Nature Kindy
A new Nature Kindergarten will be starting up at Totara Park Manurewa in February. These Nature Programmes run under the Play and Learn umbrella.
Small groups of 10 tamariki are outside the whole day in almost every weather condition. From 9:00an -3:00pm. Drop off is at Base camp site. Led by specialist teachers with a 1:5 ratio. For children from 3 to 6 years.
We are having a open day on the 5th February 2025.

"Natural places are singularly engaging, stimulating, life-enhancing environments where tamariki can reach new depths of understanding about themselves, their abilities and their relationship with the world around them…” Tim Gill.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
