Nature Kids

Nature Kids Nature Kids is an ECE in Motueka for 2 to 6 year olds with a foundation philosophy “let nature be your teacher” www.naturekids.co.nz

Taking ideas from nature kindergartens in Europe where children learn through nature and build strong connections with the natural world, as much time as possible is spent outside. Nature Kids, set on 1.5 hectares, has a country environment which is close to town with a friendly, welcoming, nuturing homelike atmosphere and extensive outdoor facilities utilising what nature has provided. We want Na

ture's Kids.....

“to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.”

What a lovely pizza evening!
ngā mihi nui to everyone who contributed, It was such a great night we forgot to hand out the elderflower cordial!

We are blown away by the amazing job Nathan has done on our bike park!
Words can't express how grateful we are to C J industries for making it happen. They have not only created an epic bike park but also a space for our Whānau to develop a sense of connection and community. We are excited to continue developing the space with native plantings, fruit trees, picnic tables and some gates at the entry to make it a safer space.

After watching many a parachute fall from the sky at Nature Kids this week we got to go down to the drop zone and watch Shelley skydive!
All made possible by Damien and Heidi!
A big thank you to all involved, what a great experience for our Tamariki to be part of!

Ngā mihi mahana C.J industries and Rupert, Nathan, Vaughn and Glen.
Thanks for bringing in some of your big toys for our Tamariki to check out today!
We have been watching all the action from behind our fence for a few weeks as a new footpath is being installed.
Have you noticed all the dirt piling up next to the car park as well?
Watch this space for an exciting project that C.J industries will be working on for us in the coming weeks.

We made the most of a warm and sunny start to term 3 with lots of time spent outdoors and have been busy welcoming lots of new tamariki and their whānau.
The obstacle course was particulary popular offering some new and ever changing physical challenges for all!

The chicks have moved to their outdoor enclosure and have spent the last few nights there, they have grown lots of new feathers and have loads of straw to cosy up in. They are loving fresh silverbeet from the garden each day and are still getting snuggles but they definitely miss all the love and attention they are used to from ngā tamariki.
1 week to go Whānau!
