Cambridge Kindergarten |

Email: cambridge@kindergarten.org.nz
Children's play is children's work is children's learning.
Cambridge Kindergarten is a community facility located close to the centre of the rural town of Cambridge.
The first kindergarten established in Cambridge, it has a spacious building within an extensive half acre play area surrounded by mature trees and native planting.
This provides space for challenges and adventures, along with room to explore and experiment.
We provide early childhood education for rural and town children from a diverse socio-econmic background.
The staff are all experienced, fully registered and trained teachers. We plan for children to develop their skills, interests and knowledge in a well resoureced, rich, natural environment.
Flexibility and spontaneity are key elements within the programme to work to the child's agenda and enable teachable moments to be captured.
Children can be put on the waiting list at any time and admission to the session is in birth date order as places become available.
Children start kindergarten early in their 3rd year as vacancies occur, attending afternoon sessions on:
* Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1.00pm to 3.30pm
For afternoon session this Kindergarten offers parents the opportunity to access 7.5 hours of Free Early Childhood Education. If you choose not to use the free ECE hours a charge of $18.75 per week will apply.
As children move to school this creates a vacancy for the eldest child in the afternoon session, or on the waiting list, to transfer to five morning sessions per week on:
* Monday to Friday from 8.10am to 12.15pm
For morning session this Kindergarten offers parents the opportunity to access 20 hours of free ECE. If you choose not to us free ECE at the kindergarten a charge of $42.50 per week will apply.
We believe working in partnership with family/whanau achieves the best for the children.
We embrace the five strands of Te Whariki (the national early childhood curriculum) using them in our planning and assessment.
* Mana Atua/wellbeing
* Mana Whenua/belonging
* Mana Tangata/contribution
* Mana Reo/communication and
* Mana Aoturoa/exploration
You are welcome to visit to see our programme in action or make enquiries at any time.

Cambridge Middle School is one of only seven Middle Schools in New Zealand. Middle Schooling in Cambridge educates students in Years 7 – 10, the emerging and early adolescent years. It is our belief that these years are crucial years in a child’s life, a time of rapid growth in both their physical and emotional development. Too often students leave the Intermediate System and venture off into our Secondary System ill-equipped to cope with six periods/day with six different teachers giving six different types of homework due for completion on the same day. Not only does our education system put pressure on them, but they also have added peer pressure to cope with.
Middle Schools allow the students to continue their education pathway with homeroom based teaching. All relevant curriculum areas are covered, but with one teacher in charge the students are given the opportunity of further developing their social skills. They have the security of consistency throughout their day and working with someone who has time to work alongside them. The additional two years at our school will not hinder their educational development but it will enhance their prospect of doing better once they reach secondary school. We are able to offer leadership opportunities for our Year 10 students and every chance is given to them to take up challenges which will enhance their employment prospects in later years. Self-esteem is a powerful tool and should never be underestimated. It is our aim to have the students leave us with their heads held high and their self-esteem in tact.
Our school is set amongst beautifully established trees creating a wonderful learning environment. We are well resourced and have a proactive Board of Trustees. We also have an active fundraising committee constantly applying for grants from a variety of sources including Lotteries and Pub Charities.
Cambridge Middle School participates in all Inter-Intermediate/Middle Schools sporting events, is actively involved in the Literacy Quiz (Waikato winners and representatives to National finals), WaiMaths, Science Fairs, BP Technology Challenge and believes in advantages of Education Outside the Classroom.
Over the coming years, we can expect Cambridge Middle School to continue its innovative educational initiatives to meet student needs. Students will be expected to accept the challenge to shape their future and in so doing, live the school motto “Reward in Endeavour”.

Early Intervention Provider / Early Childhood Education Unit
The Principles of Conductive Education:
Conductive Education is a learning process:
Conductive Education approaches physical disabilities from an educational rather than a medical or paramedical perspective. People who have motor disorders have a problem of learning, which requires education as opposed to a medical condition, which requires treatment.
Conductive Education offers a holistic, integrated approach to special education:
Conductive Education provides a holistic approach to educating people with motor disorders. The nature of real-life is that at any one time a wide range of skills are being used and developed. We are never doing just one thing; every task involves many elements but for a motor-disabled person these are often very difficult to organise and co-ordinate. This is why Conductive Education pays attention to all areas of development, all aspects of the personality in an integrated manner. It seeks to teach people to address each area without forgetting the others, and learn to co-ordinate them effectively.
Active participation is the key for development:
In Conductive Education individuals are encouraged to engage in the world around them and actively participate as this is the only way, learning will take place. To achieve active participation, Conductive Education provides the motor disabled person with a wide range of "life-like" but at the same time, achievable activities.
Conductive Education seeks to change the person, not the environment:
Although some adaptation of equipment is used in Conductive Education, the aim is that eventually the motor disordered person will learn ways of accessing their environment rather than the environment needing to be adapted to cater for their needs.
Functional activities provide the tools for learning and teaching:
The activities used and situations created in CE will be the same or very similar to those of able-bodied individuals. It is the conductors duty to select these activities carefully, taking the participants age, developmental level, abilities, needs and personal characteristics into account to ensure that success is achievable. Success and enjoyment in these activities will give participants the desire and motivation to participate even more. Eventually the motor disabled person will be able to determine their own goals and possess the motivation to reach them. This is the stage where learning and development will be maximised and participants will reach their full potential.

James Gray Kindergarten operates under the constitution of the Waikato Kindergarten Association.
The Kindergarten provides a welcoming, caring, safe and stimulating educational learning environment where children and their families/whanau feel included and respected. The Kindergarten has a child-centred, resource-based programme philosophy, and has a variety of equipment and resources to cater for children's interests and needs.
The outdoor area has recently been redeveloped to Health and Safety standards. The sand area, grass playing area and bark safe-fall area have all been enlarged.
A beautiful native garden enhances the children’s outdoor play area and provides wonderful opportunities for nature explorations.
The area in which the Kindergarten is based is stable with many children and subsequent siblings and their families attending and supporting the Kindergarten. When children leave they go on to attend the many town and country schools in the area.
Come into the Kindergarten if you live locally or ring, fax, or e-mail us and we will send you an enrolment form.

We value children and the importance of extending children’s knowledge and experiences through their interests, and believe children learn best through play within a mixed age environment.
Our teachers are committed to providing the best foundation for your children’s lifelong learning.
Our teachers are qualified or training towards a Bachelor of teaching to provide the best possible start for your child/ren.

Affordable In-Home Childcare
The PORSE Programme has been developed to ensure babies and young children can be nurtured one-on-one with a special person responding consistently to their comforts and needs.
In-Home Childcare provides all the right ingredients for positive early brain development. Parents personally choose their own educator.
…in your Family Home
Where your chosen educator manages the daily routines of your children and home – no daily rush, offering nurturing care, education and home management.
You may also wish to consider a ‘family share’ situation, where the services of an educator (and cost) are shared with another family who have children under five.
…or an Educator’s Home
Where your chosen educator welcomes your children into their home – offering a play and learning programme in a small group setting that supports early brain development and growth.
Your chosen educator could actually be a friend or family member already caring for your child in your home or theirs.
The PORSE Programme offers educators free workplace training and professional development.
With 20 Free ECE Hours for 3 & 4 year olds and WINZ Subsidies available, call us today to discuss the best educator for your child on 0800 276 773 or visit our website at www.porse.co.nz

Students get a wide variety of experiences with a four yearly cycle of camps, including the popular city experience in Auckland and Wellington.
This school is a proud Green-Gold EnviroSchool winner because Environmental Education is an important part of our curriculum. As part of this focus, the students have produced a variety of sculptures, winning the Cambridge Autumn Festival competition this year.
