Tender Shoot hits 500 (July 2010)
We have passed the magic 500! On the 5 July, 2010, we enrolled parents 501 and 502 into a 'First Baby' class. Thank you to each and every person who has taken up the offer of Tender Shoot. You have helped in the most significant way to make this venture happen.
We have charitable status!
We heard today that our application for charitable status from the Charities Commission has been successful and our registration number CC38187 is our proof. This means we can begin to fundraise for the school and secure its viability. Check out the Charities Commission website at www.charities.govt.nz to find out more.
Feedback from first parents now coming in
- Anna was at the hospital (her Nana was dying). It was a stinking hot night and Brian wouldn't settle. I was home alone. I walked round for three hours till Brian settled and I put him to bed. I did not get flustered or worried. I just spoke to him and cuddled him. It was empowering” (new father)
- A high point for me was when I started to watch our baby and really started to learn his cues. When you take notice it makes being a mother a wonderful experience. (new mother)
