Hi everyone 👋
We opened back up for the term yesterday! On today’s session we welcomed our new facilitator Rebecca who made us some funky blue play dough which some of our tamariki had a blast turning into people! Googley eyes always make for a fun time! Looking forward to welcoming everyone back and if you’re wanting to visit, please do!

Exploring art through a whole new lens ✨️ such a magical experience for this tamaiti. At 2 years old the brain is craving autonomy, so this was a perfect invitation to play that had plenty of choice...choice of colour, choice of pressure when using the bottles, and choice of placement!

Pop along and see what other opportunities there are for your children. 9am - 12pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. 15 Ashridge Road, Napier South.
