To mark the beginning of Matariki this year, we at BestStart Meadowbank decided to develop a Friendship (Aroha) Garden with the children and whānau in our front yard. In addition to their kind donation of plants and ornaments, some of our parents joined our ceremony followed by a yummy kai. The experience not only enhanced the children’s sense of belonging at the centre, it also helped them make further connection to the mother nature and our own tikanga in the local community.
