At Tots on the Rock we not only care for our Waiheke tamariki we care for our Waiheke environment as well. We are committed to minimising our footprint on our earth and to do what we can to make the planet better. Through promoting sustainable practices, the Tots tamariki are encouraged to develop a sense of responsibility for the wellbeing of both the living and non-living environment. These practices also offer tamariki a relationship with the natural environment and knowledge of their own place in the environment whilst also developing working theories about the living world and how to care for it. We endeavour to protect Papatūānuku by being kaitiaki, guardians of our  environment. ![Squared Images (49)](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/Squared%20Images%20(49).png?width=2048&height=2048&name=Squared%20Images%20(49).png) ![Tots waves (15)](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/hubfs/Tots%20waves%20(15).png) ![Squared Images (50)](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/Squared%20Images%20(50).png?width=2048&height=2048&name=Squared%20Images%20(50).png) Environmental Awareness ## Sustainable Practices At Tots on the Rock we endeavour to minimise our footprint on our local and wider environment and implement the following practices: Use eco-friendly products and try to avoid using chemicals   Recycle everything where possible – the children make things out of all the boxes and packaging that comes in to the centre   Feed our food scraps to Hayleys chickens and use our eggs for our menu   Use free range meat & eggs   Have a worm farm and use the worm juice to fertilise our garden Beach clean ups with our whānau Catch Rain water Help keep our environment litter free Recognition of Seaweek, Conservation week and other environmental-based awareness events +64 (0)9 3728555 Info@totsontherock.co.nz 22 Kuaka Rd,  Oneroa, Waiheke Island [![Tots on the rock Logo](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/Tots%20on%20the%20rock%20Logo.png?width=190&height=100&name=Tots%20on%20the%20rock%20Logo.png)](https://www.hubspot.com/) - [Contact Us](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/enquiries-tots-on-the-rock) - [Our Philosophy](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/our-philosophy) - [Book a Look Around](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/book-a-look-around) - [Essential Forms and Documents](https://www.totsontherock.co.nz/essential-forms-and-documents) Opening Hours:  Monday - Friday  7am - 6pm  Copyright © 2025 Tots on the Rock.
