22.01.2022 Here’s an awesome way to help your kids understand why we need to wash our hands. I saw a video online of a teacher doing this with her class and thought I’d try it. Spreading knowledge, not germs! #covid_19 #corona #washyourhands

15.01.2022 Our Pre-School community is greatly saddened that due to the current pandemic situation upon us, we and many others, are unable to participate in this year’s ANZAC Day commemorations. In place of the many marches and ceremonies that will not be held, we are encouraged to ‘Light Up The Dawn’ by standing at the end of your driveway, on your balcony or in your living room at 6am on Saturday April 25th and commemorate those brave men and women who served, those who died and tho...se still serving. As a nation we are truly grateful for your sacrifice. To ensure there is a record of this historic day, the NSW State Library will be collecting images shared on social media and is encouraging people to post images including their driveway commemorations using the hashtags #NSWathome and #Anzacathome. Lest we forget.

14.01.2022 We still have some spots available for Santa Photos this Saturday the 23rd. Times ranging between 11:30am-11:45am and 12:00pm-1:00pm. On the 30th we have some spots from 12noon also. Please call the preschool to secure your place.

14.01.2022 Just a reminder that Preschool resumes for children on Tuesday 21st July.

11.01.2022 **STOP GIVING CHILDREN WORKSHEETS!** I am really struck by the variety of media inquiries I'm getting about the impacts of Covid-19 on education, what parents s...hould be doing at home, and so on. The interest doesn't surprise me (I am an education columnist on public radio), but the preoccupation with whether kids will "fall behind" or with how they will "catch up" has. I see hundreds of stories, websites, and youtube videos that aim to help parents create miniature classrooms at home. Maybe some parents have folding chairs they can bring up from the basement and put in rows. Where's that big blackboard we used to have? Is there a run on chalk at Costco? Stop worrying about the vague and evidence-less idea of children falling behind or catching up. This is a world-wide pause in life-as-usual. We’ve spent the last 25 years over-scheduling kids, over-testing kids, putting undue pressure on them to achieve more and more and play less and less. The result? Several generations of children and young adults who are stressed-out, medicated, alienated, and depressed. This is not a time for worksheets unless your child loves worksheets. This is an opportunity (for those of us lucky enough to be at home and not in hospitals or driving buses or keeping our grocery store shelves stocked) to spend meaningful time with our children to the extent it is possible in any given family. Parents shouldn’t be thinking about how to keep their kids caught up with the curriculum or about how they can recreate school at home or how many worksheets they should have their children complete. They should bake a cake together. Make soup. Grow something in the garden. Take up family music playing. And school personnel along with the media shouldn’t be focusing on how quickly or slowly children will return to school because none of us know. They should be focusing on ensuring that teachers are afforded the conditions they need to best support their students now when school is out and later when school is back in. Remember that ditty about the two Chinese brush-strokes that comprise the word ‘crisis'? One is the character for ‘danger’ and the other the character for ‘opportunity.’ We are more and more aware of the danger. But we're missing out on the opportunity: to spend time as families (in whatever form that family takes in your household). This brings me back to the questions I keep getting. What are my recommendations for what to do with your children at home when they are missing so much school? - Help your children structure their day - Help them process what is going on around them - Help them engage in activities that do not take place on a screen - Help them be creative - Give them -- to the extent possible in your household -- the gift of time and attention Most importantly: stop the homework, stop the worksheets, and stop trying to turn your kitchen into Jaime Escalante's A.P. math class. And when school (hopefully) returns next Fall, let's give teachers a great deal of latitude in what, how, and when to teach any particular subject matter. Their primary job should be to restore a sense of safety, nurture a sense of possibility, and rebuild the community lost through extended social isolation.

10.01.2022 Ways you can prepare your family amidst the coronavirus pandemic - Social distancing is PROVEN to help- but it needs to be done NOW to reduce viral spread (not self isolating later when we might be sick & spreading virus) - watch & Review the situation daily - Do a non-perishable shop (not panic buying - just enough to be ready)... - Consider what you need/what happens if you need to self isolate- and start cutting unnecessary things off the calendar - Show your kids the germ vs soap video. - Practice sneezing into elbows, not touching faces, washing hands thoroughly to the duration of happy birthday song & drying them. - Strict rule of hand washing on entering home so it remains a safe/green zone - Start considering what social distancing is- not shaking hands, standing further away. - Talk to elderly loved ones about implementing self isolation early and not becoming complacent, especially those who are immunocompromised or have chronic lung conditions. - This is a start. The situation will change quickly. See more
