Get Involved
We welcome and encourage whanau to get involved and be part of kindergarten life. There are many ways you can support your kindergarten and here are some ideas:
- As one of our parent helpers – reading stories, helping with puzzles, pushing swings, playing maths games, baking
- Sharing a special skill with us e.g. playing a musical instrument
- Accompanying us when we go on trips outside the kindergarten
- Helping tidy up at the end of a session
- Providing practical assistance
- Bringing in resources for collage and construction
- Taking the washing home
- Mending equipment
- Helping out with some gardening
- Taking part in working bees on the buildings and grounds
- Organising a fundraising activity
- Joining a Parent Group
Parent Groups
Every kindergarten has a Parent Group that shares in the management of the centre along with the teachers. As well as providing a great opportunity to meet other parents and family members, being involved in a Parent Group can help you develop new skills and lead to a greater understanding of early childhood education. As a member you may get involved in areas such as:
- Discussing the kindergarten programme and experiences provided for the children
- Maintenance of the grounds and buildings
- Organising social events
- Fundraising
- Supporting the teachers
The teachers at your kindergarten will be happy to talk about how you can be involved.
