25.01.2022 Preschool becomes like a second home; we quickly develop a feeling of belonging here. We work together on shared interests and goals and take genuine pleasure in each others’ company #clunesnsw #nswpreschools #learningforlife #outdoorplay #learningthroughplay

23.01.2022 Cooking with produce from our preschool garden and eggs from our chooks. Okonomiyaki it is! #learningforlife #growingourownfood #capableandstrong #nswpreschools #healthykidsfood #preschoolcooking #hellovegetables

23.01.2022 It’s a beautiful day in Clunes today! Theres a gentle breeze and the birds are singing. Who’s coming to play? #nswpreschools #learningforlife #natureplay #activeplay #northernriversnsw #clunesnsw

23.01.2022 Thanks to all of our preschool families for your kind words, generous gifts, and good wishes as we end 2020. We feel so lucky to work in a community that values children and the work of caring for and educating them. Best wishes to you all from the staff at Clunes Preschool

22.01.2022 So happy with our completed bathroom renovations. Thanks to all the helpful tradies for working around our limited timeframes and site access! Having a well-designed bathroom allows children to be both private and social as they learn new skills, gives them a sense of agency and belonging, and supports them as they become more independent in their own self care #environmentasthirdteacher #eylf #learningforlife #beautifulspacesforchildren #bathroomdesign #earlychildhoodarchitecture #clunesnsw

21.01.2022 Thanks everyone for a great term, despite the COVID challenges. Here’s a little snapshot of some of us learning new skills, becoming braver and more persistent, and celebrating our achievements and those of others. We will be back on the 12th October! #clunesnsw #learningforlife #capableandstrong

21.01.2022 It’s getting warmer - the perfect time for a little birdwatching! On Bundjalung Country it’s the season of the heath flowers, magpies, and fairy wrens. We’re keeping our eyes peeled! #clunesnsw #nswpreschools #learningforlife #australianbirds #naturelearning #connectedtocountry #bundjalungcountry #northernriversnsw

20.01.2022 It’s getting warmer - do you know what that means? Mulberry season! We’re so lucky to have fresh mulberries to enjoy all through September and October #northernriversnsw #clunesnsw #healthykids #connectingwithnature

20.01.2022 Sound on When children have positive relationships with their teachers and each other, they challenge themselves, encourage others, and celebrate their achievements together #clunesnsw #clunespreschool #nswpreschools #learningforlife #capablekids #earlychildhoodeducator #communityoflearners

18.01.2022 Bangalow Fair Trade have always been such great supporters of our preschool. We can’t have our usual Fair Trade stall at preschool this year, but you can still get your Fair Trade goodies this Saturday in Bangalow #fairtrade #bangalownsw #supportingeachother #northernrivernsw #byronhinterland

14.01.2022 Sound on Harley asks: How can Jim do that? When children have positive relationships with their teachers and each other, they challenge themselves, encourage others, and celebrate their achievements together #clunesnsw #clunespreschool #nswpreschools #learningforlife #capablekids #earlychildhoodeducator #communityoflearners

12.01.2022 A question leads kids to solve problems on their own. This builds the brain and strengthens the connections required to complete tasks and pay attention. When w...e use our brains we make them more efficient. Instead of: "Put on your shoes, we have to leave." Try: "It's almost time for school. I see your socks are on. What's next?" Inspired by Lori Petro @TEACH through Love #neurochild #askquestions #problemsolving

11.01.2022 The children and teachers take time to reflect together on what we’ve achieved, how we’ve learned new skills, and the value of persistence. Drawing is a great way for us to look back on our learning and share our achievements with others #clunesnsw #clunespreschool #learningforlife #nswpreschools #preschoolteachers #thinkingaboutthinking #metacognitionforkids #dispositionsforlearning #eylf

11.01.2022 This week we have been using our hands to explore, encounter and come to know clay #environmentasthirdteacher #clay #bundjalungcountry #clunesnsw #learningthroughplay

10.01.2022 Sunny Mondays in Clunes are perfect for some active play - with a little bit of spontaneous writing practice on the side! #clunespreschool #learningforlife #healthyandstrong #makingconnections #earlyliteracy

10.01.2022 Every day we’ve watched our caterpillars eating and turning into chrysalis, and then finally, we have butterflies! The children use all different media to record what they’ve noticed and to share their thinking #hundredlanguages #reggioinspired #connectingwithnature #childrenasresearchers #confidentandinvolvedlearners #nswpreschools #learningforlife

09.01.2022 Do you talk with your child about fairness, equality and diversity? Some great suggestions here from Playschool for parents and educators of young children.

08.01.2022 Some delicious and healthy lunch inspiration here:

07.01.2022 Some good news for families today. We will be in touch once we have received details of this latest extension.

06.01.2022 We are capable and strong! Using the Ninja line at preschool allows children to build strength, agility and confidence. More importantly, as they try and try again, they learn about the value of persisting at things that are hard and get to experience the satisfaction of learning a new skill #clunesnsw #clunespreschool #learningforlife #activeplay #capablelearners #riskyplay

05.01.2022 Lots of fun today making apple slinkies, learning about simple machines, and enjoying a snack! #learningforlife #nswpreschools #munchandmove #healthynorthcoast #stemearlychildhood #eylf

05.01.2022 We’re taking enrolments! Clunes Preschool still has just a handful of vacancies to start Term 1 2021. Contact us at [email protected] to find out more #clunesnsw #clunespreschool #learningforlife #nswpreschools #northernriversnsw

05.01.2022 It’s Child Protection Week. As a child safe organisation, we are committed to keeping every child safe from harm. This week, we’re learning about the new Child Safe standards https://www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au///child-safe-standards #clunesnsw #everychildmatters #childprotectionweek2020 #ncpw20 #playyourpart

04.01.2022 Thanks everyone who joined us at this week’s farewell celebrations. We finished the year with a flood and a party! #clunespreschool2020 #northernriversnsw #clunesnsw #clunesartists #nswpreschools #seeyouin2021 #learningforlife #ittakesavillage #earlychildhoodar

04.01.2022 Well, we already knew this, but it’s nice to have the research to back it up! New report shows not-for-profit services provide higher quality education and care Read the report here:... http://ausccs.org.au//TICCS-2019-National-report-v5-271120 See more

03.01.2022 Every child lives someplace. And that someplace begins to matter when children are invited to know where they are and to participate in the unfolding of life in that place - coming to know the changes in the light and in the feel of the air... this is what it means to grow an ecological identity. Ann Pelo, The Goodness of Rain #clunesnsw #learningforlife #learningthroughplay #natureculture #northernriversnsw #nswpreschools

02.01.2022 Last day party and art show at Clunes Preschool for our Friday group. Farewell to Mabel, Ethan and Clara #learningforlife #clunespreschool2020 #communitiesforchildren #ittakesavillage

02.01.2022 Today we worked with clay. Clay work is both messy and calming, sensory and intellectual, and also gives children another ‘language’ for self expression. Thanks to @inspiredec for the inspirational words #clunespreschool #clunesnsw #northernriversnsw #learningforlife #earlychildhoodteacher #inspiredec #learningforlife #artseducationmatters

01.01.2022 Searching for water dragons... how lucky we are to live and learn in a place that is full of nature and possibilities for exploration #clunesnsw #northernriversnsw #preschoolsnsw #learningforlife #natureplay #imaginativeplay #bundjalungcountry #ecologicalidentity #springiscoming @ Clunes Preschool

01.01.2022 These fluffy visitors at preschool today raised lots of interesting questions such as Are they boys or girls? and Do chickens have ears? #nswpreschools #learningforlife #everydaylearning

01.01.2022 We rarely talk about what rights children have. I think, fundamentally, it (preschool education) should be seen as a right of every child regardless of where they are and what they do. Pasi Sahlberg Professor of Education Policy, UNSW At the SMH Schools Summit... Yes, Pasi Sahlberg, we do agree!
