Plunket Week Appeal
From Monday the 16th to Friday the 20th March Best Start as a company held our annual Plunket Appeal week to raise money for Plunket who provide free support services for the development, health and wellbeing of children under five in New Zealand.
We always have a lot of response when we allow our tamariki to bring a toy from home so for one of our appeal days we had a teddy bear picnic where all of our tamariki could bring in a soft toy from home with a gold coin donation.
You should have seen how excited our children were to be able to bring a toy from home and the amount of conversations they had introducing their special toy to each other was fantastic. It allowed our tamariki to share something that was special to them to children that they may not necessarily play with regularly. It also helped our quiet children to have the confidence to korero about their special toy. They also had fun and were able to share their toys with each other.
