Ang An 46 WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS July/August 2019 CHILD FOCUS Creators early learning centres - why we’re investing in nature At Creators, nature is a place of learning and wonder. Children should be free to explore and discover the beauty of the natural world. When a child is playing outdoors, they are doing many things: problem solving, testing boundaries and, importantly, learning to fall in love with nature. This is why we have made a commitment to providing opportunities for our tamariki to get out and experience the environment. Whether it be in our outdoor spaces or on regular adventures in the community, it’s something we are passionate about. Creators Educational Trust general manager Kym Gibson explains: “A focus for all of our centres last year was the environment and how we learn through regular interaction with nature. We’re continuing this line of inquiry moving forwards. “The natural world provides us with endless resources and opportunities for play-based learning and there are numerous benefits to being outside for children, but also for the future of the environment.” We find ourselves in an age where “Children are becoming increasingly disconnected from the natural world”, and where “Without purposeful connection to nature, children are missing the opportunity to experience optimal health, wellbeing and development” (Children in Nature, NZ). We also have a responsibility to assist our tamariki in developing a connection with the world that they can carry through to adulthood. “You protect what you fall in love with,” says cinematographer, director and producer Louie Schwartzberg. Early childhood is regarded as the critical period for the formation of positive environmental attitudes where social action towards change can take place. Our aim at Creators is to equip David and Kym Gibson, CEO and GM of Creators Educational Trust. the future generations with positive interactions and a social awareness that enables them to care for our natural world. All weather centres As an organisation, it is important for us to be connecting with nature through every season. Creators chief executive David Gibson says: “We are ambassadors for breaking down those barriers that keep today’s kids inside more than ever. We operate all-weather centres, meaning as long as tamariki have their weather-appropriate clothing, we’ll be outside enjoying all the environment has to offer.” We aim to use real world experiences to initiate and contribute to daily learning, because, as author Richard Louv says: “Time in nature is not leisure time; it’s an essential investment in our children’s health.” - Supplied copy Jazz Unlimited Dance Studio American Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, Tap, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Acting classes and K-Pop dance classes - 3 years to adult.

CHILD FOCUS WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS July/August 2019 47 CREATORS FOREST LAKE 85 FOREST LAKE ROAD, HAMILTON At Forest Lake, play is at the heart of all we do. Our Reggio Emilia approach to learning means our teachers walk alongside tamariki, with children’s natural curiosity and wonderings leading the learning that happens each day. We are an all weather centre meaning rain or shine you will find us exploring our outdoor spaces. We love to play in the mud kitchen, create with loose parts, climb trees and explore all nature has to offer. Our Forest Adventures offer regular opportunities for children of all ages to get out of the classroom, interacting with the community and the environment. We give our tamariki the chance to take risks and challenge themselves, building their self-confidence and celebrating each child’s individual talents. CREATORS AT WAIPA CREATORS ON GRANDVIEW 162 GRANDVIEW ROAD, HAMILTON A hidden gem in the heart of Grandview, we are a multicultural centre that thrives on love and relationships. With strong links into our community, we believe it takes a village to raise a child and consider it an honour to be part of the village. We offer purpose-built, nurturing environments designed to draw out children’s curiosity. Our learning is child-led and is based on exploring tamariki’s individual ideas and theories. We place value in primary connections and love getting to know our tamariki on a 1:1 basis. Observing each child individually allows us to expand on their interests and tend to their needs in a natural and respectful way. 91 CHAPEL DRIVE, TE AWAMUTU Our beautiful centre is situated on the campus of Waipa Christian School. Our innovative centre design allows our children to grow in creativity and empathy for one another. The hallmark of our centre is the strong relationships we form with families on a daily basis. We believe that you can’t look at the child apart from their whānau, and when you enrol your child with us, you become part of our supportive community. We enjoy our links with the wider community- spending time regularly with the neighbouring school, our local retirement village and tending to our community garden. Creators at Waipa is truly a unique environment offering an abundance of opportunity for children to explore, learn and grow.
