✨ TERM 3 WRAP! ✨

And just like that… Term 3 is DONE! 🥳💛

What a wonderful term it has been at The Buddy Zone. We’ve had so many laughs, learning moments, new friendships, big feelings, brave moments and plenty of fun along the way! 🌈

A huge thank you to all of our amazing children, young people, whānau and schools for making Term 3 so special. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of so many little (and not-so-little!) journeys. 🫶

Now it’s time for our team to take a one-week reset — a little rest, recharge and time to catch our breath before we’re back into it!

We’ll be back before you know it, ready for another term of learning, growing, connecting and, of course… plenty of Buddy Zone fun! 🐾💛

See you in Term 4! 👋✨

✨ Re-introducing ourselves at The Buddy Zone! ✨

If you’re new around here, we thought it was a good chance to introduce the faces (and paws!) behind The Buddy Zone. 🐾💛

Dawn & Georgia! Mum and Daughter Duo!
The hearts behind The Buddy Zone. Together, we’ve created a space where neurodivergent children and young people can feel understood, supported and, most importantly, like they belong.

And then there’s our very important third member…

🐾 Louie - Our Therapy Dog
Border Collie, professional cuddler, emotional support specialist and firm believer that every session is better with a dog nearby. Will work over time but only for snacks.

What started as a small vision many years ago, has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of. The Buddy Zone is now a wonderful team of 10, all bringing their own strengths, personalities and passions to the work we do. 20 years in the making!

From supporting children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation, sensory differences, PD presentations and so much more, our team works alongside children, families and schools to help make life feel a little easier - while celebrating the things that make every child uniquely them!

We’re so grateful to every family who has trusted us, every school we get to work alongside, and every child who walks through our doors and lets us be part of their journey. 💛

So, whether you’ve been following us for years or you’ve just discovered The Buddy Zone, welcome! We’re so glad you’re here. 🫶

Dawn, Georgia & Louie 🐾
