Being Not For Profit

We are a not for profit service of Napier Family Centre; our dream is for ALL children in our communities to receive a high standard of early childhood education and for all children to start school with good level of education, confidence, self-identity and culture.

While our services cater well for the full social economic range of our community, our ECE divisions remain not for profit. The values and beliefs of their origins also remain the same:

To provide every child an opportunity for early childhood learning so all children can start school with an equal level of education
To value parents and whānau involvement, recognising parents as first teachers
To embrace our bicultural curriculum and the principles of Kotahitanga; Whakamana; Whānau Tangata and Ngā Hononga. To ensure our practices are inclusive of Māori and acknowledge the different cultures of the families participating in our services
To provide environments that are nurturing, friendly, safe and secure
To provide holistic programmes that offers routines which are flexible; experiences which are varied and challenging; and opportunities for exploration and thinking
To recognise and support children as individuals and foster self-esteem
To reflect, report, document, assess, review and evaluate what we do to achieve best practices

Any surpluses made in our ECE divisions go back into Napier Family Centre to support families in our communities.

“Sunny Days children have the opportunity to socialise, learn and have fun and our purpose built environment offers children free access to a wide variety of learning experiences.”
