We are pleased to be able to offer a wide range of sheet materials to suit all manner of projects. Below, we have outlined our most popular materials, followed by other specialist products that we are equally able to supply for you.
Can't see what you need here? Contact us directly with your enquiries today!
The surface of MDF is flat, smooth, uniform, dense and free of knots and grain patterns. The homogeneous density profile of MDF allows intricate and precise machining and finishing techniques for superior finished products. Trim waste is significantly reduced when using MDF compared to other substrates. Stability and strength are important assets of MDF, which can be machined into complex patterns that require precise tolerances
Plywood does not split as easily as conventional wood and has a good dimensional stability under conditions of varying moisture conditions. Plywood will not easily split if a nail is close to any edges. Plywood can be considered as a high strength construction material used for internal and external load bearing panels.
Door Blanks
We are able to offer an extensive selection of sizes, types and finishes of high quality door blanks. This includes lightweight door blanks, MDF and plywood faced door blanks, veneered door blanks and particleboard door cores, which may be laminated, veneered or painted.
OSB (Orientated Strand Board)
OSB is a wood based panel that's been engineered to work for you. It's easy to use and superior in many cases to Plywood, particularly when the Ply doesn't carry the correct certified credentials. It's less expensive than many Ply equivalents too. Very strong, consistent and defect free, it's made with three layers of wood strands that are mixed with resin, each layer is laid in opposite directions for extra strength .So whether you're sheathing walls, laying floors, cladding roofs, fitting out van interiors or anything else, you'll get better results, better efficiency and better value.
Timber Worktops
Each species of timber has its own unique character and properties from being clean and non-tainting (an ideal surface for food preparation) to being naturally durable without the need for environmentally damaging chemical treatments. If you're unsure what species of wood will work best for your project, give us a call for some free, friendly advice!
Chipboard is made from particles of wood bonded together with a synthetic resin and sometimes other binders, normally only suitable for interior use as wall and floor panels and low in cost.
We can also source and supply:
Our Roof Trusses are pre-fabricated from high quality, stress graded timbers and joined with steel nail-plate fasteners, these offer:

Triangular Trusses
A trussed rafter is an engineered framework consisting of structural members forming triangles. The framework derives its inherent strength from this triangulation. They provide a flexible method of framing many required roof profiles.
At Artisan Timber and Flooring Ltd we can manufacture trussed rafters up to an impressive 17.5m overall truss length, and a height of 4.5m. It is possible to manufacture trussed rafters outside this range by manufacturing the truss in two or more sections and site-assembled to the required profile.
We would recommend that you contact one of our experienced sales team as early as possible regarding the design of your roof. Our designers will work with you to reach the ideal solution.
Attic Trusses – "Room-in-the-Roof"
The advantages of attic frames is that they enable the upper floor of a building to be totally contained within the truss. The bottom chords become the floor joist of the room, their size having been calculated to cater for increased loads.
Attic Trusses can be designed to allow "clear span" supported at eaves only, however for longer spans it is recommended to incorporate the intermediate support near to mid-span. This will allow either larger internal room dimensions or reduce the number of timber sections required.
Scissor and Raised-Tie Trusses
Using Raised-Tie trusses it is possible to raise the room height above the height of the wall plate. It is possible to manufacture raised-tie trusses up to 1m above wall plates, although there are other factors that can affect this (600mm is the maximum for most applications).
Scissor trusses also allow the room height to be increased but only in the centre of the truss. This application usually works where a raised-tie truss would not due to the ceiling-tie fixed to the wall plates. There are other truss profiles that can be used to raise the room height above the height of the wall plates.
Hip-End Truss Systems
A Hip-End system offers a simple wall solution at the expense of a more complex roof structure, giving a more decorative finish to the end of a building. Hip-End systems can be designed in many ways to suit individual requirements, however the most common method is the 'Flying Rafter/Infill Hip'. This is shown opposite.
Posi Strut Roof and Floor Systems
Posi Strut systems offer a high strength timber and steel alternative to solid timber and wood web joists. The advantages of such a system is increased clear span, up to 600mm spacing and the open web design eliminates the need for cutting and drilling for services.
Floor Cassettes
Floor cassettes offer the following benefits:

Re: lennon
He's never been a great crosser of a ball although he has had his moments.
There was a period when redknapp was here that he had two good seasons when we were playing quick clever football and he frightened defenders with his pace. I remember him giving Cole and Evra the run around a few times. At that time I believe Liverpool made a bid of 20 mil for him.
The trouble is he hasn't improved, in fact if he could get back to those better days then he would be a real asset to the team but I don't see it happening.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. This is what it's all about. Keep it up
Spinning really is for everyone. My mom started spinning when I become an instructor. She is not athletic and has lost 15 pounds so far in 3 months!! Its all about the modifications in the beginning and sticking with it!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. This is what it's all about. Keep it up
I really have fallen in love with being a spin instructor, watching how it improves the lives of many of our club's members. People of all ages, sizes, and athletic backgrounds coming together to enjoy an hour of spin together, working hard, its beautiful!
That's awesome! My IL's spin together and they are 67 & 70! I hope that's my husband and I, as well as our daughters! My daughters are 4 & 6 and are itching to get on a spin bike since they come to the gym with us twice a week when we spin together. I am looking forward to that day, although I want them to stay little forever.
I like spinning, anyone can easily learn to use spinning to exercise.

It is beautiful. What else can we do for our entire lifetime? One of my favorite motivating quotes is "because you want to be at your grandchildrens' weddings" and now someone in class has actually accomplished that!
I've been instructing for over 10 years and one thing is certain, I get people of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities. From injury rehabs, must fit in the dress brides to be, basketball teams, triathletes, gotta get in shape before basic training, moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers (fathers too) all of them. It never ceases to amaze me the diversity of the participants. It's what makes me WANT to instruct every class.
Kathy this is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I wish I could post photos of my class. Sometimes I'm just so dang proud of them and would like to capture the moment. Thanks for sharing.
Love that your kids club has spin class for children. At my gym we are unable to do that because the bikes wouldn't fit them. Maybe one day!

The surest way to get your indoor transplants off to a poor start, is to provide them with insufficient lighting.
A poor start has an unfavorable, season long effect on your plants. Without sufficient sunlight, plants strain to seek the sun. They do so, by developing a long, thin stem. Without enough light, the stem is weak and struggles to support the growing leaf structure. The stem bends, twists, falls over, and often breaks. So, let's avoid this common, beginning of the gardening season problem.
Let's begin this discussion with the premise that all of your seedlings need full sunlight, as most plants certainly do. The best place to find full sunlight is out in your garden. The trouble is, you are starting your plants indoors because it is still too cold yet to plant them outdoors. This leaves you with more limited options, to provide as much sunlight or substitute lighting as possible.
The best option is a backyard greenhouse. If you have a walk-in greenhouse, lucky you... we all envy you. There are also many types of small greenhouses on the market, that you can get for just a few dollars. Small deck size greenhouses and cold frames are great options. Click Here
For the vast majority of us, our seedlings begin the first few weeks of their life in our house or apartment. Our options for maximizing lighting is much more limited. We need to become "sunchasers", moving our seed trays from one sunny window to the next as the sun moves from east to west. Even on cloudy days, your seedlings will receive filtered sunlight through the window.
Chances are, your young plants will need more than a sunny window. Household lighting, especially fluorescent lights provide some degree of alternate lighting. What many gardeners often do not know, is that the closer the plants are to the light source, the more effective it is. If possible, place your young plants six to eight inches from the light source. I know a gardener who overwinters some plants in his basement, solely with fluorescent lighting!
As the season nears, bring your seed trays out onto a sunny porch or deck during the warmer parts of the day. But, be certain to bring them in as the temperature drops. Forgetting to do so in advance of a cold or frosty night, is a fatal mistake.
Maximizing sunlight to your plants can be time consuming. But, it pays you back with healthy and far more successful plants. On transplanting day, you will marvel at how great your transplants look, even better that store bought plants!

United States District Court, D. Idaho
March 17, 2017
JODY CARR, Plaintiff,v.WARDEN CARLYN, SGT. HIGGENS, D.W. YORDY, D.W. COBURN, WARDEN RANDY BLADES, DR. BABICH, DR. WHINNERY, N.P. RORY YORK, TINA WILLIAMS, SHELLY MALLET, CORIZON MEDICAL, and IDOC, Defendants.
Lynn Winmill Chief Judge United States District Court
Court has before it several motions. As explained below, the
Court will grant summary judgment in favor of all defendants,
and dismiss this case in its entirety.
Carr is
a prisoner in the custody of the Idaho Department of
Corrections. He alleges that in November of 2011, while
incarcerated at Idaho Correctional Institution-Orofino
(ICI-O), he became ill with an antibiotic resistant strain of
"C- Diff" and had severe, bloody diarrhea for
several months that went untreated and left him permanently
underweight and incontinent. He alleges that when he became
ill at ICI-O he filed Medical Care Request Forms, but
Defendant York, a nurse practitioner, refused to see him for
approximately 60 days. Carr further alleges that when York
finally examined him, York diagnosed him as suffering from
hemorrhoids and gave him hemorrhoid cream. Thus, York
examined Carr, determined a diagnosis, and provided him with
also filed a separate lawsuit, Carr v. Higgins et.
al. (Case No. 1:13-cv-00380-REB), in which he alleged
that a correctional officer told him that another
correctional officer had put human feces in Plaintiff's
food in November 2011, and that Carr learned this information
within a few days of when he alleges he ate the feces-laced
food. Carr further alleges that he became immediately and
violently ill. However, it appears that Carr withheld the
information that he may have consumed human feces from York
and other medical providers. Thus, Carr went to his medical
providers with an uncommon illness, the medical providers had
no reason to believe he had been exposed to feces-laced food,
and they followed a regular course of attempting to diagnose
the problem. The other case was ultimately dismissed on
summary judgment in favor of the defendants.
also states that in February or March of 2012, he was seen by
a doctor who diagnosed him with "C-Diff" and
prescribed him an antibiotic, which he claims did not work.
He states that he repeatedly asked ICI-O Warden Carlyn for
help during this time period, but did not receive any help.
Carr further alleges that prison officials failed to protect
him from assault, and that prison officials violated his
right to send and receive mail.
review of Carr's Amended Complaint, the Court allowed
Carr to proceed with the following claims: (1) Eighth
Amendment deliberate indifference medical care claim against
Rory York; (2) Eighth Amendment deliberate indifference
medical care claims against Dr. Whinnery, Tina Williams, and
Shelly Mallet; (3) Eighth Amendment interference with medical
care claim against Sergeant Higgins; (4) First Amendment mail
interference claim against Officer Maddox and Lieutenant
Woodland; (5) Eighth Amendment failure to protect claim
against Physician's Assistant Valley, Sergeant Link,
Sergeant Carter, and Lieutenant Aiello; and (6) First
Amendment free speech claim against Sergeant Mechtel. The
claims are now before the Court on summary judgment, except
the claim against Rory York, who passed away on March 12,
2014. Dkt. 32.
Corizon Defendants (Dr. Whinnery, Williams, Mallet, and
Valley) are Entitled to Summary Judgment.
must exhaust their available administrative remedies before
bringing civil rights actions based on prison conditions. The
federal Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PLRA")
requires exhaustion of administrative remedies for all
federal claims brought by state prisoners who challenge the
conditions of their confinement in a federal complaint.
"No action shall be brought with respect to prison
conditions under section 1983 of this title, or any other
federal law, until such administrative remedies as are
available are exhausted." 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a).
Exhaustion must be proper; meaning "a prisoner must
complete the administrative review process in accordance with
the applicable procedural rules, including deadlines, as a
precondition to bringing suit in federal court."
Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 88 (2006). "The
level of detail necessary in a grievance to comply with the
grievance procedures will vary from system to system and
claim to claim, but it is the prison's requirements, and
not the PLRA, that define the boundaries of proper
exhaustion." Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 218
law also requires that prisoners exhaust administrative
remedies before proceeding with civil lawsuits. Idaho Code
§ 19-4206(1). The Idaho Court of Appeals has interpreted
this statutory provision to require exhaustion for all civil
actions related to conditions of confinement. Drennon v.
Idaho State Corr. Inst., 181 P.3d 524, 526 (Idaho
Ct.App.2007). Likewise, Idaho requires that the prisoner meet
procedural deadlines to exhaust administrative remedies
properly. Butters v. Valdez, 241 P.3d 7, 12 (Idaho
Ct.App.2010) (Relying on federal law interpreting 42 U.S.C.
§ 1997e(a)).
In the
Ninth Circuit, a claim that a prisoner failed to exhaust
administrative remedies is an affirmative defense that should
be brought as an unenumerated motion to dismiss under Rule
12(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Wyatt v.
Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1119 (9th Cir.2002). Defendants
have the burden to plead and prove exhaustion, and the
reviewing court may look beyond the pleadings to resolve
disputed issues of fact, if necessary. Id.
the Corizon defendants have brought such a motion, and they
have met their burden. IDOC's grievance procedure for
inmates is set forth in Defendants' statement of facts
and supporting affidavits. See Pitzer Aff., ¶
3, Dkt. 52-3. The IDOC grievance process is contained
generally in IDOC Policy 316: Offender Grievance Process. The
grievance procedure is ...

Burlap Fashion
I enjoy fashion. I have a lot of respect for Miuccia Prada. I find it exceedingly tiresome when people object to, say, color field painting because their kid could do that. Nevertheless: If you're thinking of spending $1400 on a Miu Miu burlap sack, I'll sell you one for half the price, and I'll even give you the jasmine rice that came in it.

Crypto Money Maker experiences with scam review! It earns money?
Crypto Money Maker (cryptomoneymaker.biz):
Hello, welcome to the Crypto Money Maker experiences with scam review. The Crypto Money Maker App by Jordan Wood is a website that promises to earn ten of thousand of dollars using encrypted currencies, like Bitcoin. After a study of the whole offer is it important to warn against. There is no reason to think it would really work, it contains mostly only tricks to play with your mind and lies. Please read this full Crypto Money Maker scam review to the end before you invest your money, at the end of the review do you find the current best way for earning money from home.
Crypto Money Maker experiences: Only a copy?
When we see the Crypto Money Maker the first time, we know we did read the same texts few days ago. The Video is new, but the rest of the homepage looks nearly exact like the ICO Money Maker, reviewed only four days ago. It is not the first time, scammers try to reuse an old scam to steal more money. Think back at Tesler and Rio Profits, and Terabit Trader and Tera App. They share not only the same design, a short lookup shows that both landing pages resist on the same server. A good and easy tool for IP Lookups is for Linux and Window ping, which shows the IP for a resolved hostname. This is the definitive proof that the same people behind the ICO Money Maker created the Crypto Money Maker too.
Crypto Money Maker uses a fake spot countdown
These and related techniques are usual called pressure techniques. They want, that you get panic that you join fast as possible. But that are only lies! The spot countdown count beginning from around 30 random down to 1. Then it may count upwards too. The counter starts again from around 30, if you reload the homepage. An other common lie is, that you are exclusive selected to see this video. This is like always a public homepage, you could every time visit and see this video. When you see this homepage without following the hyperlink in this review, means this only, that any scammer don't like you and redirected you to this crap offer in the hope you lose your money.
The fake user wins and the popup is the same as in ICO Money Maker, but become here analyzed again that you don't need to read this review. The users that supposed wins a lot of money are just stock photos, stolen from everywhere. That are no really users but always the same images above a random number.
When you try to leave this page, a modal popup try to stop you. That is exact the same as a game ask you on exit "Do you want really exit?". It should stop you, that you may want to continue. But it is a good idea to leave this scam page. A real working solution don't need to use such dirty tricks.
Who is Jordan Wood?
The story is basically the same as 30 Minute Money Methods, but we don't expect any association. The different is, that this time Jordan a man is. You never see his face in the video, was we don't like. It is hard to trust anybody who doesn't show himself. We have tried to find more about this name, but it redirects us always to the Crypto Money Maker. We don't believe that Jordan Wood really exists, but is a paid actor arranged by the really masterminds behind this scam.
Crypto Money Maker experiences and scam review conclusion
There are so many big and little lies, you can never trust this software. All in all is their nearly no truly word into, it is absolutely dishonesty. Out Crypto Money Maker experiences point clearly only in one direction: Crypto Money Maker is a scam! Please don't use it for your own safety!

Sodalite Small Set
All 3 eggs are not sold together. This allows you to mix and match the sizes and gemstones as you like. Click the size dropdown menu and pick the size you want from the set.
Large 45x30mm
Medium 40x25mm
Small 30x20mm
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius, Libra
Planet: Venus
Sodalite is a stone that is good for healing breaches in communication. It is a stone of truth, and brings this to all communications. It is called a Poet's Stone. It can help end arguments or other disagreements. It is particularly useful for honesty of emotions and love. It increases intelligence, knowledge and learning, and can unite the logical with the spiritual. Physically it is said in folklore and crystal healing to be beneficial for the glands, diabetes, digestive system, lymphatic cancer, relieving insomnia, and decreasing calcium deficiency. It is also used in crystal healing for quicker relief of head colds.
Comes with an Organic cotton string.
Please pick the right shipping method for your country or your purchase will not be shipped.
Your egg should be thoroughly washed with a natural liquid soap after each use and left to dry in an open environment (not in a box, yoni bag, or panty draw) . Some people boil their egg for 3 minutes before use and after as well. I was told this is ok and it keeps the egg extra clean.
Cotton string: You can change the string every 2-3 weeks or throw away after each session. The cotton string is perfect for vaginal weight lifting because its stronger.
Hemp string: Not reusable. For extra healing purposes only. Throw away after each session.
Silicone string: Great for everyday use. Easier to clean and it last longer. Completely toxic free
Dental Floss: Not reusable. Must be thrown away after each session
I recommend having all 3 strings!
I don't recommend the yoni eggs with the beads connected to the string because it makes it hard for you change and clean.
Yoni Eggs

If you wanted nothing but ultimate performance in games, CrossFire and SLI were the only options for a long time. DirectX 12 was intended to offer an alternative, but it doesn't seem to be the promised holy land for multi-GPU setups. That is why it is high time to take stock: is the combination of several video cards still relevant in 2018, or does the fairy tale of CrossFire and SLI have an unhappy ending?
To make a good judgment of CrossFire and SLI in the present day, we have had dual-GPU configurations of the top models from both camps go through our full 3D chip test. That's the same test we use to test a new GPU at launch. We went through the entire test course with both the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 in CrossFire and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in SLI.
On the next page we will take a closer look at the current technology behind CrossFire and SLI, but first we will look at it in general: what do you need to combine several video cards? AMD differs from Nvidia, as one would expect from the two rivals. The latest AMD graphics cards, including those based on the Polaris and Vega GPU, use XDMA. This no longer involves the use of a physical bridge, but the mutual communication simply takes place via the PCI Express port. With the introduction of Pascal, Nvidia switched to a faster type of SLI bridge, the so-called HB-SLI-bridge. Various manufacturers are producing such bridges, which cost a few tens of euro.

With rapid expansion of social media and blurring of company officers' personal and official personas online, the D&O risks for companies have grown significantly. This article examines the fallout from Elon Musk's infamous tweet about Tesla stock to illustrate how an officer's social media presence is a potential risk factor. With the market at a critical juncture in the underwriting of D&O coverage, this article also provides insight into essential risk management components.
Over the past few years, the majority of open market underwriters have experienced a deterioration in their loss ratios after years of market growth in a declining rating environment. While the management team at Lloyd's has taken a very strong and public stance on moving quickly to seek a solution, the outlook is not nearly as gloomy as has been portrayed in the media. This article provides a glimpse into Lloyd's sustainability strategy and the London market outlook for 2019.
Many businesses that depend on the export and import of goods contract with freight forwarders to manage the intricate logistics of international trade. As the number of freight forwarders operating in the United States continues to grow and their roles continue to expand, new risks are being generated that require quick adaptation and innovative underwriting solutions. This article identifies the ever-evolving risks that freight forwarders face and explores coverage options for this growing market.
Every industry has exposure to cyber risks, including transportation and logistics. While these industries worked from paper and wheels for many years, now there are both internal and external networks that are critical to operating in this industry group. This article discusses the unique cyber risks facing the transportation and logistics sector, coverages to address these threats, and proactive cyber risk management tools.
A common complication during the claim process is the late reporting of claims. In some cases, a late claim can put the agent or broker's own E&O policy in jeopardy. There are many reasons for missing a reporting deadline; however, in most cases, they will not matter to the insurer or the courts. This article discusses typical claim reporting requirements, common causes of late reporting, and recommendations to mitigate the risk of late notice claim denials.
In 2018, companies within the energy sector rely heavily on technology to perform daily operations. With this increased connectivity comes increased cyber risk. As threats continually evolve, it is virtually impossible to adequately prepare for every type of cyber-attack; however, appropriate insurance coverage can play a key role in mitigating risk. This article discusses energy-related claim trends and the value that Cyber Liability policies can add to your coverage offering for energy risks.
A professional services exclusion is found in most private company D&O policies, as well as in D&O policies issued to publicly traded companies that provide professional services, such as banks and financial advisory firms. Seemingly minor differences in the wording of the exclusion's policy terms have caused numerous claim denials. Learn what you can do to protect against insureds being caught by surprise by a carrier's denial based on an expansive reading of an exclusion.
Stability characterizes the current professional lines market, while cyber insurance has become a buyer's market. Learn more in the Q3 2018 State of the Professional Lines and Cyber Market report.
In 2017, the issue of sexual harassment – especially in the workplace – gained greater awareness as accusations of harassment by high-profile individuals were constantly in the news. In many cases, sexual harassment lawsuits seriously impacted businesses and their respective insurers. Employment Practices Liability Insurance not only provides protection against employee lawsuits, but can also help your clients mitigate their sexual harassment risks.
Cyber risks are continually evolving and AmWINS Professional Lines practice is dedicated to helping you understand the risk and find insurance solutions to mitigate those risks.
As Cyber exposures continue to evolve, it is increasingly important to understand the risks, the potential costs and which type of insurance policy responds.
The False Claims Act (FCA) is a law that imposes liability on persons or companies who have defrauded government programs and is the primary litigation tool used in combating fraud against the government. These tips and trends will help you navigate the changing healthcare landscape under the FCA.
Recent court rulings, have extended the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to apply to websites that are 'heavily integrated' with and serve as a 'gateway' to a physical stores/services. As a result, companies are now finding themselves targets for ADA claims based on the inaccessibility of their websites and media by those who are disabled. Learn how you can protect your clients.
Hit by Ransomware...now what? The incidence of ransomware attacks continues to climb and organizations of all types and sizes need to know what to do when an infection occurs.
The manufacturing industry contributed to over 12% of the U.S. economy in 2015, and this number is expected to increase. While new growth in production and sales is a positive development for businesses, it may also open the door to an elevated and often misunderstood insurance risk: financial damages not caused by bodily injury or property damage.
In the event of a cyber attack, the Directors & Officers (D&O's) of a company are often held liable. D&O's should ensure they have comprehensive insurance coverage as well as mitigate their cyber liability exposure with these three steps.
The financial markets' crisis and the failure of major banks, securities broker/dealers and insurers together with an upswing in cases of fraud has meant that investors are profoundly concerned with the protection of assets they have entrusted to others. Fortunately, there are statutory bodies and insurance policies in both the US and Canada which have been created to address these concerns.
In response to the masses becoming more aware of cyber-attack techniques, hackers have countered with more sophisticated attacks, such as CEO Fraud, also known as Social Engineering Fraud. How we do we address this increasing risk as an industry?
Despite the heavy burden on employers, since its inception, OSHA's programs and policies have dramatically improved employee safety. It's important that employers know about OSHA requirements and exemptions, which could make or break a citation defense.
A close look at a garage liability policy will likely reveal a number of coverage gaps and exposures that could have a dramatic impact on balance sheets in the event of a claim. While these packages are the industry norm, identifying potential gaps and the stand-alone solutions that can supplement the garage package policy will go a long way in helping protect clients before it's too late.

What We Believe
What we do nurtures great people to be their best.
Little Earth children should be happy, caring, respectful, independent, peaceful, purposeful souls, whose minds and bodies are ready for their next challenge.
The learning journey our children take is everything to us. We respect their abilities, their worth as human beings, and we recognise their individuality. Respect for each other and our environment underpins everything we do at Little Earth.
We provide the tools to inspire our children. Passionate and professional teachers, well-resourced and cared-for premises, a loving community of parents and family.
We learn with purpose in an environment of peace and we value harmony, that's how Little Earth children blossom.
Little Earth is a place where children are given time to experience the wonders of life, to listen, to smell, to observe, to touch and to taste, to be outdoors and connect with the Earth, acknowledging they too play a part in the circle of life. We are proud of our beautiful premises. The rammed earth walls, untreated timber, low voc coverings, natural light and ventilation, sandstone pavers, and use of many more natural renewable resources, has created a healthy environment, a living place with a soul, for our children and teachers to learn and teach. Our beautiful environment provides a balance between freedom, order and responsibility, nurturing and stimulating the spontaneous curiosity within the child, inspiring a love of nature and a love of learning. Together we build lasting joyful memories, keeping the enchantment of childhood alive. Taking responsibility, being respectful, showing compassion and taking care are heart-centred qualities the child unfolds in partnership with nature.
A treasure trove of memories
Early childhood is the optimum time to start fostering children's emotional intelligence and ecological literacy. It is also the time to develop empathy. Our special enviro-nature character plays a very important role at our preschool as it offers opportunities for authentic multi-sensory experiences, which are crucial for a child's healthy development.
At our preschool children can explore outdoor nooks and crannies with many opportunities for new discoveries, and unfolding miracles. Natural resources cater for many urges or natural patterns of play as with them, the children create their own activities and are the conductor of their own play. Our beautiful environment is a place where our children can create happy and joyful childhood memories that will last a lifetime.
Being in nature
Our unique outdoor environment gives children the opportunity to explore nature first hand. The natural world is rich and dynamic and provides many opportunities for the children to explore freely, increasing their confidence, emotional competence, physical and social development. Children can jump in puddles, observe insects, climb on logs, pick apples from our trees, collect eggs from our chickens and plant their own vegetables.
The animals, plants, natural elements and natural materials available in our beautiful natural environment give the child plenty of opportunities to have real life, authentic experiences. Nature provides our children with infinite opportunities for active involvement and open ended, authentic experiences with real objects.
Care for animals and plants
Our outdoor environment is the cornerstone of our programme at Little Earth. Maria Montessori advocated that the whole environment should be cared for by the children of the house. Care plays an important role in the prepared environment. It is through care our children learn respect and compassion for all living things, including themselves.
Cultivating relationships between children and animals is an important part of our programme. Through giving children plenty of opportunities to care for our animals they develop a deep respect and compassion for all our living things. Animals in our environment offer the children authentic experiences of observing, caring for and even mourning the loss of feathered, furry and scaled friends
Our Programme
Creating sparks that make our children's eyes shine, as well as connecting them with the natural world and engaging them in genuine and authentic experiences is our most crucial work.
Our strong belief in Montessori education guides us to provide a prepared learning environment in which the child's personal growth is valued as much as their academic achievements.
Each child will be introduced to the Montessori curriculum at their individual level and capability.
Children are taught how to use Montessori materials purposefully. A sense of order, concentration and persistence are developed as the children observe the necessary steps/procedures involved in the use of each Montessori material, and are able to repeat until independent mastery.
Enviro-Nature and Forest Programme
At Little Earth we celebrate the Earth and its wonderful gifts. With our unique enviro-nature programme we use the natural environment around us as an extension of the classroom, incorporating gardening and animal care. Our focus is to strengthen our connection with nature and the environment to create an embedded culture of sustainability. We encourage our children to enact sustainability as an integral part of their daily thoughts and actions.
We work from the heart. Our children, our parents, and whānau, our teachers, and our management are all working together in creating a community based on a culture of respect for the environment, all living creatures, and for each other as well for themselves. Our well-embedded sustainable practices are acknowledged by Enviroschools. We are very proud of our Green Gold Status as an Enviroschool, the first Green Gold in Kapiti.
An exciting aspect of our enviro-nature programme is our Forest programme, which takes a small group of children with two teachers and parent helpers from preschool to a forest reserve, once a week for a morning of exploration. The children explore and play in the forest and are introduced to the beautiful treasures of Tāne Mahuta, the guardian of the forest.
Creativity and Imagination
You won't find active toys at Little Earth, ones which perform for you if you push buttons or insert batteries. Instead you will find active children! Our children make action happen with their whole selves.
Their minds, hands, and bodies work together to transform an object from something passive to something active and creative. This is how real learning, play and creativity occur!
Children need lots of real life experiences to build up a body of knowledge about the world. The richness of those real experiences lays the foundation for developing the child's imagination. This is why the equipment in our preschool is real and engaging to ensure that imagination and creativity can happen.
