Me mahi tahi tātou mō te oranga o te katoa.
Working in collaboration benefits the collective.

Fire fighters to the rescue!

Our tamariki loved drawing their own fire on our outside chalk board and putting it out using the hose whilst working together with their friends!

Poipoia te kākano kia puāwai.
Nurture the seed and it will blossom.

Our tamariki were learning alot about different processes of print making the other day. We love supporting them to explore different art styles and watching their amazement when they see what they have created.

He iti te mokoroa, nāna i kati te kahikatea.
Although the grub is small, it can fell the mighty kahikatea tree.

We love going on excursions to our local park - the Elephant Park!

The tamariki had a blast going down all the slides, playing on the play ground, and and exploring the local community.

Whaowhia te kete mātauranga
Fill the basket of knowledge

A little magic was brewing in our preschool today! 🧪🌸💧 Our tamariki created their very own potions using colourful water, flowers, bowls and plenty of imagination.

Through this open-ended play, tamariki were encouraged to experiment, mix, pour and observe, while developing their creativity, fine motor skills and confidence in exploring their own ideas. ✨🌈

Ko te kairapu. Ko ia te kite.
He who seeks will find.

Big spaces. Big imaginations. Big adventures.

Our preschool room is a place where tamariki can get stuck in, follow their interests and discover what they’re capable of.

Whether they’re building, creating, investigating, getting active or dreaming up their next big idea, there’s always something happening at Pūmanawa.

Come and see what preschool looks like here. 💜

He kōanga te wā. 🌸🌱
It is the season of spring.

Spring has arrived, and we are loving the lighter days, warmer weather and beautiful signs of new growth all around us! ☀️🌷

Our tamariki have been celebrating the arrival of spring through creative experiences, including colouring beautiful flowers. 🌼🖍️ It’s a lovely opportunity to notice the changes happening in our environment and talk about the flowers, plants and new life we can see emerging around us.

Here’s to more sunshine, outdoor adventures and discovering all that spring has to offer! 🌱💛

Mā te pohewa mā te auaha hoki, ka whakapuaki ngā kura e huna ana.
With imagination and creativity, a hidden jewel can be revealed.

Our nursery has a 1:3 ratio, giving our kaiako beautiful opportunities to really connect with each pēpi throughout their day.

There’s time for cuddles, conversations, exploring, discovering and celebrating all those exciting little milestones.

Because every little person deserves to be known. ❤️
