Milford Kindergarten are consistent performers when it comes to healthy heart achievements and have just achieved a Pā-Harakeke award for the fourth time in a row.

The Heart Foundation will be featuring us on their website as a Case Study and ‘Hearty’ is coming to help us celebrate.

At Milford, our philosophy focuses on well-being, nature, sustainability, and kaitiakitanga. For example, we regularly facilitate a ‘Kai Moana Experience’ which I regard as a strong example of integrated learning, incorporating hauora, science, technology, mathematics, and literacy into a very interactive activity that really appeals to our children. Thanks to Devonport Kindergarten for first sharing this experience with me nine years ago.

We are very excited and honoured to have maintained Pā-Harakeke and would like to thank all our children and whanau for being part of what is definitely a team effort!
