FUTURE GENERATION NEW BOUTIQUE PRESCHOOL OPENS IN THE CENTRAL CITY HONEYBEES PRESCHOOL owner Natalija James talks about how the idea came about. "When our little boy was a newborn HoneyBees Preschool was still a twinkle in our eyes. As we lay there in those blurry morning hours too overtired to sleep, we imagined what a preschool he would go to one day might be like. We thought about warm loving teachers who genuinely connected with him and truly felt the responsibility of what they were being entrusted with. We visualised a beautiful open space with lots of sunshine and light and natural wooden toys; we hoped for food that was organic and unprocessed so that he would get the best nutrients to build his growing little body; we saw a group of parents and children and teachers who really felt like a family sharing happy days together. We dreamed of him learning how to make his way in the world, becoming confident and sociable as he got bigger and stronger and more independent; we talked about laying the foundation with lots of experiences, languages, and technology that is so important in those first few years, exposing him to as much of the richness of life as we could... and out of all those wild imaginings grew HoneyBees Preschool three years later, the sort of place that will make all its children believe anything is possible for them." "Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon." PN www.honeybees.co.nz F
