1 Day free childcare children under 2.
Hi Neighbors!
If you're not aware, there is a government subsidy for children 3 years and older that provides for 20 hours free Early Childhood Education (ECE) care at approved facilities.
Some parents also need care for younger children as they need to get back to work. This would imply that there are family financial pressures involved and it doesn't make sense to us that there's no government support to help those families out.
So, to help our local community we have a special for two days childcare for only $35.00. This special applies to children under 2 years old.
Feel free to let someone who needs this know, and if you or a friend are really stuck then come and talk to us at Grow and see how we can help.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
