Goodness, beauty and truth are three of the underlying values in Steiner education.

Imagine a kindergarten where children trust the world is a good place. They feel it, hear it and see it.
Imagine a primary school where children experience the world as a beautiful place and they become interested in it.
Imagine a secondary education where young people can be thoughtful and truthful, and see a world they want to contribute to.

Nanny Mihi And The Rainbow is a favourite kindergarten story. We tell it as a puppet story using cloths and found materials.
As well as learning colours in te reo Māori, tamariki are also learning about sequencing and the natural and spiritual worlds.
Although we have books for the exploration of literacy, nothing is as powerful as told stories and puppetry. Giving tamariki ideas in a picture form is really what grows their imagination.

Birthdays in our Kindergarten are a celebration of the unique individuality of each child. A birthday celebration sensitively touches on the questions:
‘What is it to be a human being?’ ‘Who am I really?’

And, ‘Why am I on the earth with you?’

A garden nourishes the senses and bring nature back into the lives of children.
