Fulfil adult to child ratios
The booking teacher/centre representative agrees to bring enough adults to fulfil their own centre’s adult to child ratio policy and safely supervise their tamariki during the visit according to our Safety Management Plan requirement, with at least one registered teacher accompanying each group. We suggest a ratio of 1 adult for every 4 tamariki.
Supervise tamariki and participate
Kaiako and parents/helpers should remain with the group throughout the entire visit to ensure tamariki are supervised. Each group is assigned only one Learning Specialist, so accompanying adults should be aware that they may need to play an active role in the visit, this will make for a richer, more fulfilling experience for all.
Let us know if you are running late
Late arrival may result in a reduced programme. We advise all groups to arrive and wait just inside the main entry doors from Victoria St of Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui. Please allow time to find parking or walk from your bus drop-off. If you are running late, please contact Nōku te Ao Capital E on 04 913 3742 first, or 04 913 3740.
Serious or unsafe behaviour
On rare occasions of serious or unsafe behaviour, a kaiako or parent/helper may be asked to take tamariki outside the play space, alternatively there is a low sensory room on the ground floor, just ask the library team at the Pae Manaaki | Manaaki Desk to open it for you.
