We see ourselves as one big family; the children, their families and the Magnolia Tree team are all in a relationship. 

THIS LOOKS LIKE:
Every family has a whānau teacher, a special person to form a bond with, everyone operating from a culture of kindness, nurturing well-being and secure attachments.

We are a place of natural grass, dirt, sand and authentic experiences, a child’s home awayfrom home.

THIS LOOKS LIKE:
Meaningful rituals guiding the flow of the day, children and teachers out in the garden, exploring the natural world and all its learning opportunities.

Children’s play is their work; they can explore, experiment, and follow their interests and be extended by intentional teaching experiences. 

THIS LOOKS LIKE:
Children are honoured as unique individuals with the right to choose their direction of learning, with teachers intentionally broadening the curriculum.

Magnolia Tree Childcare Whatawhata is built on relationships with tamariki and their whānau; with our colleagues and together, we make up our Magnolia Tree whānau.

Our relationships are built on genuine care, love and respect for one another.

The Magnolia Tree whare is our home, the space we “live in” during the working day.

We care for our home, ensuring it is loved, beautifully presented, and inspires learning and play for everyone.

Magnolia Tree kaimahi are passionate about providing high-quality teaching and leadership, about empowering tamariki and each other to reach their full, incredible potential.
