First Steps Everglade Preschool's Gold Healthy Heart Award!
We have just received our Gold Healthy Heart Award from the NZ Heart Foundation! We are extremely proud of earning a Healthy Heart Award Pā-harakeke (2019).
Our early learning service is helping to create bright, healthy futures for our tamariki. We're supporting our work to improve New Zealand's heart health.
As part of our Haoura (well-being) initiative we are committed to supporting our tamariki (children) towards healthy living, being strong in body, mind and spirit. It is our responsibility to create a positive learning environment where children’s hauora is promoted, due to its impact on their growth, behaviour, learning and overall well-being. We offer suitable, healthy (and age appropriate) food, drink and active movement in the centre. It is essential that our young tamariki develop healthy habits at an early age.
