Annual Report 2016 Vision and Values Vision

Evolve Education's vision is to be a leading provider of early childhood education in New Zealand. Our vision is rooted

in the firm conviction (and irrefutable evidence) that early childhood learning has a profound impact on a child's future health, development and wellbeing. We are committed to delivering the best possible outcomes for Kiwi children and their families.

As professional early childhood educators, we strive to act with integrity in all situations. We seek to model the highest moral and ethical standards to the children, treating them with kindness and fairness always. We understand the need to protect their dignity and to develop their self-esteem, talents and skills because they represent the future of our nation and world. As we observe them growing in skills and comment positively on their achievements, we motivate them to do the best they can. The work proudly displayed on the walls and in their portfolios is proof of this.

Our holistic approach sets us apart from our competitors because we understand the value of integrating existing operators into our business model. Through further consolidation and continuity of the provision of childcare services, we are well-placed to meet the diverse needs of thousands of families here in New Zealand.

Values

Leadership

We support effective and professional leadership, and mentor our educators to be engaged, involved and empowered. We encourage staff development so that our educators can achieve their highest professional and personal potential.

Respect

We protect the rights of all children, and act with professional integrity towards them. We strive to foster a culture that is based on respect, not only for the children and their teachers but also for the childcare sector as a whole.

Equality

We strive to ensure that all children and their parents have equal access to our services. We act fairly towards every child and value his or her uniqueness.

Communication

This Annual Report is signed for and on behalf of the Board of the Company by:

We believe it is important to communicate regularly and effectively with the families of our children. It

is also the key to our operational success, both strategically and personally.
