Whānau gathered together for a relaxed meal, waiata (lovely voices!), stories, and a Matariki karakia. The children's artwork and Hiwa-i-te-Rangi wishing tree was displayed to acknowledge their creativity, learning, and aspirations. We enjoyed a lantern hīkoi (walk), stargazing, discovering magical moonstone rocks, and following a pathway of little glowing lanterns. We ended the evening with waiata and shortbread star biscuits. Ngā mihi to all the whānau who joined us and made the evening so special and memorable! ✨🩵✨❤️
Through crafting stars for our wishing tree (Hiwa-i-te-rangi), the children learned about setting aspirations. Creating lanterns taught them about te ao mārama (the world of light).
Our Playschool has been filled with beautiful voices too as the children have been enthusiastically practicing "Tīrama Tīrama" alongside our special Ngā Atua Māori waiata. They love singing about Tāne Mahuta, Tāwhirimātea (the wind), and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother), bringing the story of our environment to life 🌱
We love sharing in this special time of reflection, music, and togetherness. 🤎

Then we have just the lady for you! <3 <3 <3
Gis is our very popular and highly experienced/qualified nanny and she will have some part time availability to work with a new family from the end of July.
Have you been thinking about reducing the hustle and bustle of getting ready, through the breakfast and teeth brushing, lunches made and out the door on time? Wouldn't it be fab to have a nanny to walk on in, in the morning and do that for you?
Have you been thinking gosh it would be nice to finish work and get home to the laundry folded and a meal prepped? Then Gis is your new nanny awaiting!
There are so many benefits to having a nanny care for your child and we would love to chat with you about them all.
