 We are very happy that we will remain closed in Level 3 to keep our children, families and staff safe but If your circumstances change please contact us. The Early Childhood Council is fighting for all Childcare Centres to stay closed under Level 3. It is impossible to safely open and keep a 3-metre distance from each other. Three babies over the weekend contacted C-19 in NZ and there are 34 cases of children under the age of 9 with C-19.

Morena tamariki and whanau, Firstly, Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you all had a beautiful day, got lot’s of kisses, heaps of hugs and a delicious dinner. Today I have a science experiment for you (it is one of my favourites!). We are dying flowers and plants!

Or once ..read more
