So much happens behind the scenes at NBP to support the incredible tamariki and whānau at the heart of our preschool 💛
We’re so proud of the ways we’ve been able to work alongside others to help make life a little easier for our families. None of this would be possible without the support of our wider community and the amazing agencies we partner with — thank you for helping us make a difference together ✨
KidsCan - Clothed in Love - Christchurch - Kairos Food Rescue - Kindness Collective Foundation - Kiwi Family Trust - Whānau Āwhina Plunket
And many others.
We also appreciate our volunteers giving their time to also make this possible!

Help Us Support Our Tamariki
We are passionate about helping our children transition confidently into school. For many of our tamariki, starting school with a new uniform is an important milestone—it builds confidence, pride, and a sense of belonging.
Traditionally, we have been able to provide the basics needed for this new journey. However, like many in our community, we are currently experiencing financial hardship and are finding it increasingly difficult to continue this support.
If you, or someone you know, are able to help, we would truly appreciate your support.
