Give a Little,
Help a Lot

Can by Can, Together
We Can Make a Difference

At Kiddywinkles, we’re all about people. Yes, we’re an early learning centre, but more than that, we’re a part of this community. And when someone’s doing it tough, we believe it’s our job to step in and help where we can.

That’s why we’ve launched our Give a Little, Help a Lot food drive to support the incredible team at The Salvation Army’s Westgate Food Bank.

From 19 May to 19 June, we’re asking our Kiddywinkles families and the wider community to drop off canned food to our Huapai or Westgate centres. Whether it’s one can or a whole box, every single item will go to a local family that needs it.

This isn’t just about filling a pantry — it’s about showing up for people when life throws them a curveball. Job loss, illness, sudden bills... sometimes good people just need a bit of help to get through a tough patch. The Food Bank offers more than food, they give people support and a way forward.

We’ve been lucky to have some amazing Kiwis like Toni Street, Simon Barnett, and Joseph Parker help spread the word. They’ve lent their voices to this because they care, just like we do.

So, if you can spare a can (or a few), pop it into the big collection barrel next time you visit. Let’s show what this community is made of.

“Can by Can, we can make a difference to so many.”

ABOUT KIDDYWINKLES

Where bright beginnings take shape

From the moment you step through our gate, you’ll get a sense that there’s something special about Kiddywinkles. You’ll see it in the smiles of our long-standing team. You’ll see it in the beautiful connections between the children and their teachers. You’ll see it in the celebration of creativity that covers our centre’s walls. And you’ll see it in the faces of kids who are confidently discovering their place in the world alongside new friends and our caring team.

Kiddywinkles is a purpose-built facility. Within the walls of our safe, private facilities is an inclusive, welcoming and creative space where your child can explore their sense of wonder, develop interpersonal skills and fall in love with learning. The families we welcome here are just as much a part of shaping this culture – and we’d love to have you join us.
