He Wā Whakahirahira: Celebrating Matariki at Kimihia

As Matariki approached this year, our journey at Kimihia became one of deep collaboration, reflection, and celebration.

Sensory Play in ECE

Squish, squelch, spin, splash, squeeze, scoop, shake, drop, smear, toss, spray, and ooze – young children find immense joy in discovering their world through their senses.

Why ECE Centres Need to be Audit-Ready

Currently I am observing what seems to be an increasing focus on funding audits by the Ministry of Education. Even small errors, like a missing parent signature or a tick box, can result in funding being claimed back, which is why having good systems in place makes such a big difference.

Drains for Rains

In 2024, as part of our enviro vision to be a more sustainable centre and to teach our tamariki to be lifelong kaitiaki (guardians of our environment), Ko te Aroha Children’s Centre in Masterton began a “Drains for Rains” project – and what a fantastic project it was and continues to be!
