- That teachers support the children to explore and make mistakes.
- The children have their ideas reinforced.
- Thoughts and contributions to the centre environment are valued.
- Teachers work to help children to become confident in themselves, the things they are interested in, and what they are doing and learning.
- Children are given the opportunity to have a say in what goes on in the centre and what they get involved in.
- Children are given options so that they can experiment and explore different things.

How did we see this in our centres?
- teachers supervised and supported children without stepping in to take over straight away. They waited until either the child asked for help and looked like they really needed it or if it was necessary.
- both of our centres focused on free play which gave the children lots of opportunities to take control of their own learning. Different activities were set up each day to give the children a variety of experiences.

This vision involves "Competent and confident learners, and communicators in mind body and spirit, secure in their belonging and the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society." 

-To aid the reciprocal relationships between teachers and whānau, with the expectation that in the early years of a child's life that they experience a curriculum that empowers them for their future journey in education. 

Our picture shows the different stages of early childhood infancy, toddlers, and young children all taking part valued experiences with in curriculum activities that boost their sense of wellbeing, belonging and empowerment and holistic development.

Along with, that a child’s whole-being is acknowledged by teachers, so a child is made to feel important when taking control of their own learning, creating a sense of competency. This image resembles a boy who has been given the encouragement to be secure in what he believes in and his self, and that he has been encouraged to persevere for all his endeavours. I love that the boy in my image is dressed as a hero, I think it is important that teachers prepare children that their actions affect society, and that they are super heroes with responsibilities for themselves, whānau and society. https://padlet.com/canterbury/toyoogoztnep/wish/180570433 - June Caples]]> 2017-08-10 05:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/canterbury/toyoogoztnep/wish/180570433
