A big event

Our approach with the young child here at Four Seasons is one that nurtures and respects that the early years in life are to be protected. We believe that much of the ‘adult world’ is one that is best filtered for tamariki.  Whilst we would love to imagine that an event such as the deep tragedy that occurred in Christchurch earlier this year would never occur in our beautiful part of the country, it would be remiss of us to not consider and have a plan and procedure to protect tamariki and kaiako.

With deep consideration and also advice from the Ministry of Education along with findings from a report compiled after the Christchurch tragedy, we have come to finalise our Lockdown Policy.  This policy and procedure will be revised annually, with a drill undertaken with kaiako and tamariki quarterly.

We will always notify whanau ahead of time that we are going to practise our Lockdown procedure, and rest assured, that whilst tamariki will hear the words ”Lockdown”, we will not bring into consciousness the reality behind these words.  To our tamariki, it’s a time where we listen very closely to the korero of our kaiako, we all stop what we are doing and oh so quietly make our way upstairs into our playgroup space where we make sure that all our friends are with us.  Then we get to go back down into our kindergarten to play again.

As with all our policies and procedures, we welcome feedback and suggestions from our community.  With the sensitivity regarding this policy, we invite conversation away from the delicate ears of tamariki so please connect with Traceylee in the office or request a time to meet with kaiako so that space can be made away from the group of children.

KPMG Report

Kim Manunui

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
