Uplands Kindergarten
At Uplands Kindergarten, the teachers keep up to date with research from New Zealand and around the world. Research from Whitebread in the UK states that children who are emotionally secure, curious, and playful, with well-developed oral language and self-regulation abilities, will be most enabled to develop as powerful learners and emotionally and socially healthy individuals. ECE settings which support these developments are characterized by emotionally warm and supportive social interactions, the provision of developmentally challenging and playful learning opportunities, dialogic and collaborative talk, and support for child-initiated activity and children’s autonomy.

Cycad needs new Home!
We are about to get the outside of our house painted - and have decided this Cycad needs to go. I've started the recommended process for transplanting - trimming a portion of the fronds - but note that the best results require the move to new location to be as fast as possible. Before I start the root bulb work, is anyone local interested? I see they are listed at hundreds of $$ - but happy to discuss. It needs to go.
