Term 3, 2026  July to October

We have been lucky to be chosen to be part of the Good in the Hood Campaign run by Z Station. Only 4 community organisations are chosen for each station out of hundreds of applicants. One small token can make a huge difference, so if you're at Fairy Springs Z Station, please pop a coin into our box and help us to raise some funds for our Creche! From 18th August for 4 weeks!

Upcoming Events for Term 3:

Our popular family Quiz night is being held on Thursday 20th August! We have our 9 teams locked in, food is on order and the raffle tickets are selling fast for some incredible prizes! 

 

We kickstarted the term learning about road safety from Georgie and Ruru the Road Safety Owl

 

Vision and Hearing 

Vision and Hearing do regular visits to check our four year olds. They play a game that helps to check their hearing levels and their vision. This is such an important check and can pick up early signs of anything not being quite right, giving time to get it checked further.  Some of our tamariki have needed glasses following these check ups or extra hearing checks so it's a great service.

Library visits

We are very excited that this year, once a month from February through to November each year we will be taking part in the 'On the road' preschool programme. Whaea T.A. from the Rotorua Library will be coming in at 11am on a Wednesday each month to share a story time, musical instruments or sensory play with our tamariki. 

The library also delivers a box of books for us, to compliment our bookshelf. We are able to look at and read the books,  then they are collected after 4 weeks, and another box delivered! We get to choose the topics we would like and they pick out a few surprises too.
