HOW SUSTAINABILITY IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF DAISIES EARLY EDUCATION & CARE CENTRE

Daisies has a holistic approach to providing early education and care for its children. It has made many positive steps towards integrating sustainability principles into its operations; from building its premises right through to the way in which it seeks to educate children and their families on environmental principles and our unique interconnectedness to the world around us.

Daisies recognises that Maori are the first people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Te reo and tikanga Maori are woven into the daily practice of the business. Daisies has developed a strong relationship with local Maori who blessed the centre when it opened and continue to attend important ceremonies.
