At BestStart Napier Central we provide the 16 Areas of Play within our learning environment.  We captured this lovely moment of one of our tamariki exploring with the blocks, carefully stacking the blocks on top of each other against the wall. 

When the tower started to get high he persisted even though it was difficult, he had to go on his tip toes, so he was able to continue to build his tower. The older tamariki supported him as they continued to place the blocks on top of each other. They were very proud of their tower they had created together. 

At BestStart Napier Central we value tuakana–teina relationships. It was such a beautiful interaction to see the tamariki working together and supporting one another throughout their learning.
