Busy Bees Māpua

Every superhero needs a secret headquarters... and sometimes it looks a lot like a cosy reading corner! 🦸‍♂️📖🔍

One swing, three friends ❤️

Building early literacy skills one letter at a time! 🔤

Threading letters onto string supports letter recognition, fine motor development, and hand-eye coordination through playful learning.

Exploring gravity and force! 🌟 Jumping on a plank to launch an object into the air, discovering cause and effect through hands-on play and experimentation.

Reading together creates opportunities for conversation, connection, and collaboration as tamariki share their ideas and interpretations of the story. 📚✨

Clay today, masterpieces tomorrow! 🎨✨ Our tamariki explored, experimented, and got their hands delightfully messy while bringing their ideas to life.

Fejioa season is in full swing and our trees are providing 🍃

Who’s that in the mirror? 😄
Just a handsome little explorer checking himself out and loving what he sees 🤍

One slide, three friends, endless fun 💛

Our graduation rituals are always a special time 🎓 A moment to celebrate growth, friendships and the beautiful journey each tamaiti and whānau have shared with us.

While we are always sad to say goodbye, we know these strong connections last well beyond their time at our centre 🤍
