Welcome to Lollipops Millennium

Ad and I just wanted to take a moment to send you and all the staff at Lollipops a thank you email. We miss you all a lot, and that's not only because you normally take care of Noah while we work. That is obviously amazing and we do miss it as getting work done with Noah around is very tyring. But it's more than that, we really appreciate the effort and work you all put in to instil important values to all the kids at Lollipops Millenium. You teach them kindness, respect, care, love and confidence among so many other things. We have always appreciated that, but it is now apparently more than ever. We thought those were normal values to have and to want to instil in a child, but we've noticed that this doesn't seem to be the case with all families. In our case, we're seriously struggling with this at the moment.

We're so happy we found lollipops as a daycare, where we feel all staff and parents share the same values as we do. You're playing an important role in showing these kids what's wrong and what's right and you're all doing an amazing job at it. So a very big thank you to all of you, you are truly amazing.

Please do share this with all the staff at Lollipops!

We hope you and your families are all safe and well, take good care of yourselves.

To all the teachers- A quick note to say Thank you for everything you have done for Roman over the last couple of years. Roman is going to miss the centre very much! I cannot thank you enough for what an amazing centre Roman has been blessed to be a part of. You are all always so friendly, approachable and caring to all the kids. I have always felt safe leaving Roman in your care. Thank you once again for the important role you played in my little learner and the boy he is!

To all amazing teachers at Lollipops- I would like to thank you all for looking after Natalya since she was 7 months old. You guys did such a great job guiding and teaching her over the years. She achieved a lot already and started school this week and I truly believe that you helped her build confidence and passion for learning and people and life. I could not imagine her spending the last four years in another place. This centre is by far one of the best ones. Thank you once again

Izabela, Anton

To all teachers at Lollipops- My daughter Ashley has been attending Lollipops since she was 14 months old and she will be 5 years old soon. As a parent of Ashley, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent achievements and learning you have imparted to my daughters progress. Thank you so much for being there for Ashley, teaching her and loving her. You help and guide my daughter every single day in building the foundation of her knowledge. It is nice to feel so confident and safe knowing she is in your care and you are the reasons behind these wonderful achievements. We will miss you more than you know. Thanks for everything

What's On

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. Connections to Te Whāriki (ECE Curriculum) Learning Outcomes: Belonging: Connecting with people, places, and things in their world Contribution: Using skills and strategies to play and learn with others Communication: Enjoying and creating stories
