Raising a generation of cotton wool kids

Click on the link below to watch a short but stirring programme broadcasted on TVNZ's Sunday last night.

 Christine, Zair and I were lucky enough to visit Claire Maley-Shaw and her remarkable Kindergarten whilst researching information for our own Nature Programme. 

 This article affirms how lucky I feel to be part of such a progressive and forward thinking community. Thanks Mairtown families for your on-going support and trust in your children's capabilities.

    Jarrod & I watched the segment on Sunday last night - we are both so proud that our children have the opportunity to be part of a similar outdoor program at Mairtown Kindergarten - any thoughts on introducing 'Bull Rush' (just kidding!!).
