Totara Puku Kindergarten is enrolling now!
Kia ora!
As many of our older children have now moved on to school, we are looking for new friends to join us at kindergarten!
We have some spaces available right away or you can hop on our waitlist if you or your tamariki need more time!
A few things you should know:
👉 We take children from age 0 - 6 yrs
👉 We offer 20 hours free ECE to all children who attend, even babies!
👉 All of our teachers are fully qualified ECE teachers
👉 Our teachers will support with the transition to school
👉 We follow a bicultural curriculum
👉 Play based learning is the way to go at Totara Puku Kindergarten!
*If your child goes on to attend Totara Puku Kindergarten, there is no expectation or requirement that they attend Whanganui East School. While the kindergarten is located within the school grounds and we have a great relationship with our school friends, the school and kindergarten operate separately.
Please feel free to pop in and visit us, we'd love to see you!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
