Learning Adventures Ashhurst

🌟 Wow! What an incredible result! 🌟

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing centre community, we collected 30 pairs of pyjamas for The PJ Project! 💜🧸

Across New Zealand, our Evolve Education Group whānau raised over $2,000 and collected an incredible 1,122 pairs of PJs to help keep tamariki warm this winter.

I will be taking our donations to the warehouse in Feilding, where they will be placed in the collection bin and then delivered to the Kindness Collective in Auckland, ready to reach children and families who need them most.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, dressed up for Pyjama Day, and got behind this important cause. Your kindness will make a real difference.

Projects like this are also wonderful learning opportunities for our tamariki. Through participating, children learn about kindness, empathy, generosity, and helping others in our community.

We are so proud of our centre community and our tamariki for showing what it means to care for others. 💜✨

⛅️✨Don’t forget to wear your PJ’s today friends! 🩷 and if you have a favourite teddy bring them along too for a fun filled day at Learning Adventures Ashhurst 🧸

Drive Update! ✨

Wow, what an incredible effort from our amazing community! 💙

We have now collected 28 sets of pyjamas and have set ourselves a new goal of 30! That means we're only 2 sets away from reaching our target. 🎉

Tomorrow is Pyjama Day, so come along dressed in your favourite PJs and help us celebrate the kindness and generosity shown by our centre whānau. Our donation box will be waiting for any last-minute pyjama donations.

We are so proud of the way our community has come together to support children and families in need. Every donation helps bring warmth, comfort, and a smile to a child this winter. Thank you for helping us make a difference. ❤️

Can we reach 30? We think we can! 🌟 :::

🌙💙 Kindness Collective Pyjama Drive Update 💙🌙

We are incredibly proud of our centre community! Together, we have collected 14 pairs of pyjamas so far for the Kindness Collective Pyjama Drive — just 1 pair away from reaching our goal of 15! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and supported this wonderful cause. Your generosity will help keep tamariki warm this winter. ❄️

To help finish our drive, we will be holding a Pyjama Dress-Up Day on Friday 12 June. Come along in your favourite pyjamas and help us celebrate kindness in action!

We are still gratefully accepting donations of new pyjamas. Every donation makes a difference, and together we can help ensure more children stay warm this winter.

One more pair to reach our goal — can we do it? 🛏️✨

Rainbow magic! 🌈

The tamariki loved spotting a rainbow across the sky. Moments like these spark curiosity, conversations, wonder, and learning through nature. ✨☁️💙

A big thank you to the wonderful Ashhurst Crafting Community for these beautiful knitted and crocheted creations. ❤️❄️

Made with love and kindness, these warm winter items are FREE for anyone in the community who may need them. They are just located down our main hallway. We are so grateful for the care and generosity shown to help keep our community warm this winter.

💙✨ We are so proud to share that our centre is now an official drop-off point for pyjamas for The Kindness Collective ✨💙

As an early childhood community, we know how important warmth, comfort, belonging, and care are for every child. A simple pair of pyjamas can help a child feel safe, cozy, and ready for restful sleep during the colder months. 🧸❄️

Through this kaupapa, our tamariki are learning about kindness, empathy, manaakitanga, and what it means to support others in our wider community.

If you would like to support this amazing cause, we would love for you to bring along a new pair of children’s pyjamas to our centre donation box over the coming weeks. Or you can donate here:
