WILDHEARTS
kids space
Welcome to a new kind of after-school experience for children: wholistic, honouring their wellbeing, choices & curiosities, and celebrating local community.
We look forward to working with you and creating a nourishing and empowering space for your beautiful kids.
TERM , 2024
In Term 4 Wildhearts will be running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3-5pm
LOCATION
Kids are collected from Lyttelton Primary School by a Wildhearts leader at 3pm and walked over to the space(ship) at 40 Winchester St or can be beamed there by a caregiver!
FEES
Currently we are charging whanau $20 per day. Please see our payment options further down this page.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each afternoon we start together in a circle for grounding, settling/listening and kai.
Tamariki then have options of inner space activities (art, craft, yoga, movement, drama play, dress up, construction, design etc) or outer space (sport, building, climbing etc). There is a daily offering of something special to do, learn or accomplish.
We bring in Guest Artists (music, art, storytelling, kai etc ) throughout the term for extra excitement and learning for all.
Free play is an option within each space.
GETTING THERE
Tamaraki attending Wildhearts are collected from the office foyer of Lyttelton Primary at 3:10pm by a Wildhearts Leader and walked down to the Union Chapel venue at 40 Winchester Street, in a 'walking school bus' manner. Children who attend other educational realms can beam directly to our HQ via their caregivers personal method of interplanetary travel.
DEPARTURE
We have introduced the idea of a set pick up time at 5O0pm. This allows kids to have a complete experience each time they attend.
We all say goodbye at the same time in a circle for reflection/relaxation and feedback from kids and leaders.
Some kids experience anxiety around not knowing when they are going to be picked up and they really appreciate this set schedule.
Of course you may pick them up earlier if need be.
