25.01.2022 Listen up! Have you heard the listen area in our sensory garden?! We have 5 amazing musical stations for the children to explore and enjoy: Nut and seedpod shakers... Drum cymbal Wooden gong Cowbell windchimes Traditional indigenous clapping sticks, custom painted for us by local indigenous artist Michael Connolly Lots of fun, and noise, to be had! A loud thank-you to parents Tim and Neena for their time, skill, and commitment to making the Listen area all that it is. And thanks also to Vuly for its generous sponsorship of the Listen area. Vuly is recognised world over for setting the benchmark in trampoline and swing sets. So with Christmas (and the looong school holidays) approaching, if you’re looking for gifts or hours of entertainment and exercise, be sure to keep Vuly in mind! Check out their range at www.vulyplay.com, and mention CGKindy when ordering.

13.01.2022 Over the years the Kindy has been supported by many of our local businesses who have donated to our various fundraisers and raffles. These businesses are doing it tough right now and we encourage everyone to shop and buy local. Order takeaway dinner from a local restaurant, grab a takeaway coffee from the local cafe and shop from our local stores. With everyones continued support they will get through this tough time.

12.01.2022 Looking for recommendations. We are looking to build a 600mm high garden wall in the kindy front yard. Approximate length of the wall is 13 metres. We are hoping to create a garden edge similar to the photos. Does anyone have any recommendations of companies they have used to create something like this ? Is there anyone on this page interested in quoting for the job ? Any advice would be fantastic. Thanks

10.01.2022 Bon Appetite! Our Taste gardens are now planted Today farmers Matt and Micah from Neighbourhood Farm visited the Kindy and helped us plant lots of yummy seedlings in our garden beds....

A HUGE thank you to Neighbourhood Farm for their time, effort and seedlings. Check out their produce stall each Friday at Oxley - a wonderful experience, and a chance to buy local.
