Play Time - things to do with your pre-schooler
Chatterbox
Chatterbox – a safe space to share and discuss ways to increase the language skills of our tamariki. We want to share ideas, ways of doing things, celebrate successes and support each other. We recognise that every whanau is different and has their own ways of doing things. What works for one may not work for another. Let’s share and figure this out together as a community.
