" A huge thank you to the parents, staff and entire team at Learning Adventures Rotorua Day Care at Whakarewarewa for their amazing generosity. Parents have donated a massive amount from people with young kids in the Napier and Gisborne areas. We will add it to the other things collected and make sure it gets to the people who need it the most. Redwoods, Whakarewarewa Forest "

Learning Adventures Rotorua has been awarded the Whānau Healthy Heart for 2022-2024
The Tohu Manawa Ora | Healthy Heart Award is a free programme for early learning services, designed to help create a nourishing learning environment for tamariki.
There are three stages in the Tohu Manawa Ora | Healthy Heart Award journey: Rito, Whānau and Pā-Harakeke. Each award is made up of strands to complete with different themes.
Rito is the heart of the plant, where new beginnings start. It recognises commitment in founding a healthy eating and physical activity environment.
Whānau builds on the foundations set at Rito. It helps build and strengthen existing healthy eating and physical activity foundations at our centre.
Pā-Harakeke will weave healthy eating and physical activity practices sustainably into all aspects of our centre.
