Caterpillars to Butterflies Early Learning

Check out this check character.

The Kererū was busy snacking on berries while keeping a close eye on everything happening below 👀

The children loved spotting this beautiful native bird in its natural environment.

All aboard 🚂

The children enjoyed playing on the huge train track, filled with bridges, winding corners and lots of exciting stops along the way.

There was plenty of imagination and fun as the trains travelled all around the room 💭✨

Bushwalk to-do list:

🦺 High-vis on
🌳 Check out the ferns, trees and the stream

We’re so lucky to have to have nature just out our back gate.

This way to the moon 🌖 come on guys, let’s go.

The children have been showing a real interest in space, rockets and the moon.

They keenly followed the NASA astronauts progress around the moon, from blast-off to splash-down.

From a pile of plates, to this 👉 (swipe left)

Our little ones were so focus on playing together and working hard, stacking magnetic plates to build their tower taller and taller.

While having fun they were learning about teamwork, problem-solving, magnets, balancing and construction.

Sometimes, a perfect day can be as simple as picking 🌸 flower petals and leaves with your friend.

So much happiness in the playground, from a little the gift from nature 🌸🍃

We count ourselves so lucky to have Kererū on our back door step. They especially love the berries on the pūriri tree next door. 🍒

We celebrated our 5th birthday with a party alongside our kaiako and their tamariki.

We want fulls WAHs mode - including a WAHs cake, WAH's player cutouts, a WAHs mascot bear and celebrated the hard fought with with marshmallows over the fire pit. It was great result all-round.

Up the WAHs and up CTB 💙💚❤️

We like to look after each other here. Offering a helping hand, making friends and giving a cuddle when it’s needed.

We’re more than just drop-offs and pick-ups.

Our pou out the front tells the story. “Te waka eke noa o te taiao mō ngā kōhungahunga.”

We’re all in this together, caring for our environment for the sake of our children.
And it’s not just about caring for our tamariki. For some families, especially those without whānau close by in Auckland, we become part of theirs.

Like they say, it takes a village.
