Little Wonders Oamaru Turns Ten
14 April 2019
Little Wonders Oamaru is celebrating its 10 year anniversary, and we’re calling out to any families who have ever attended the centre to join in on the fun.
Festivities will kick off on May 10, with a BYO fish and chips night from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. There will also be free face painting, balloon animals, beverages and ice creams.
“Little Wonders is part of the fabric of the Oamaru community. Our centre is respected and trusted, and so many local families have been part of our journey. This is a great chance for all our families – both new and old - to get together,” says Centre Manager Angela Morgan.
Little Wonders Oamaru first opened its doors on May 11, 2009. Several of the original start-up team are still employed at the centre, including teachers Shannon McDonald and Emma Cathcart, and loyal centre cook Jude Middlemass. Angela is hot on their heels and will celebrate her ten years at Little Wonders this October.
“It’s a wonderful centre full of fantastic children and families - that’s why we all stay here so long! Over the years we’ve worked hard to develop the centre into the homely and inviting space it is today. One of our proudest additions is the Trent Street Wilderness Garden which provides a large open space where children can explore and connect with the natural world. Here they can develop physical skills, build huts, learn about sustainability and taking responsibility for the world around them.”
Little Wonders has launched the learning journeys of many Oamaru youngsters, some of whom are now halfway through high school.
“We are really looking forward to catching up with them all!”

There are, of course many learning benefits for children when they engage in music and movement, these are just a few of them as well as some ways that you can bring music and movement to life for your child.

Family and Dramatic Play
Young children are learning their place in the world every single day in multiple ways. The ideas that they form from observing the world around them will often show up when children are engaging in family and dramatic play, but what exactly is family and dramatic play and what are the benefits of your child engaging in it?

A month full of Cultural Celebrations and Learning!
Kia Ora! This month has been full of exciting activities and cultural celebrations at our preschool! We celebrated Cook Islands Week and Tongan Language Week by learning about greetings, colors, numbers, and the days of the week from these cultures. The children enjoyed making Tongan “Otai” and learning some Cook Islands language from one of our dads. We also had a visit from the librarian who entertained the children with puppet stories and songs. A highlight was our parent evening where we discussed raising resilient children. Parents learned about language development and strategies for managing common behavior issues. The children had fun with our homemade Olympic Games, where they created and awarded their own medals. We also raised awareness about asthma with the Sailor Asthma Show, presented by Aimee Gaestro. The Kapa Haka group from St Mary’s School performed for us, and it was a fantastic experience. Be sure to check out the videos! Our oldest children visited St Mary’s School to see what primary school is like and what they can expect. It’s been a busy month, and we look forward to more enriching experiences for the children.
