TE KAOKAO is on āpōpō, whānau.

This rōpū supports pēpi from birth until confidently mobile, alongside their caregivers. The focus is on nurturing strong attachment and meaningful connection, supporting whānau to read pēpi cues, follow pēpi led rhythms, and build confidence in their new relationship. We explore breastfeeding, mirimiri, rongoā, gentle play, and postnatal hauora that supports the wellbeing of both parent and pēpi.

If you have a pēpi nohinohi and you'd like to join our rōpū, we would love to see you.

10am-12.30pm

Our Holiday Programme brought our whānau together for two special outings to Launch Pad and Willowbank these school holidays.
It was wonderful to see tamariki and whānau spending time together, strengthening relationships, supporting one another, and embracing new experiences.

Our kaimahi feel incredibly grateful to have shared these moments alongside your whānau. Ngā mihi nui for trusting us to be part of your journey and for contributing to the sense of belonging, manaakitanga, and community that made these days so meaningful.

He waka eke noa.

A special shout out to Tiff who isn't in this photo even though she was there too, sharing the awhi!

Celebrate Matariki with us ✨

Matariki is a special time for remembrance, celebrating the present, and setting intentions for the year ahead. It’s a time to come together with whānau and community as we welcome the Māori New Year.

In collaboration with the Phillipstown Community Hub and Christchurch City Council Council, we will be gathering on the 14th of July at Phillipstown Community Hub for a day of fun, family-friendly activities and delicious kai as we celebrate Matariki.

We warmly invite you to join us as we reflect and celebrate together. We look forward to seeing you there!
