Very exciting to see such amazing learning...obviously inspired by the Forest Kindergartens overseas.
Our playgroups are very similar and we have named them "Little Explorer's". At present we are putting together packs for each child to explore with, and we take our children out into the community and into the local natural environments.
It is good too to see the delight and interest on the teacher's faces as they support the children in this learning journey. If you are having fun so too are the children. Children are meant to explore naturally without interference from the material world, and this is so evident in these very beautiful photos - a delight to see as they interact with Papatuanuku.....kia kaha nga tamariki o Fiordland Kindergarten....ou mahi a takaro.
