Please click above to find out more about our intent, implementation and impact.
At Harrington Nursery School our curriculum acknowledges;
“I come not with my own strengths but bring with me the gifts, talents and strengths of my family, tribe and ancestors.” (Te Whariki:12)
Our intent is to build on children's experiences enabling Every Child to Succeed.
Language and Communication and Reading is at the heart of our curriculum. Our ambition is for all children to become effective and skillful communicators, developing ways to express themselves based on their own ideas and experiences and to acquire a love of reading.
At Harrington Nursery School our curriculum truly reflects our vision for learning and is carefully planned to offer rich, meaningful and joyful experiences for all children. At Harrington, our intention is for all children to learn through a mix of dynamic, hands on learning experiences supported by highly skilled and caring adults. The curriculum is delivered through the many experiences provided, the resources and the interactions that are built into play and the occasions of ‘direct teaching’ throughout the day, everyday. The learning environment is linked to how and what children learn and is valued as a ‘teacher’!

We aim to:

Our curriculum focuses on the following key areas:
Understanding Feelings
Achieving Goals
Making Relationships
Staying Healthy
Celebrating Differences
This approach enables children to develop the qualities and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, families members and members of society.
