We revisited the THRIVE document and took some time to engage with ...

Faith the Fantail visits CBK

We have loved having ‘Faith the Fantail’ visit us at CBK.  She has had the opportunity to visit all four of our areas. It has been lovely watching the tamariki share our CBK value of manaakitanga with her; that ‘we are kind and caring, we are warm and welcoming, we take care of one another’. She has had many opportunities for kai beginning at Crèche where she took part in their ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ whānau event. Then she flew down the road to Kidz@303 to spend time in the p...

Seeking Shalom

After reflecting on the notion of thriving at our recent CECEAA Hui I have been mulling over the word shalom.  We were challenged by Cathryn Bell to take time out of our busy lives and really seek solitude with our heavenly Father.  It is through this relationship with God and coming from a place of rest that we can then truly experience shalom.  Shalom is much deeper than just gaining peace it is about wholeness, feeling safe, and flourishing (Brueggemann, 1976). I was discu...

Footprints Educare - Whanaungatanga

It is about being connected. It is a relationship through shared experiences and working together, which provides people with a sense of belonging. It is family and kinship. It is the principle, which binds individuals to the wider group and affirms the value of the collective. We come together on Mondays and Fridays and give glory to God. Each room takes turns to lead our Whanaungatanga time. We share special news of our tamariki and their whanau at this time. We share new things we have d...

How Facebook Advertising Could Help Your Centre

At Little Ones Preschool, we are a privately owned, rural Christian preschool. We started 10 years ago, and then added a Nursery three years later. We are licenced for 62, but have just 30- 40 children attending each day. The Ministry of Education state that the number one reason that people select a preschool, is it’s location. So previously we have basically done little or no marketing of our centre. This year, we set up a company Facebook page. We can post for free. Usually if we post a pho...

Manaakitanga - A leadership of kindness

Having a deep understanding of our own identity is important to defining yourself as a  person, and certainly as a leader.Research has shown that in early childhood there is very little formal training in leadership. Most leaders learn as they go, using cause and effect as the tool to improvement. This has certainly been the case with me.We begin to delve into identity when we are training to be teachers and develop a personal philosophy. This philosophy is generally based on developmental ...

Building a Christ-centred Organisational Culture

“Let your roots grow down into Him and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:7Promoting and establishing teacher well-being is the foundation of a strong healthy organisational culture. Without prioritising teacher well-being it becomes challenging for children’s well-being to be at the centre of their educational experience. This internal evaluation tool is designed to enab...
