Welcome to Tiny Legends

A warm place to learn, play and belong.

Every tamaiti is unique, capable and full of potential. We provide a welcoming and nurturing environment where tamariki feel safe, secure and confident as they learn, play and grow.

Strong, responsive relationships sit at the heart of Tiny Legends. We work alongside whānau to understand each child’s strengths, interests, culture, identity and aspirations for their learning.

02

Numbers, patterns, shapes, measurement and problem-solving through everyday play.

03

Literacy

Reo Matarau

Conversation, stories, music, mark-making and a rich love of language.

04

Social & Emotional

Understanding emotions, self-regulation, empathy and relationships.

05
