25.01.2022 GALAXY PLAY-DOUGH ! We all know that play dough is enjoyable and popular with children, while teaching children endless skills. The malleable properties of play dough make it fun for investigation and exploration as well as secretly building up strength in all the tiny hand muscles and tendons, making them ready for pencil and scissor control for later on. #children#learning#fun#playdough#new#galaxy#space#planets#exciting#education#touching#smelling#sensory#rolling#moulding#children#kids#childcare#development#happy#love#passion

23.01.2022 Most children will be naturally interested in their surrounding environment; however there are some ways you can encourage interest and curiosity. This week we chose to grow various beans and seeds. Encouraging the children to play an active role with caring and documenting the growth. Gaining knowledge and understanding about the role they play within their environment, responsibility, cooperation and love for nature. What a fantastic educational experience! #children #love #planting #seeds #beans #educating #teachers #passion #watering# #sensory #stepprocess #kids #activelearning #skills #challenges #knowledge #indoorplay #learningthroughplay #milestones #growth #development #school #childcare #occasionalcare #families #community #support #environment #independence

19.01.2022 Sensory experiences, such as Play Dough provide children the opportunity to develop their senses, social and emotional developmental skills. Lemons aid children to regulate their moods with positive vibes. Sensory play builds nerve connections in the brains pathways which lead to the childs ability to complete more complex learning tasks. This is why today we have chosen to collaborate Lemons and Play Dough together to great a new, exciting and natural learning experience. #lemonplaydough#kidsfun#learning@education#intentionalteaching#exploring#investigating#love#development#pedadgogies#bondikids#community#natural#flowers#seasons

18.01.2022 Colour is a significant facet in each individuals life whether it is acknowledged or not. It holds the ability to inspire, excite, remind or link/relate to something meaningful in each of our lives. Exploring complexion of how colour is made up is both educational and fun simultaneously. Exploring the mixture of individual colours to evolve into a new colour is highly interesting, in particular to young children that thrive of imagination, creativity and exploration. #childcare#education#activelearning#fun#summer#exploring

17.01.2022 We are testing opening until 530pm Tuesday- Friday :) Will this help your family? let us know!!

17.01.2022 Each year one in seven Australians will experience symptoms of depression. Antidepressant medication is often used to treat the condition. However, research shows that exercise can be as effective as medication in people with mild to moderate depression. Chose an activity you like and can sustain over time. Start with five minutes a day and gradually increase to ten or twenty minutes. Studies suggest that exercising will benefit your mood within a few weeks!

16.01.2022 The only thanks we need is seeing a client flourish <3 #BondiBeachCottage #healing #mentalhealth #empowerment #womenswellbeing

14.01.2022 Thank you Woollahra Council! Our next round of Circle of Security parenting courses will be a fantastic success because of your support!

14.01.2022 Today a lovely educator run a "Painting with Balloons" creative activity! The experience allowed our children to really express their creativity and strengthen their fine motor skills while getting messy in this open-ended activity. Experiences such as these allow children to experiment and investigate with various sizes and textures to create their own masterpieces. Here at the cottage we focus on the experience rather than the finished piece! What a great day! #education #creative #imagination #openended #freedom #passion #love #growth #development #balloons #party #investigation #experimentation #teachers #educators #children #development #colours #paint #blending #colurwheel

11.01.2022 We are so excited to be getting a mini renovation this weekend! here is a cheeky before pic, stay tuned for the reveal!

09.01.2022 While majority of us associate cinnamon with warm fuzzy feelings, cinnamon is actually a stimulant and anti-depressant, with the ability to sooth headaches, aches and pains. If your little one is feeling sluggish, our cinnamon play dough is another great pick me up activity! Just being in the moment of kneading, moulding and shaping can be very relaxing and allows children to stay calm and relaxed! #childcare#playdough#sensory#exploration#education#learning#kids@Cinnamon#happy#kids#roll

09.01.2022 Have you seen our big backyard? So much fun for the kids!

08.01.2022 Here are some of our Valentine's Day craft activities. There's been a lot of pink, a lot of glitter, and a LOT of LOVE! Last week, the children had fun creating hearts which stated everything that they love! The younger toddlers decorated theirs with a glitter handprint! Here is a picture of our Valentine's display. Today, the children had a lot of fun with Satomi, making cards for Mummy and Daddy. Here are some photos of their beautiful work! Both activities exercised fine motor skills, along with the discussing of colours, textures, shapes, and feelings. Have a great week and keep checking our page for regular posts!

07.01.2022 The renovation is finally complete!!! We are very proud to present the 'reveal' :)

07.01.2022 Do you know you're able to claim the CCS (Child Care Subsidy) at the Cottage? If you are eligible, CCS is available for Occasional and Permanent care!

07.01.2022 We would like to welcome our three new additions to the Bondi Beach cottage family, Spotty, Ice cream and Spider-Man. For kids, caring for an aquarium can be a very rewarding experience. Fish tanks allow a child to experience a little piece of nature. The glass of the tank is like a window to another world, a peek beneath the surface of a lake or stream. #fish#family#belonging#being #becoming#responsibilities#children#fun#nurture#caring#love#icecream#spotty#spiderman#friends#coral#seacreatures#feeding

07.01.2022 At Bondi Beach Cottage we believe the best way for children to learn is to explore their surroundings and experiment with a variety of materials and resources as they please. We support our children's holistic growth by allowing them to participate in activities which interest them. A child's learning path is all about the process, rather than the finale product. We want to encourage our community of families to allow children the opportunity to investigate and engage themselves in sensory play, even if it's means it's going to get messy! #childcare #sensoryplay #childactivities #sensoryexploration #educationalactivities #earlychildcare #holisticgrowth #messyplay #childrenexperiences #bondibeachcottage #BBC #learning #teaching #EYLF #community #bondi #bondibeach #programming

06.01.2022 NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee NAIDOC Week is celebrated in recognition of culture, history and achievements. NAIDOC week is a great time for Australians of all different ethnic backgrounds to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This week we decided to focus on "The echidna and the shade tree" learning more about the story behind the book, the use of colours and images, using play dough and various materials. #NAIDOC#culture#children#playdough#resources#creative#IMANINGATIVE#Nature#understanding#australia#aboriginals#islandersday#children#fun#kids#learning#education#educators#professionals#documentation#purposefullearning#love#laugh#live#joy

06.01.2022 Today we decided to spice up our play-dough table using both natural and processed materials. At the cottage we love to change up our activities so we add different colouring and natural fragrances to our homemade dough. Our kids were eager to engage in this sensory activity-pushing the leaves and plastic insects into the dough- which made fabulous 'Fossil' imprints. Using fingers to manipulate the dough is such a fun way to improve our children's fine motor skills and this a...ctivity proved a hit with our pre-schoolers. The activity then extended as one child decided to make "Wombat Stew" (A firm book favourite here!) which was such a wonderful imaginary play for all the children to join in with as they 'stirred' leaves, insects and mud into the pot! #organic #nature #finemotorskills #creativity #imagination #playdough #sensory #wombatstew #inclusion #messyplay See more

05.01.2022 Art is given primary importance because it seen as one of the simplest 'languages' which a child can communicate their ideas and thoughts processes. Art materials are freely accessible for children to explore various combinations, creating amazing unique artworks. For our painting session today we decided to combined dirt into paint for free exploration and see what interesting effects each child would have on the texture created. The children had a blast investigating the new experiences, communicating new ideas to attempt in the following weeks. #sensoryexploration#fun#education#purposfulplay#investigation#love#passion#teachers#learning#skills#development#dirt#natural#messyplay#resources#activeinvolvement#groups#socail#kids#children#indoorplay#creative#imagination
