NatureFocus
At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education we are passionate about supporting children to connect with nature and Papatuanuku.
At our weekly NatureFocus the environments offer a variety of possibilities for exploring, planning, reasoning & learning as the children are able to study, discover, investigate and search. Developing a sense of belonging in their community and an attachment with nature.
At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education the children’s relationship to Papatūānuku is based on whakapapa, respect and aroha.

This week, we embraced the children's curiosity as they led us back to a favorite spot: the bridge for some "fishing"! Together, we placed flowers in the stream, watching them drift downstream, and collected rocks to test our throwing skills.
It was heartwarming to see friendships grow as they shared, explored, and built on each other's creativity. Some friends even began discussing a campfire.
Moments like these remind us of the beauty of child-led learning, where nature provides endless inspiration and every discovery is shared with friends. 🌱✨
Here at Nurture@Home we LOVE to collaborate and to support our local community, so with keeping with the joy of giving and with Christmas just around the corner PROJECT AROHA has come to life! 😍
This year we are collecting donations of non-perishable food items and other Christmas goodie treats to be able to gift to a local family (via nomination on our post) some extra kai and treats to enjoy at Christmas time.
If you would like to contribute to PROJECT AROHA and bring some additional joy to another family this Christmas, please contact us to arrange a collection, otherwise there will be a donations box placed at 1 Highfield Grove in Richmond that items can be dropped off to. This box will be emptied regularly for safe storage of any donations.
We are also accepting donations of new toys for our annual Christmas toy drive to support another lovely local organisation that does such great work here in our community too. Helping Families Nelson
