York Place Preschool & Nursery

Our updated barked area is looking and feeling great. Providing a safe, cushioned environment for our children to take risks and explore is what it’s all about.

🌱Spending time outdoors supports our pēpi to explore through their senses, building awareness, confidence, and connection with the natural world.🌱

There's something special about sharing a good book with friends. Moments like these build a love of reading, language, and connection.

On a rainy day, the undercover sandpit is a great place to play.

This taste safe paint is a winner for our youngest tamariki. Safe ingredients, zero worries, and maximum fun!

The best way to get into the Christmas spirit is watching a Pantomime.

Thank you to our generous families for the food donations and to Trinity Catholic College for welcoming us. We had a fantastic time.

Something fun for the tamariki to do this weekend!

A special visit with Rachael from the Dunedin Public Art Gallery inspired some creativity amongst the tamariki. Our theme of land and sea took shape with silhouettes of Mount Cargill and the Otago harbour.

One of our favourite recipies for messy play. This gloop is fascinating to explore as when you apply pressure it feels hard, e.g rolling it into a ball, then when you remove pressure, it turns back to liquid.

“Kaiako support mokopuna to engage respectfully with and to have aroha for Papatūānuku. They encourage an understanding of kaitiakitanga and the responsibilities of being a kaitiaki by, for example, caring for rivers, native forest, and birds.” - Te Whāriki Mana Whenua | Belonging
