Jobs at Kindercare- Bishopdale

“Hei whakamana i te mokopuna, hei kawe i nga wawata” is a Māori phrase that can be translated as “To empower the child, and to carry the aspirations.” At Kindercare Bishopdale, the care and learning opportunities we provide echoes this phrase and we believe our role as Kaiako is to provide a nurturing environment where children are empowered to confidently pursue a journey of lifelong learning.

Our home away from home environment offers a well-balanced curriculum, encouraging active exploration and discovery in an educational setting that’s fun. My team and I seek to provide kotahitanga, or holistic development, challenging children’s growth in a safe space. We value inclusivity, and the cultural diversity of our community, where whānau are respected, acknowledged and represented in their culture, values and beliefs. Because of this, we strongly encourage parents to be active participants in their children’s learning journey and to share their stories and knowledge.

Did you know the nearby stream Puharakekenui, was historically the main source of food in the community? To make connections with history and the present, and with people, places and things, we teach tamariki about the importance of this place as a way of acknowledging its mana whenua.

You’re invited to visit us anytime to experiencing our inviting rooms and spacious outdoor areas. We can’t wait to meet you, learn about your child and your whānau, and share what makes Kindercare Bishopdale so special.
