Q. How best can I help settle my child in?

A.  This is a great question, and one we get asked a lot. At North Haven what we find that children settle in best after a few visits with whanau. This is a great opportunity for you and your child to get to know us, and for the teachers to get to know how you like your child to be cared for. A minimum of three, one hour visits before you leave your child with us works well, and we are always open to helping you plan a transition that works for your whanau.   ​

Q. What ways can I be involved?

A.   At North Haven we have an open door policy, you are always welcome. Throughout the year we hold community and family events you can be involved with, such as a mid winter children's disco, Matariki celebrations, and a Christmas event.
