Excursions play a vital role in early childhood education in Aotearoa New Zealand, offering mokopuna rich, real-world experiences beyond the preschool environment. These outings provide opportunities for mokopuna to explore, question, and connect with the people, places, and things in their wider community, helping them make sense of the world around them. Whether visiting local theatre experiences, Fire Station, exploring Te Papa, or walking through nearby gardens, our mokopuna engage their senses, extend their vocabulary, and develop social confidence. These experiences build a foundation for learning that is both meaningful and memorable, fostering the development of confident and competent learners.
