This week we welcome our new friends to the junior kindy room, four spiny leaf insects!

Over the next few weeks our friends will be visiting us so we can learn how to care for them.

We showed off our gentle hands whilst holding them (some children were more keen than others!) and each had a turn giving them a drink using the water spray bottle.

Feel free to come and see our new insects but please ask before touching them and ensure the cage is closed properly as they like to escape!

We also made our own little critters out of pipe cleaners and explored the sorting coloured bugs

Painting with cotton tips while enjoying our beautiful weather outside. ☀️
The children show great creativity and love for painting. Painting develops colour recognition, fine motor strength and creativity.

Why do we practice fire drills in childcare?
Regularly rehearsing your service's emergency and evacuation rehearsals is important in ensuring children and staff know what to do in the event of an emergency and can assist you in informing children as to what they should expect in the event of an emergency without scaring them or undermining its importance

We assembled our worm farm today, which consists of several stackable trays, and gained insight into the worms' functions and feeding habits, such as their ability to break down food waste into nutrient-rich compost.

Give your child the opportunity to enjoy a fun, safe environment where they can explore, make friends and learn! 🥳
Our Centre is open Monday to Friday from 6:30am until 6:00pm.

If you would like your child to attend a centre that truly cares, reach out to our friendly team to organise a tour. 🥰

Last week was National Reconciliation Week. National Reconciliation Week is an opportunity for childcare services to reflect on their role in the reconciliation process and to take action toward building respectful and inclusive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Our newest addition to the junior kindy room, Miss Phoenix shared her culture with us this week.
Miss Phoenix comes from the Gomeroi clan Tribe & the Noonuccal People.
We had such a great week learning all about our First Nations people.
Miss Phoenix even organised a special visitor Ethan to come and show us the didgeridoo. We got to see the amazing paintings on this didgeridoo and Ethan even showed us some amazing sounds this instrument can make.
Thankyou so much to Phoenix and Ethan for contributing to this years reconciliation week - now more than ever!

It's harvest time! Today, we picked lettuces, oregano, parsley, basil, and rosemary from our garden. Families were able to take home some fresh vegetables from our garden.

Let's get messy!

Messy play is great for kids' development! It's all about letting them explore different textures and materials, like mud, paint, or sand, in a sensory-rich environment. It encourages creativity, fine motor skills, and sensory processing. Plus, it's loads of fun!

Thanking Darryl from our local IGA for the generous donation of groceries to support Ascot Early Childhood Centre in Loganholme, which in turn supports Nightlight charity, is truly heartwarming. Your kindness and support are greatly appreciated, making a significant impact on our community.

Developing gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination through activities like stacking boxes is crucial for children's physical development. As they grasp, lift, and place each box, they're honing coordination, balance, and muscle strength. Plus, the stacking process teaches them spatial awareness and problem-solving skills, laying a foundation for more complex tasks later on. It's a fun and engaging way for them to learn and grow!

Engaging in an obstacle course is another fantastic way for children to develop their gross motor skills. Maneuvering through tunnels, climbing over obstacles, and balancing on beams all require coordination, strength, and agility. It's a dynamic and exciting way for kids to challenge themselves physically while improving their overall motor skills and confidence.

Today, our little ones in the nursery room were busy enhancing their gross motor skills! With each stride, they were strengthening essential abilities such as coordination, balance, and strength!

🌸 Don't forget our Mother's Day afternoon tea is happening tomorrow at 3.00pm 🍰 Join us for a lovely afternoon filled with sweet treats and heartfelt moments. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
