Celebrating Pink Shirt Day at First Steps Everglade Preschool
At First Steps Everglade Preschool, collaborating with our community, we celebrated Pink Shirt Day, It is crucial to develop our tamariki (children) knowledge and understanding about respecting each others culture and promoting diversity and creating an environments where everyone can feel safe, valued and respected. Our aim is to work collaboratively with organisations in the community and join the movement to make a stand against bullying. We encourage our tamariki to practice kindness in the centre engaged in tuakana teina relationship. This connects well with our centre philosophy of valuing our tamariki as individuals and providing them with a sense of belonging and respect for who they are as well as demonstrating manakitanga (reciprocal care).
