One with the community
These excursions serve as an invaluable opportunity for our tamariki to explore their surroundings, fostering a sense of belonging and connection to their area. These walks not only encourage physical activity but also create a platform for learning about the environment, interacting with the local school, and observing the dynamics of their community firsthand.
Through these outings, BestStart Meadowbank instills a profound sense of familiarity and pride in our tamariki, nurturing a strong bond between our centre and the local community. Our centre also establishes strong ties with the local library by inviting librarians for frequent visits to the centre, enriching our tamariki's experience through the magic of storytelling and book sharing. These engaging sessions not only promote a love for reading but also familiarise our tamariki with the resources available at the library, fostering a lifelong appreciation for learning.
Additionally, the school actively cultivates relationships with the nearby primary school by engaging with their staff and students. This collaboration provides valuable insights into the primary school's environment and practices, ensuring a smoother transition for future students from BestStart Meadowbank.
