We continue to strive for quality ratio to ensure the wellbeing of all children attending are taken care of and to maximize their learning.

​

Quality ratio supports supervision, health and safety practices and provides more opportunities for meaningful interactions.

We offer an inclusive learning environment for our children to explore different areas of learning. Our open indoor and outdoor space allows for reciprocol learning where children practice social skills such as tuakana-teina. This is a Maori concept of younger and older siblings learning from each other. Learning alongside our kau faiako, other children and the environment provides opportunities for open ended learning and communication. 

​

Akoteu Falemaama believes that all children and their families have the right to access high quality early childhood education. This right is not affected by disability, gender, socio economic backgrounds, nationality or cultural beliefs.

Inclusive practices are intended to identify and remove barriers to full acceptance, participation and learning for all children.

We welcome all parents, kainga and visitors with our Friendly Island of Tonga vibes once you step foot into our  inviting environment and greeted by our awesome staff.

In this foyer, you will find information for parents such as staff profiles, policies, notices and resources displayed.

This is where parents sign their children in and out each day and also where visitors sign in the Visitor's book.
