A special story time at Uplands

Last week we welcomed some special visitors from Remuera Library who came to Uplands to read with our tamariki.

As part of both our Uplands Book Club and Little Neighbours initiatives, it was a wonderful way to share our love of reading while strengthening our connection with the local community.

Thank you Remuera Library for coming to visit us! We loved having you here.

Winter Wonderland Wheels Day

Last week, Wheels Day brought plenty of excitement to Uplands, with our children bringing their scooters and bikes along for a day of fun and movement.

With the kindy decorated as a magical winter wonderland, our tamariki had a wonderful time riding, exploring winter science experiments and enjoying the day with their friends. Of course, our teachers were on hand to keep an eye on the traffic... and a few speeding tickets may have been handed out along the way!

We're lowering our fees at Uplands!

At a time when the cost of living is putting pressure on so many families, we wanted to do something to help.

While many prices are going up, we're lowering our kindergarten fees to make quality early learning more affordable for local families.

Uplands has been part of the Remuera community for more than 55 years, and we're incredibly proud of the families, friendships and connections we've built along the way.

Supporting our community has always been part of who we are. This is one small way we can continue to do our bit.

Limited spaces available. Get in touch or pop in for a visit!

Last night, we welcomed speech and language therapist Ami-Lee from Wild About Words, and nutritionist Kate Wilkie to Uplands for an evening of expert insights for parents and our wider community.

From preschool speech and language development, screens and communication, to fussy eating and practical nutrition tips, our speakers shared plenty of valuable advice and strategies to support children through the preschool years.

A big thank you to Ami-Lee and Kate for sharing their expertise with us, and to everyone who joined us for a wonderful evening of learning!

Uplands Book Club | August

This month, our Book Club is all about helping children recognise, understand and talk about their emotions.

When I'm Feeling Sad by Trace Moroney
A gentle story that helps children understand sadness and discover healthy ways to cope with difficult emotions.

Not-a-Box City by Antoinette Portis
This book teaches children about learning to share and how working with friends makes an experience much better than trying to do everything alone.

The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas
A much-loved story that introduces different emotions through colours, helping children identify and talk about their feelings in a simple, engaging way.

Through stories, our tamariki are learning that all feelings are valid, building empathy for others, and developing the language and confidence to express how they're feeling. It's all part of our way to support our children's emotional wellbeing and helping them navigate the world around them.

Happy reading!
