10.01.2022 It’s all happening! Very exciting time for our local and surrounding communities

09.01.2022 Some recent research to encourage families to limit the amount of screen time for children. An understandably very challenging task during these present times and we need to be gentle on ourselves whilst still creating balance. From my personal experience as a mother of two young boys, audio books are a wonderful alternative and allow the child to use their imagination whilst listening and further developing their inner eye. They can be purchased or borrowed for 'free' on yo...ur local library app. Eg. Borrowbox. My eight year old son began this process at age five starting with the Enid Blyton classics. There are many audiobooks out there aimed at 3 year olds plus. Drawing pictures, painting, constructing with blocks, boxes and so on are some other ideas in creating this mental imagery. Good luck friends! One step at a time x https://nachrichten.idw-online.de//smartphone-tablet-tele/

Some inspiration below! Do you have any fallen down or dead trees that need clearing? We love to have them Also needing sand and ‘soft fall’ material such as mulch/wood chips as pictured.

03.01.2022 The Steiner education is designed to support children’s natural development and abilities. It’s for reasons like this (below) that the focus is on play based learning and creative imagination in early Steiner education

02.01.2022 What a beautiful day it was for our first Community Open Day! We planted our first of many trees together as a symbol of ‘new beginnings’ and learnt a little about Bio Dynamic farming! The children engaged in a story with our new teacher Isla as well as some crystal digging in our new sand pit, baking & wet felting with pure sheep’s wool. Even our local Mayor, Michael Kerr learnt some new skills! And it was lovely seeing our Deputy Mayor, Lisa Scomazzon there too! Isla gave ...a great overview of the curriculum for each year level providing some time for Q&A’s. The organic lemonade along with the massive bake sale using organic, plant based, locally made treats was also a huge success and we were able to raise money to put towards our playground Thank you to all who attended!! Thank you to our wonderful & supportive volunteers and amazing committee! Thank you to the Douglas Shire Council for their Micro Grant which made this day possible and to Jessie Goetze @Port Douglas Wedding Photography & Designer Portraiture Australia ! It was a magic day! #newbeginningsahead #steinereducation #steinereducationaustralia #portdouglasdaintree #holisticeducation #lifeskillsforkids #biodynamicfarming
