Why
you should enrol your child for their future success in life?
Join the many parents that are finding the answer of where
their child can go for a safe, happy and exciting environment
and where the staff are specially trained to engage children
in an innovative programme designed to their individual natural
abilities. Parents quickly gain the confidence that our staff,
programme and what they can now do at home with their children
focusses on what they are interested in and what will lead
to success at school and in later life.
Our
principle and our philosophy, aims involve developing a child's
strong self-worth and a love of learning. We do this by using
the framework of multiple intelligence theory and research.
|
|
 |
|
| We
aim to develop the early emergence of a positive self image
and a love of learning. In addition we encourage the appropriate
development of independence, social, emotional management, communication
and analysis skills and knowledge. Parents should visit our
centre to see and hear more about our programme aims and strategies;
especially about developing the 8 different intelligences and
preparation for school and life. |
|
 |
|
| Whilst
the planned activities provide a structure, equally important
to facilitating development for each child is the proactive
role of the teacher in promoting learning opportunities with
positive guidance and careful observation for each child, which
is assured with the quality staff-child ratios and specialist
training. |
|
 |
|
| A
special feature of the programme is the ongoing formal assessment
of each child in terms of their development, so that both teachers
and parents are aware of the child's current learning challenges
and progress. Parents of children enrolled at Prodigy Centres
have the benefit of understanding their child in terms of our
research and innovative multiple intelligence framework in which
we help identify your child's natural advantage and potential. |
|
 |
|
| Children
have access to a range of specially designed and resourced 'learning
centres' inside and out. These provide a safe but stimulating
environment for children during and between programmed activities. |
|
 |
|
| Your
child will be included with a small group of children of similar
development age. They will be involved in activities with their
own group and also in larger groups during the day. |
|
 |
|
| The
centre is only one of five in New Zealand that has been accredited
to provide the innovative prodigy programme and assessment systems,
focussing on the development of multiple intelligences in childen.
|
|
 |
|
| Activities
are planned and organised to stimulate the children to explore
and learn about important parts of life and our community. Using
a range of themes and topics as a background, we provide opportunity
for expression such as in artwork, construction, role play,
dance, song, stories, exploration. |
