We respect children as confident individual learners, capable of setting their own challenges. Through play they develop their own ideas, make their own choices, initiating their own discoveries. Our friendly staff develop caring and trusting relationships with the children that will contribute to fostering the child’s education. Together an enriched learning environment is created. |
 |
YMCA and Y-Under Fives collaborate with parents, caregivers and whanau to engage in the child’s surroundings and know the whole child. We acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of our community and embrace the different ethnic, linguistic and social-cultural backgrounds from which our children come. Te Reo and Tikanga Maori have a special place in our centres.
Parents and whanau are an important part of Y-Under Fives. We welcome your involvement, whether via participation or contribution of resources and information. |

Y-Under Fives follows Te Whariki in developing and planning learning opportunities for the children. We offer a professional play environment for your child. Y-Under Fives embraces the YMCA values of Caring, Respect, Honesty and Responsibility in the early childhood centre. |
