourced with natural resources to encourage children's creativity and social interactions There is a love for natural materials found throughout the inside and outdoor spaces, which invites and offers children the opportunity to explore the wonderful sensory experiences nature has to offer. Children learn through investigations based on their interest. And as teachers we thrive to provide this through our child-centered philosophy which is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and is based on the principles and goals of Te Whariki, New Zealand's national curriculum.
