A very enjoyable weekend for the team at the Auckland Parent & Child Show.  This year we had our usual stand plus sponsorship of the Parent room.  A big thank you to Emma and her team of faithful Centre Directors and teachers for the hours at the show and the hours in the rain on Sunday afternoon packing down!

Also a thank you to Kurt and the Grocare team for providing us with their fabulous products.  The versatile poppet chairs (in the pic below you can see a wee lad sitting in one of the chairs while Sneha from Marketing has simply turned it over for grown-up use!) were a huge hit with every parent who spotted them.  These may just be our favourite things!

The Science Viewing Station was also a hit with more than a few ECE teachers stopping by to have a nosy and take a Grocare pamphlet.  

We received some great feedback from parents who already have their children with ABC and we all felt pretty proud to be sporting our ABC uniforms!

Thank you again to all involved!

Great effort Team ABC

Yay for Hawke's Bay!!

A big day at ABC Kamo North today ... a beaut idea from teacher Hannah had everyone, teachers and children, dressing up as All Blacks.  Three year-old Raumati got right into the spirit of the day and then everyone went outside for a group photo.  They even got a visit from the local newspaper!

And here’s another interesting wee nugget from Kamo North.  They have two new enrolments at the centre, Dan Carter and Richie McCaw.  That’s Richie McCaw on top!  ABC Kamo North sounds like a fun place to be.

More than 1000 people marched along Queen St and then gathered in Freyburg Place to hear a range of speakers including Mums, teachers and academics, talk about why 100% qualified ECE teachers is the only way to go.

Rob talked about how all those gathered were in it together and how important it was for employers to strive for 100% qualified teachers and for the government to support all organisations in these endeavours.

ABC NZ is proud to have more than 96% of centre-based staff ECE qualified or in training.

BIG day for ABC Hokowhitu who met Prime Minister John Key at Te Manawa this morning.  Who says our Hokowhitu team isn't in the loop with the movers and the shakers?!

The two Megans (!)  and children (L-R) Mila, Leevi, Nina, Quin, Kayd, Jack, Caleb, Kazia & Simon were stoked with the visit particularly the new museum space specially for under 8's.

The funny part of the picture-with-the-Prime-Minister story is that the Hokowhitu team had to chase him down for a second lot of photos cos the light wasn't that good for the first crop and there were other (gasp!) children in the pic that weren't from ABC Hokowhitu!!  And we couldn't have that!

The excursion was to mark the opening of the brand new Kids Gallery at Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science & History in Palmerston North.  Singing, dancing, story-telling and a picnic to finish!

A great time was had by all ... a big thank you to the folks at Te Manawa and our very own Megan Edwards for organising the trip.
