Supporting Charities at Treetops: Building a Culture of Kindness
At Treetops Early Learning Centres, giving back to the community is a cornerstone of our philosophy. Throughout the year, we proudly support meaningful charity events, including Daffodil Day, Jammies in June, and Pink Shirt Day, at our daycare centres in Pukekohe and Botany. These events not only raise funds for vital causes but also teach our tamariki (children) the values of empathy, kindness, and community involvement.
The Charities We Support
1. Daffodil Day
Daffodil Day, organised by the Cancer Society, raises awareness and funds for cancer research and patient support. At Treetops, our tamariki engage in daffodil-themed art activities and gold coin donations to help make a difference. By supporting Daffodil Day, our children learn the importance of giving back and standing with those in need.
2. Jammies in June
Jammies in June is a heartwarming initiative focused on collecting warm pyjamas for children in need during winter. Our daycare Pukekohe and daycare Botany centres work together with our parents to collect new pyjamas to support this worthy cause to keep children warm and cared for during the colder months.
3. Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day is a global movement to promote kindness and end bullying. At Treetops, we celebrate this day with creative pink-themed activities, discussions about inclusion, and opportunities to reflect on how we can show aroha (love) and respect to others. Our tamariki participate by wearing pink and learning to stand up for themselves and their peers.
Why Supporting Charities Matters in Daycare centres througout Auckland
Supporting charities like Daffodil Day, Jammies in June, and Pink Shirt Day provides valuable opportunities for children to grow into socially conscious individuals. Here’s why we believe this is important:
1. Encouraging Empathy and Kindness
Charity events help children understand the value of helping others. Whether it’s learning about cancer support through Daffodil Day or standing up against bullying on Pink Shirt Day, tamariki develop their natural sense of empathy and care for others.
2. Strengthening Community Connections
Charity events like Jammies in June bring children, families, and the community closer together. By participating, our tamariki feel connected to the wider world and understand that small actions can lead to big changes.
3. Learning Through Fun Activities
From art projects to themed days, charity events are educational and engaging. At Treetops, tamariki learn about important issues while having fun, whether they’re creating daffodil crafts or donating pyjamas for those in need.
4. Role-Modelling Generosity
Children learn by example, and when they see adults supporting causes like Jammies in June or Pink Shirt Day, they understand the value of generosity and kindness. These experiences create lasting habits of giving back.
