Pick up some quality secondhand items, take a turn on the bouncy castle, or indulge in some yummy baked goods at a fundraising garage sale for some "wonderful mums".
Quality Kidz' home-based childcare garage sale next weekend is one to mark on the calendar, with plenty of homeware, clothing and shoes on offer.
The centre hopes to raise a substantial amount of money from the event towards sending its home educators on a trip to Wellington in September for the New Zealand home-based childcare conference.
Educators team leader Katrina van der Gulik said the centre's seven educators were not funded to go to the conference, so fundraising would hopefully raise enough to cover their fees, as well as flights and accommodation.
Home-based educators look after up to four children in their homes each day.
