About Us:
Wondernauts is a not-for-profit, community-based Early Learning Centre known for high-quality early childhood education. Our vision is to foster a radiant community by supporting children, whānau, and our team through exploration, respect, creativity, lifelong learning, and a connection to the natural world.

The Role:
We’re looking for a creative and reliable volunteer to help us continue a cherished tradition—making Birthday Crowns for our children's milestone celebrations! Each child takes home their crown as a keepsake, making this a special part of their Wondernauts experience.

  • Deliver finished crowns to us, or we can arrange pickup when a batch is ready.

We Provide:

  • All materials needed—just bring your creativity!
  • A simple, established pattern and guidance if needed.
  • The joy of knowing you're part of making a child's birthday extra special!

If you love crafting and want to contribute to our community in a meaningful way, we'd love to hear from you! 😊

Requirements:
  • Be a competent machine sewer with your own sewing machine.
  • Be able to follow a pattern and process with ease.
