New safety matting for Kilbirnie Early Learners

Since 1992, Kilbirnie Early Learners has been a nurturing, vibrant, and community-minded haven for hundreds of Wellington children and families. As a non-profit, purpose-built centre, we pride ourselves on providing a friendly, multicultural learning environment where tamariki are supported to explore, grow, and become lifelong learners.

Over the last couple of years our we have been working on upgrading our beloved outdoor area. We've added a new barked wet play area to replace the unsafe fort and tree as part of the overhaul.

We now have an urgent need to replace the original safety matting, which is old, worn, and no longer compliant with modern safety standards. This matting is the foundation for safe, adventurous play, and replacing it is crucial to creating a secure and improved outdoor learning environment.

We are fundraising for the essential work of removing the old matting, disposing of it and installing new modern safety surfacing.

The quote for this critical safety upgrade is $12,000. We have fundraised half of this already.

Every dollar donated will directly contribute to this specific cost, ensuring that the next generation of Kilbirnie Early Learners has a safe and wonderful place to play.

Please help us honour our 30+ year legacy by investing in the safety of our youngest community members. A small donation makes a huge difference!

Take a look at some of the changes we’ve been making to ensure the play areas remains safe and fun for our tamaiti.
