KIDSTUFF<br />
Lindisfarne nursery school<br />
Lindisfarne opened in 1987 with the aim of<br />
providing parents and families with a nursery<br />
school which respects their individual needs<br />
and aspirations. We provide full time, part<br />
time and casual enrolment opportunities for<br />
your child, so that you can organise a schedule<br />
which suits your requirements.<br />
The teachers provide learning experiences<br />
tailored to individual children’s needs and<br />
interests, and the programme promotes<br />
independent thinking and skill development.<br />
Our aim is to have happy, settled, confident<br />
children, who enjoy an environment which<br />
fosters a love of learning, and respect for all<br />
people.<br />
We are proud of our multi-national<br />
community and the opportunities this<br />
provides for both teachers and children.<br />
Regular parent and whanau activities are<br />
organised throughout the year, and we place<br />
an emphasis on a close liaison between home<br />
and nursery school, which is vital to any child’s<br />
success and progress.<br />
We do hope you find our website helpful<br />
(www.lindisfarnenursery.school.nz) but<br />
encourage you to visit the nursery school<br />
for a full information booklet. We will be<br />
delighted to meet you and your child, and<br />
welcome you to Lindisfarne.<br />
Kids love CASPA!<br />
Learning through<br />
experiences,<br />
interactions and play<br />
at Marshlands Nest<br />
Roslyn Eason, fully trained and experienced<br />
early childhood teacher, owns and operates<br />
Marshlands Nest Early Learning Centre which<br />
is an intimate centre with a maximum of <strong>25</strong><br />
children.<br />
Roslyn says “Our goal is to create a setting<br />
where self-esteem, love, learning and respect<br />
for others is prominent and where every child<br />
leaves each day feeling secure and loved in<br />
their special environment.<br />
At Marshlands Nest they create a most<br />
positive environment for children so they can<br />
learn through all experiences and interactions<br />
but most importantly through play.<br />
This have a mixed licence which means<br />
children of different ages play and interact with<br />
each other. It allows siblings to be together<br />
and gives solo children a chance to be part of<br />
a larger family. It also means children do not<br />
need to transition between rooms so can stay<br />
with the same teachers and children.<br />
Marshlands Nest does recognize the need<br />
for age specific learning and a portion of each<br />
day is spent in ‘nest times” learning with<br />
others of the same age.<br />
The team at Marshland Nest would love to<br />
have you as part of their family, please feel<br />
free to drop in or give them a call.<br />
CASPA (Creative After School Programmed<br />
Activities) incorporating PAPA JACKS offers<br />
children the opportunity to be creative, make<br />
new friends and try new experiences all within<br />
a safe, nurturing environment. CASPA offers<br />
working parents an affordable after school and<br />
school holiday programme that their kids just<br />
love!<br />
CASPA attributes its success to the variety<br />
of activities on offer as well as the convenience<br />
and affordability for parents. CASPA kids<br />
enjoy an exciting range of activities including<br />
sports, music, games, drama, arts and craft as<br />
well as fun trips. Previous themes and activities<br />
have included a Karaoke Dance Party, CASPA<br />
Fear Factor, Healthy Art, Out of Africa and<br />
hundreds of other amazing themes/activities!<br />
CASPA parents enjoy peace of mind,<br />
knowing their kids are safe and enjoying the<br />
benefits of a quality after school programme.<br />
Some parents and caregivers also enjoy<br />
government subsidies for CASPA. CASPA<br />
is Child Youth and Family approved for the<br />
OSCAR Subsidy and in some circumstances,<br />
the full CASPA fee will be covered by the<br />
subsidy.<br />
