“He aroha whakatō, he aroha puta mai – If kindness is sown, then kindness you shall receive.”

“Nāku te rourou nau te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi – With your basket and my basket, the people will thrive.”

At Treetops, we are committed to providing tamariki with healthy and positive nutritional habits to ensure they have the best possible start in life.
Our new winter menu will ensure the children keep warm this winter with soups, pasta bakes, warm custard, casseroles and baking recipe ideas. Here are two recipes for you to try at home.

At Treetops we believe that it is important for all tamariki to engage in safe, guided and closely supervised risky play opportunities – let us tell you why.

At Treetops Early Learning Centres we recognise the opportunities for learning that happen when we go on excursions outside the licensed premises.

This type of play provides children (and adults) with the opportunity to explore a range of textures and explore their senses.

During a time when movements are restricted children can become frustrated. However, even something as simple as a walk around the neighbourhood can be revealing and interesting.

Child centric or child-led education is one of the most pivotal shifts in recent years toward supporting the growth of a well-rounded and balanced person.

In previous blogs, we’ve talked about different kinds of play, including messy play. Messy play is a wonderful way for children to explore different textures and their senses.
