I hope you are all well and looking after yourselves and your whanau in this new COVID 19 limited life?

This update is just to let the community know our center is re-opening. tomorrow 29th April 2020 to support our current whanau who are returning to work under Alert 3.

We have had quite a few enquiries from families contacting us wondering if we are taking enrollments currently - We definitely ARE - but we sadly are not be able to settle and start new children until we reach a lower Alert Level under COVID 19.

Don't let this stop you!
feel free to check out our facebook page or website, or contact us via the neighbourly messages) and we can forward you some information about our center and keep in contact about starting your tamariki journey with us at Greta Point AE!

It was a great day to be back in beautiful Greta Point - and felt good to be back at work, fingers crossed we can open fully again very soon.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
