March 2016 Recipients
Te Puke Playcentre received $786.26 to purchase a mix of firefighter, police officer, doctor and nurse costumes, to create an inviting, fun and creative play area for the children.
The playcentre believe costumes are an important aspect of children’s development, providing various opportunities for fantasy and social play and encouraging children to use their imaginations.
The costumes purchased will also encourage role modelling, increasing the children’s knowledge of their community and the wider world.
