In this incredibly emotional episode, Libby Nisbet recounts the Rochester community's experience through the flood disaster of 2022, the community spirit that was immediately apparent, and how their work in the kindergarten supported the wellbeing of children and families through the subsequent years.

This episode was recorded on location at Rochy Kindergarten, with all the background noise you'd expect of a bustling early childhood setting!

We want to thank Libby and the Rochester Kindergarten community for being so open to sharing their story in this episode, and encourage listeners to go gently with themselves while listening.

Libby would also like to acknowledge the support of Jodi Hand and her family in the aftermath of the floods, and share gratitude for how quick she was to donate time and support.
