Nau mai, haere mai,

Jo Dobson —

Spring has sprung!

And currently it is very spring like...warm, cold, wet, sunny, windy.... however with all of that comes blossom, daffodils, lambs and baby goats (which we are lucky enough to visit!!)

It is great to have everyone settled back in at preschool, thank you again for working with us as we observe our Level 2 protocols. 

**********

As always, we continue with some exciting developments here at Preschool.

Currently we are patiently waiting for our new grass to grow in Atawhai and the old Puawai space.

We are also nearing the completion of our new bike track in Puawai and Whakanui - our tamariki can't wait to get on it!!

As you may know we held a Quiz night last term and what a great night it was!

We raised $1,609 (amazing!!) which we are going to put towards some new bikes throughout the centre to the benefit of all :)

Thanks to everyone for your support of our fundraising initiatives.

**********

Discover - our new Student Management System, thank you all for your patience while we get up and running with this new system - no major hiccups....yet!!

Huge THANK YOU to Lorraine for her massive mahi with this, certainly couldn't do this without her!

You may have noticed the last couple of emails have been individually addressed to you - this is a new feature within our ability to 'bulk communicate' so you will see this more often.

Suggestions

If you have any suggestions or ideas for us here at Preschool we would love to hear them, we are a community based, not-for-profit Preschool - everything we do is for our tamariki, whānau, staff and community!

Facebook:

Do you follow us on Facebook? A great place to keep an eye on updates and visitors. You will also be seeing regular posts of the amazing learning that happens here at Preschool.

**********

We currently have VERY limited spaces available.  If you are thinking you would like extra days please let me know so I can plan accordingly, spaces for Atawhai and Manaaki will be available in the New Year.

We do currently have spaces in Whakanui for our Under 1's.

In Whakanui we have a teacher for every 2 children in the most beautiful environment.

Feel free to pop in and have a chat :)

I am in the office Monday to Thursday, you are welcome to drop in and see me at anytime.

Nga mihi nui
