Oasis for preschoolers - Pukekohe

Cecily from Pukekohe

Would you like to meet with other carers of preschoolers?
Maybe we at Pukekohe Community Action can help you -- or maybe you can help us.
Our Oasis family support group, offering music and play for preschoolers and their carers, is a great programme to follow on from our “Space for you and your baby” programme.

Oasis runs on Monday and Friday mornings from 9.30am until 11am.

One parent writes:

“We love the interaction both with parents, staff and children at Oasis. The variety of activities work well for my eldest child and the youngest. There is something for everyone to enjoy. I’ve found it a safe, supportive environment on my low days which was so important when I was suffering from post-natal depression. It was a perfect follow-on from Space.”

The support, activities, educational opportunities and the affordability compared with other activities during the week make it very supportive especially for the new parent.

Of course Pukekohe Community Action (PCA) cannot run these programmes without a good team of volunteers. If you have a couple of spare hours in your week and would like to join a team of people who like to support others we would love to hear from you and have you as part of our PCA team which has more than 30 people already assisting with programmes as volunteers.

Last year alone PCA had more than 450 people directly participating in programmes.

Full training will be provided.

If you would like to know more about these programmes, either to be a participant or to help facilitate, please email pukekohecommunityaction@xtra.co.nz or phone or text Jan on 0274521366.
