Little Sparrows Educare (Leamington) Waikato

Qualified ECE teacher

Little Sparrows Leamington is a ‘family feel’ centre that strongly believes whanaungatanga is the at the core of all learning. With this strong focus we use tuakana/teina as an active teaching strategy to encourage critical thinking, strengthen peer relationships, encourage sharing of knowledge and building independence through communication, cognitive thinking, collaboration, and the sharing of responsibilities. This is reflected in our collaborative teaching practise where we actively encourage a shared leadership approach. We understand and encourage each kaiako to build on their own areas of expertise, this when shared helps bring a greater depth of teaching and builds a high level of communication and trust between colleagues.
