In term 1 the Education Review Office visited our centre and reviewed our service.  Over two days, they looked in-depth into our centre programme, management, internal evaluation, teacher/child/parent interactions and relationships, and more.
We came away with a good feeling from their two day review and when the official report was published on the Ministry of Education website, we were very please with the document.  Here is the link:www.ero.govt.nz/review-reports/beachcomber-kindergarten-09-05-2018/

The year started with many new families joining us and settling in to our Beachomber culture.  We organised our annual excursion to Cockle Bay Beach where we invited all our Beachcomber families to come along, get to know each other and explore the sea shore.  Everyone enjoyed themselves, exploring rock pools, making sand castles and picnicing on the grass.
