Our philosophy

Written By Kim Manunui

Our Guiding Vision:
Nga tamariki nga rangatira mo apopo.
Our children are our leaders of tomorrow.

  • At Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten we offer an unhurried approach to childhood, providing a natural and secure environment that is homely, nurturing and sustainable.

  • At Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten we respect that each stage of a child’s development has unique qualities and that these should be fully experienced before embarking on the next stage of education.

  • At Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten we create an environment that supports our whanau, our community and builds the foundation of who our tamariki will become as adults. We endeavor to provide an environment that supports our future community and the future of our environment.

  • At Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten we value the contribution of parents and whanau, and see their input as an integral part of our curriculum and daily practice.

  • At Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten we value, embrace and honour the bicultural nature of Aotearoa.

  • At Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten our curriculum is inclusive, equitable and culturally appropriate.

  • At Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten we strive to incorporate te reo and te au maori into our daily practice.

  • Waldorf education, developed by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) is based on an understanding of human individuality as a being of body, soul and spirit. Body , soul and spirit in this context means:

o Te Taha Tinana- the active physical and physiological organism
o Te Taha Hinengaro – the thinking ,feeling and willing human soul
o Te Taha Wairua – self/identity (the spiritual core of each human being)

Kim Manunui

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
