On the 12th of January 2013 we were visited by the Education Review Office whose role is to ensure we are meeting the standards of the Ministry of Education's Licensing Criteria and Early Childhood Education Regulations (2008)  Here is the link to our report:  Well done team and a big 'Thank you' to parents who were interviewed as part of the process.

“Family Times, New Zealand’s number one parenting publication, can be accessed on line at www.familytimes.co.nz  It is packed with wide ranging and topical editorial for parents and caregivers, national and local events, activities and entertainment, great ideas for the holidays and fun competitions for everyone.”

Over the past year the team has been engaged in an action research around literacy learning in the centre.  On Saturday a representative group headed off to Kamo to present an aspect of our research to other Early Childhood centres and Ministry of Education representatives.  Thank you to Bonnie and Rachael who have led the team through this research.
