🌊✨ Grow. Connect. Transform. — with Kimberley Crisp in Papamoa Beach ✨🌊

📅 Saturday 21 March 2026
⏰ 11:00am – 1:00pm
📍 Papamoa Community Centre (15 Gravatt Road, Papamoa)

Are you ready to reignite your passion for teaching, deepen your connection with tamariki, and step into a year of wholehearted professional growth?

We are thrilled to welcome Kimberley Crisp — a truly inspiring early childhood educator, mentor, and changemaker — for an unforgettable professional development experience right here in Papamoa Beach.

With over 30 years’ experience guiding teachers, teams, and leaders across Aotearoa and beyond, Kimberley brings a rare blend of wisdom, heart, and deep insight into what truly matters in early childhood education. Her work invites educators to slow down, reflect deeply, and see children — and themselves — with fresh eyes.

🎓 What you’ll experience between 11am and 1pm:

✨ Deep, reflective learning that reconnects you with why you became an educator
💡 Inspiring insights into environment, ritual, relationships, and play
🤝 Meaningful kōrero with like-hearted educators
❤️ Practical ideas you can take straight back to your centre
🌟 A renewed sense of confidence and clarity in your professional practice

This two-hour session is designed to nourish both your thinking and your heart — leaving you energised, inspired, and ready to implement meaningful change.

💛 Hosted by Jitbug — With Gratitude

This event is proudly hosted by Jitbug — and it is completely free of charge.

This professional development session is open to all ECE teachers — not just past or present Jitbug relievers. Whether you’ve worked with Jitbug before or not, you are warmly invited.

Why?

Because teachers do an incredible job. Early childhood education is often a thankless and selfless profession. You show up every day with patience, heart, resilience, and dedication — shaping young lives in ways that truly matter.

This event is our way of saying thank you.

It’s an opportunity for Jitbug to give back, to acknowledge the mahi you do, and to help fill your cup — so you can continue pouring into others with energy, intention, and heart.

💫 Spaces are limited — secure your place and be part of a professional learning experience that truly makes a difference. Link to register is in the comment section below 👇

Kia Ora lovely teachers!! We're back with a FREE PD Workshop with the talented Kimberley Crisp talking about REIGNITING THE SPARK.

This free PD workshop is free for all ECE teachers, regardless of whether you are a Jitbug reliever or not. This event is our way of giving back to the ECE community 🙏

Kimberley has a HeArT for reigniting the spark and supporting teachers to see the light within. Stress is the fastest way to extinguish the "flame".🔥

Being a teacher is not for the faint hearted, its for the FULL hearted.
We are giving from ourselves all day and we are in output mode.

Lets come together and have some nourishing connection - and cross polinate. ❤️

As relievers you have a potent position to literally breathe life into teams, sprinkle your spark and cross polinate with so many teams.

Come and hear Kimberley's poignant pondering around the power of the present and prepared teacher. Let's connect... recharge... reignite the flame and create a fire that burns from within.

PS: there will be an amazing lunch provided after. We'd love to use this opportunity to get to know all of you and thank you for the wonderful work you do for our children 🥰
Spaces are limited so be quick!
