Our Early Learning Approach
At Remarkable Kids, we believe in child-led learning, where tamariki explore, discover, and grow at their own pace.
Children thrive when they are encouraged to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace. At Remarkable Kids, our child-led approach, based on Te Whāriki, New Zealand’s Early Childhood Curriculum, fosters curiosity, confidence, and essential skills through structured play and early education.
Play-Based Education
Learning happens best through hands-on experiences. Our play-based curriculum nurtures creativity, problem-solving, and motor skills through:
- Hands-on Activities – Painting, building, and sensory play develop fine motor skills and creativity.
- Outdoor Play – Active exploration promotes physical health, teamwork, and independence.
- Creative Arts – Music, dance, and storytelling enhance cognitive and emotional development.
- Early Science & Numeracy – Simple experiments and number games introduce foundational concepts in a fun, engaging way.
School Readiness Programme
A smooth transition to primary school requires both academic and personal readiness. Our programme builds:
- Early Literacy – Phonics-based reading, letter recognition, and storytelling improve language skills.
- Numeracy Skills – Counting, patterns, and simple problem-solving lay a strong mathematical foundation.
- Independence & Self-Management – Routines, task completion, and goal-setting prepare children for structured learning environments.
Social & Emotional Growth
Confidence, resilience, and communication skills are vital for lifelong success. We foster:
- Self-Expression – Guided activities help children articulate thoughts and emotions.
- Friendships & Cooperation – Group play encourages teamwork, sharing, and active listening.
- Resilience & Problem-Solving – Overcoming small challenges builds confidence and adaptability.
At Remarkable Kids, our balanced approach ensures that every child is nurtured, engaged, and prepared for the next stage of their learning journey.
