Our recent centre trip to Butterfly Creek was an unforgettable experience for tamariki, whānau, and kaiako alike. With children aged from 6 months to 5 years, it was a true whole-centre adventure, made even more special by the many parents who joined us for the day.
From the moment we arrived, the excitement was clear. Tamariki were captivated by the vibrant butterflies fluttering around them, creating moments of pure wonder, especially for our youngest children experiencing it all for the first time.
The reptile house, farm animals, and mythical creatures in Dinosaur Kingdom added even more magic, giving everyone something new to discover at every turn. Parents and kaiako loved watching children’s faces light up as they explored each area, asked questions, and shared their discoveries with friends and family.
We finished the day with a relaxed lunch together, giving everyone time to unwind and reflect on their favourite moments. A huge thank you to the parents who accompanied us and helped make the trip such a success. We are already looking forward to our next big centre adventure.
