MATAVAI SILA'I PRESCHOOL

 Centre Philosophy

 The Tuingapapai Pilosophy

 Our philosophy is based on our name ‘Tuingapapai’, a garland of seven ripened fa, threaded together with fau string.  This necklace is worn to special occasions or katoanga.

 When children come in to the centre, we thread them a ‘papai’ (tui honau papai).  When they leave the centre, they take it with them.  The fragrance is with them, though the fragrance may dry up – the seed of the fa remains.

 The necklace ‘Tuingapapai’ is symbolic life of the child who has received enrichment through learning, and can use the seed to plant; and to become fruitful in life.

 The name ‘Tuingapapai – ‘o – Uesile’ is derived from the missionary John Wesley the founder of the Free Wesleyan Church.  The following seven ‘papai’ are threaded into our curriculum – physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, language and cultural.

 But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33.
