Galaxy Childcare - Mahia

It’s always a pleasure to have our parents and aiga come in to support our learning journey! 💙

Today, Eleitino’s parents shared a beautiful cultural experience with us, demonstrating how to scrape a coconut 🥥 to make fresh coconut cream and how to weave plates and mats from coconut tree leaves.

To finish, we enjoyed delicious coconut and pawpaw served on the woven plates and mats — all made from resources provided by our natural environment. 🌿✨

Fa’afetai tele lava to Eleitino’s family for sharing your knowledge, culture, and time with us!

Today was an exciting day for our tamaiti at Galaxy Childcare! 🌺

We were so blessed to have Maria and Fritz's Dad/Uncle Rudy come in and demonstrate how an umu is prepared and cooked—the real island way of outdoor cooking! 🔥🥥

What an amazing experience for our children to witness this beautiful cultural tradition happening right before their eyes. Learning through hands-on experiences like this helps us celebrate and appreciate the rich cultures within our community.

Fa'afetai tele lava Rudy, for sharing your knowledge, time, and beautiful culture with us all. ❤️

✨ What a special day for our preschoolers! ✨

Today, we were privileged to attend an amazing community event hosted by Falelalaga Cultural and Education Center. It was a wonderful opportunity for our tamaiti to learn, connect, and experience the richness of Samoan culture.

One of the most heartwarming moments was watching the Samoan elderly mothers and nanas (ao sinasina) engage with our tamaiti in traditional weaving, just as it is done in Samoa. The knowledge, patience, and love shared during this experience made it truly unforgettable.

A huge fa'afetai tele lava to Director Penina Ifopo for having us and creating such a meaningful learning experience for our children.

We learned so much, made beautiful memories, and had heaps of fun! 💙🌺

As we lead up to Samoan Language Week, our tamaiti have been exploring the beautiful Samoan resources we have here at Galaxy Childcare. 🌺

From creating floral necklaces (ula/leis) to having meaningful talanoa about Samoan culture, our tamariki have been learning through hands-on experiences and proudly dressing in cultural attire. ❤️💙🤍

We are excited to celebrate, learn, and embrace Samoan language and culture together. We look forward to the exciting week ahead! 🇼🇸✨
