Matariki – Sharing the harvest

This time of year encourages generosity, community connection, and gratitude for the abundance the earth has provided. It is a moment to share the fruits of one’s labour and give back to those in need.

Risky Play: Building Confidence At Treetops Preschools

Risky play plays a key role in children’s learning and development, providing opportunities for tamariki to challenge themselves and test their abilities. At Treetops preschools, including our Botany childcare centres and Pukekohe childcare centre, we support children’s engagement in age-appropriate risky play in a safe and nurturing environment.

Risky play, such as climbing, balancing, and rough-and-tumble activities, allows children to develop cognitive, emotional, social, and physical skills. It also builds independence and confidence. Guided by the principles of Te Whāriki, our kaiako ensure children can take risks while learning how to keep themselves safe.

Preparing Your Toddler For Their First Day At Daycare

The first day of daycare is sure to be a very memorable experience for both you and your toddler! Many adults can still recall memories of their first day of daycare and what it was like to be separated from their parents for, often, the first time.

The Importance Of Childcare Centres

No child is an island. While your child may have loads of adult company thanks to you, your spouse and your family and friends, it is also very important that your child spends time with children their own age as it is essential to their development.
