About
Kids Corner, trading as Matamata Childcare Centre, is owned and operated by a non-profit making incorporated society. An elected parent committee governs the centre. The centre was re-licensed in January 2015, following an extension of the facilities with the purchase of an adjacent house.
The centre is licensed to provide education and care for 75 children, including 25 under two years of age.x There are 16 teachers, 13 qualified and three unqualified. The centre is open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday to Friday and offers all day and flexible sessional care, in response to the needs of families. There are two separate learning areas that have better than minimum teacher-to-child ratios.
The experienced centre manager provides overall leadership for the centre. There are two team leaders that lead each of the age-group areas.
The centre's philosophy has recently been reviewed and aims to provide a culture of care and a child-led curriculum. Building relationships with children and whānau is important. They value and encourage cultural, social and physical diversities. Modelling tolerance and non-judgemental attitudes is a key part of enacting the centre's philosophy.
