 Te Rūma Pōtiki

Nau mai, haere mai
Pōtiki is the Early Childhood component of the Nelson Young Parents' School.
​We are an infant and toddler room up to 2 years of age.
At the beginning of the year, we have an Open Day which enables our whanau and tamariki to
visit and learn about the rituals and rhythms of our unique environment.
