Recently children from Kindercare Woolston visited a nearby farm. They learnt about atawhai where kaiako encouraged them in showing care towards the animals they encountered. There were lots of opportunities for cuddles and feeding, along with special moments of tamariki exploring and learning alongside their friends. #childcare #childcareadventures #earlychildhood #earlychildhooddevelopment #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #kindercare_nz #farms #outdoorlearning #farmkids #farmlife #countryside 
...a hop, skip and a jump away to learning about shapes and numbers! Recently, we captured these moments of tamariki in Kindercare Remuera having fun with maths as part of their early literacy and numeracy program.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #childcare #childcareadventures #earlychildhood #earlychildhooddevelopment #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #kindercare_nz #learninganddevelopment #learningandgrowing #learningmadefun⠀ #learningthroughplay #preschool #preschoolactivities #literacy #numeracy 
The great outdoors offers a feast for the senses and the soul. Children love to be outside— engaged in exploring, and deep in discovery. Everything is worth noticing; no detail too small, no finding too ordinary. We often think we need to offer big, grand and planned discoveries, but freedom in a natural setting shows us otherwise. Even with simple nature as the backdrop, children find and create magic!

Did you know that our Christchurch CBD centre is built on what used to be Mahinga kai? Historically part of this land was used as a place to gather natural resources. Mahinga kai relates to the traditional value of producing, sourcing and protecting food resources. Inspired by the children's interest this month, Kindercare Christchurch CBD is learning about whenua and using mahinga kai to plant and grow carrots in the garden. The children are learning to nurture, work together, harvest and enjoy the carrots whilst celebrating our bicultural roots. Working alongside tamariki to bring this historical concept into the present. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #kindercare_nz#ece #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #childcare #childcareprovider #planting #farming #nutrition⠀ ⠀ ⠀
