We have been really busy here at Preschool, as always!!

As I move throughout the centre I feel very proud of what we offer here at Swannanoa, we offer so many rich experiences for all of our  tamariki.

This past month we have had a variety of visitors into the centre, we have celebrated ANZAC day, we have sung, we have danced, we have had students from Swannanoa School visit us, we have harvested kai from our gardens, we have drawn, we have created, we have built..... so many different things!

We really appreciate whanau feedback whether it is to do specifically with your childs learning or our programme in general. 

 Is there anything else you would like to see happening within or be a part of?

I am pleased to announce that Rebecca will continue with the Team Leader role in Atawhai for Term 2, we will be looking to appoint a permanent TL later in the year. Thank you for the great job you are doing Rebecca.

Also, Dani will continue in the Team Leader role in Whakanui and Puawai until September when she will go on maternity leave!! Yes massive congratulations Dani and James, we can't wait to meet bubs.
