Our offering
Healthy focus
We are keen for all children to be physically active and lead healthy lifestyles. Rosy Cheeks has a lovely large garden area which enables us to offer a wide variety of outdoor activities. Tamariki at Rosy Cheeks enjoy growing vegetables and picking fruit from the garden.
Rosy Cheeks has also achieved the prestigious Heart Foundation Healthy Heart Award. This award reflects our commitment to providing an environment that promotes a combination of healthy food choices and physical activity.
Creativity
At Rosy Cheeks, we have a separate dedicated art room where tamariki are encouraged to explore and investigate their creativity through art and messy play.
Session times
Rosy Cheeks opens at 8.00am and closes at 5.30pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Children may attend all day or morning (8am-12.30pm) or afternoon (1pm-5.30pm) sessions. Many centres require children to be enrolled for a minimum number of days or sessions each week. At Rosy Cheeks we allow whānau to decide what is appropriate for their child.
Community Focus
At Rosy Cheeks, we believe in the importance of building strong connections with our local community. We love finding ways to get involved, create meaningful experiences and make a positive contribution to the neighbourhood around us.
One of our special community projects has been bringing a little bit of magic to the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River, where we worked together to create and install a collection of fairy houses along the riverbank. This project was a wonderful opportunity to bring people together, encourage imagination and create something special for local families to enjoy.
We want our tamariki to develop a sense of belonging, connection and pride in the community they are part of.
