Mauri tu, mauri ora
An active soul is a healthy soul
Wild Places New Zealand is a nature based early childhood service in Mawhera. Based in Paroa, we use the beach, the bush and the river as part of our education setting. As a bush kindy, we follow in the footsteps of forest schools from around the world, and we learn together in relationship with each other and in our special place
Wild Places Education is a non-profit, charitiable trust, we aspire to be a co-operative educational experience, with tamariki, whanau and community, utilising the natural world, and te ao Maori, as we grow as a community of learners, strong in connection to our place. We aim to work together to deliver amazing outcomes for all tamariki/children and whanau.
