The lighthouse is a symbol of safety and security, it provides a safe place in the heart of a storm. We want to be that warm, safe and caring place, where all tamariki (children) and their whānau (families) feel accepted, loved and encouraged to develop to their fullest potential.

​

Nga Hononga (relationships) are at the core of what we do. These strong, attuned relationships support tamariki resilience and security. The sense of belonging, provided by warm and secure relationships, promotes tamariki investigation, exploration and risk taking.

​

We believe that parents are the first teachers, so we want to develop genuine, reciprocal relationships with families through communication and regular and positive interactions. We provide an open door policy where whānau are encouraged to discuss their dreams and aspirations for their tamaiti (child).
