At Mini Thinkers our philosophy is underpinned by the principles and strands of Te Whariki (the national early childhood education curriculum) and informed by the New Zealand Curriculum (Level One) and Montessori Education.

 

Our curriculum is designed around four themes that reflect our mission, philosophy and approach towards learning. These themes - thinking, moving, experiencing and exploring - have been divided into our Mini Thinkers Learning Progressions.

 

Each progression is informed by the latest early childhood education research and are age-appropriate to suit the different stages of development. 

​

Our daily programme is structured around these Learning Progressions and supported by our three methods.
