A Stratford childcare centre is inviting families to celebrate the Māori New Year with a light party this month.
Wonder Kids Stratford centre manager Rose Head says the Miranda Street-based childcare centre changed from Best Start to Wonder Kids last year.
“We know so many families have been to this facility during its time here in Stratford. We invite all those people back for our Puanga celebration. It’s a way to celebrate our place in the community as Wonder Kids.”
The name change also came with a new kaupapa, she says.
“We are introducing stronger Māori values and stronger relationships with our community.”
