😍Brown Owl Kindergarten in Upper Hutt celebrated their regular reliever, Whaea Maryanne, who has relieved on and off over the past year. A familiar face to children and whānau because Whānau Manaaki Relievers are considered an important part of the individual team(s) they support as well as the over-all organisation, and tend to stay with us. 💬Want to know more about our kindergartens or perhaps interested in coming to work for us?

🤩Ohakune Kindergarten has an AMAZING new magnet wall in the sand pit!! Some of the older tamariki spent their afternoon digging a trench for the wall-piece to fit in to, so it was all ready for the installer. Lots of imaginative, scientific and team-based play will happen here. For more information about the Whānau Manaaki Kindergartens team, head to 💬https://www.wmkindergartens.org.nz.

🥦🍅🥝At Owhiro Bay Kindergarten in Wellington, the tamariki have harvested some of the vegetables they planted earlier in the year. Gardening is a great hands-on experience that offers so many fun and interesting learning opportunities for children. The children love eating fresh picked vegetables from the garden and they get a real sense of achievement seeing the plant they have grown ready to eat. Just one of the many learning opportunities offered at Whānau Manaaki Kindergartens. 💬To learn more, go to https://www.wmkindergartens.org.nz.
