Tēnā tātou katoa
Ka whāngaia, ka tupu,ka puāwai
That which is nurtured, grows then blossoms
Playcentre Aotearoa PLD facilitators are making a meaningful and positive difference! Our hands-on mentoring, rooted in connecting with whānau and sharing personal experiences, is essential in fostering strong relationships and building trust. It’s rewarding to know that we’re not only sharing best practices, but also offering ongoing, active support to centres as they develop. This approach cultivates a vibrant learning environment that benefits both the facilitators and the centres they assist.
Here are some key highlights and sources of inspiration we’d like to share from the term:
Ephemeral Art in the sandpit!
We’re excited to offer Pacific PLD sessions in the South Auckland region during Term 1 and 2 2025, led by Karen Thomas!
