Home Based Childcare Spaces
Hi everyone. I'm a homebased childcare educator for Kia Ora Kids at Home Childcare. I have a couple of spaces available for any under 5 year olds. I have been a care educator for 9 years and live in Sunnynook and regularly attend playgroups, go to mainly music, the library, parks, playgrounds, beaches and have lots of indoor and outdoor toys available. I won't venture outside of home for the time beeing until the covid-19 has settled. The smaller groups of children in home based care spread less bugs around. I love to do arts and crafts and science experiments with the kids. Kia Ora Kids offers subsidies to families that meet the WINZ criteria and 20h COMPLETELY free for 3 & 4 year olds. Hourly rate is $6.50. if you are interested send me a message or call me on 0211553751. Grab the space before it is gone!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
