Growing Young Minds with Heart
Curriculum and Learning
Mā te aurei o te tamaiti e ārahi i ā tātou mahi
Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work
Guided by Te Whāriki, Driven by Passion
At Edubase, our programmes are guided by Te Whāriki, our national ECE curriculum. Educators are supported by Visiting Teachers and many establish their own philosophy which becomes the driver for their programme. Every Educator is different and we acknowledge and celebrate that this is what sets Home Based ECE apart from other types of ECE available. A one size does NOT fit all approach means there are more opportunities for spontaneity and moving with the interests of the child over a regimented programme that can leave children uninterested or disengaged
Planning with Heart: Notice, Recognise, Respond
We support Educators to work within a planning framework of:
- Notice – Seeing what the child is interested in learning about
- Recognise – Setting learning priorities and outcomes based on Te Whāriki
- Respond – How the Educator supports this learning in meaningful ways
Sharing the Journey with Storypark
Children are set up with a Storypark account at no cost to families. This secure, digital space allows Educators to share learning stories and photos with parents and extended whānau, anywhere in the world. Families can keep their account active, even when children head off to school
Learning Beyond Four Walls
A big part of Home Based Care is being out and about, connecting with the community through events, playgroups, gym and music sessions. Educators create a curriculum that reflects the environments and cultures around them, supporting children to grow their social skills, confidence, and sense of belonging
