We are on the countdown to year end now and in the midst of our fun celebratory week.

The tamariki are enjoying dress up and bike days, parties and baking yet to come, a very busy week here at Swannanoa!

Our new build:

Every day brings us a little closer to moving into our amazing new space, the painters have been through, the kitchen is in, the floor coverings are being laid this week, and the staff are very excited!!

Our amazing Committee:

I would like to say a massive thank you to our committee members - Kristy, Kate, Jo, Amanda and Jane. 

Thank you for your support and commitment to our amazing Preschool. We are lucky to have a great group of ladies who give up their time and lend their expertise.

We are sad to be saying farewell to Kate at the beginning of next year as Ollie heads off to school. Kate has been a fabulous member of our committee, very generous with her time and always enthusiastic!! All the best Kate and we know we will stay in touch :)

With Kates departure we are looking for a new Committee Member, please feel free to drop in and have a chat to Jo or Kristy (our Chairperson) as to what is involved.

Our amazing Team:

A huge shout out to our amazing team of staff here at Swannanoa, we have a total staff of 40!! Everyone works really hard to make Swannanoa the very special place it is. How special? Many of our staff have been here with us in excess of 10 years and one very special teacher has been with us since the day we opened!!

What else makes us extremely special??

Our tamariki and their whānau :) Without all of you we simply wouldn't be here! You all contribute to making our Preschool and community what it is. We all thank you for all the support you show throughout the year - most especially in 2020, a year like no other.

I hope you all have a lovely break over the holiday period and get to spend some quality time doing whatever it is you choose to do.
