Grounded in Te Whāriki
Our learning approach is guided by Te Whāriki – New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum. It weaves together the strands of belonging, wellbeing, contribution, communication and exploration into everyday learning.
At Future Focus, we personalise these strands to each child’s strengths, needs and identity. This means your tamaiti learns in a way that reflects their culture, personality, and natural curiosity.
