NatureFocus
At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education we are passionate about supporting children to connect with nature and Papatuanuku.
At our weekly NatureFocus the environments offer a variety of possibilities for exploring, planning, reasoning & learning as the children are able to study, discover, investigate and search. Developing a sense of belonging in their community and an attachment with nature.
At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education the children’s relationship to Papatūānuku is based on whakapapa, respect and aroha.

This was shown to be true today, celebrating World Story Day at Playschool. The imagination of our children is limitless and when we have wonderful storytellers like Kelly from the Nelson Museum visiting, it is fodder for the most wonderful imaginings to take flight.
Children shared favorite stories and acted them out. We had Mrs Wishy Washy and some very troublesome animals that kept playing in the mud, A digger that kept getting stuck and even Wonder Woman made an appearance. How lucky are we as teachers to re-experience the wonder of these stories, through the eyes of our children - truly learning from each other.
Our children are so blessed to have free movement in so many different ways, through exploring nature, uncrowded settings and through more structured settings such as mat time and gym.
"If we give children enough space and possibilities for movement, they will move nimbly, simply, confidently and naturally." Emmi Pikler
