Nurture and Bloom Te Rapa

👑 Welcome to our Royal tea party 👑

Playball is an external sports programme that visits every Wednesday and Friday morning for some of our Sprouts and Preschool children.

At Playball, children take part in fun, age-appropriate sessions designed to build confidence, coordination, and fundamental sporting skills. The programme follows a beginner-friendly progression, with each stage preparing children for the next in a playful, structured, and supportive environment.

Our tamariki look forward to Playball every week and are always excited to join in the fun and engaging sessions!

As part of our weekly 3 and 4 year-old excursion, some of our little ballerinas head upstairs for their ballet lessons with Dance Company. It’s a delightful introduction to the world of ballet- offering a fun, engaging and age appropriate learning opportunity for children.

Happy “Love Thy Neighbour Day” 💛

Today we are celebrating kindness, friendship, and caring for one another - all while wearing bright colours to spread joy and positivity throughout our day!

A peek through our “Little Cornerstone” 🩷

Little Cornerstone (Before School Programme), is designed to ensure that our 4.5yr old Preschool children receive the best possible preparation for school in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and effective.

Our children are showing wonderful confidence and a strong willingness to explore and grow their early literacy/numeracy skills.

Through engaging games and hands-on experiences, they are developing recognizing phonics and letters, early numeracy skills, practicing cutting and fine motor skills, and strengthening their listening and ability to follow instructions. There is so much meaningful learning happening!

The children enjoy being part of a small group. They are learning to take ownership of their learning, sharing ideas, encouraging one another, and celebrating their progress together. We are so proud of their growing independence and positive attitudes.

🤩 What an exciting journey we are on together!
