Adventures at Home
As all of New Zealand went into Lockdown at the end of March, our kaiako put our heads together to come up with a plan to ensure that we were connecting with our children and families and offer as much support as we could, even just as a smiling and familiar face to say hello to.
We have been remote learning with our children by providing daily mat times that we pre-recorded at our centre prior to Lockdown in order to provide as much consistency for the children as possible. We also have been hosting weekly online 'zoom' meetings so that we can connect and chat to our children and they can connect with each other.
We also wanted to ensure our families felt well supported in continuing their child's learning goals at home. Each of our children had a 'adventures at home' plan for them made by their key kaiako. Our kaiako had a lot of fun videoing themselves trying out all sorts of activities and games to share with their children. Our value of our philosophy is to "have fun and laugh together everyday" and we certainly did this!
We can't wait to get back to preschool and see everyone again, but we are so lucky to be able to have the technology to be able to connect together through this time!
