Little Legends Pukete OSCAR Weekly Programmes are designed to enable children to have a good time playing before going to school. Children who have been at school all day will be welcomed into a family-type structured programme. The programmes are designed to give a variety of activities and choices.
Our programmes are designed to ensure a balance between free-flow play, structured games, quiet time, homework support and responsibility for self and group harmony.
PHILOSOPHY
Little Legends Pukete OSCAR Programmes believe that:
● Parents/Whānau give us their trust to care for their children with respect and dignity. We endeavour to uphold that trust.
● We believe children respond and learn when they have a chance to interact with and
learn from adults who understand their developmental stages and mediate between their
peers and the environment.
● Your family values and cultures are unique and will be supported.
AIMS
Little Legends Pukete OSCAR will endeavour to:
● Employ staff who have a good knowledge and or expertise of this age group and needs.
● Provide a well resourced environment and teach children respect so that there can be
harmony sharing and turn taking in the group.
● Develop strong partnerships with parents through regular feedback.
● Provide clear limits and boundaries based on the virtues of tolerance, compassion,
empathy and personal responsibility.
● Research, provide, and evaluate programmes that meet their developmental needs and
interests.

THE PROGRAMME
Little Legends Pukete OSCAR Programme is an OSCAR-approved and registered programme. OSCAR is the government-appointed accrediting agency for out-of-school networks in New Zealand. To be OSCAR approved means we have defined and approved policies and procedures, which include such things as child safety and staff appointments.
Our staff are trained and skilled workers with children. They are generally energetic and youthful, and provide fun, safe and skilled supervision for children. We understand that our programmes are only ever as good as the staff appointed to run them—we aim to have the right staff for the role. We OSCAR Little Legends Pukete, June 2025, work to a 1-10 ratio for staff to children and have at least 2 staff members on site at all times.
