23.01.2022 MEET ELLIE... Ellie is Elephas Educations fun loving mascot who promotes the childrens sense of belonging. When children feel a sense of belonging they can be emotionally strong, self-assured, and able to deal with challenges and difficulties. This creates an important foundation for their learning and development. Our Assistant Centre Manager; Kelsey and the rest of Loganholme team of educators got to know Ellie this week during Induction & Orientation Week. Ellie spent ...time participating in Emergency Evacuation Drills and learning about the unique team culture at Elephas Education. She is super excited to meet all her new little friends attending our Loganholme campus very soon. All Elephas children will have an opportunity to get to know Ellie in the coming months, as she loves to attend special events and looks forward to celebrating each childs birthday in a very unique way.

22.01.2022 The safety and well-being of our families, children, staff and wider community are at the heart of all we do and as such, we would like to provide you with an update on how the latest announcement of the three-day lockdown restrictions may impact the operation of Elephas Education centres. As announced by the Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, the Greater Brisbane area, affecting Brisbane City, Logan City, Moreton Bay Regional and Redland City will enter a three-day lo...ckdown from 5pm today; Monday 29th March 2021. All residents in those areas are being asked to stay at home unless it is for essential work, providing healthcare for a vulnerable person, essential shopping or to exercise in your local neighbourhood. In addition, people will be required to wear a mask at all times while outside their home, however children under the age of 12 are exempt. Early learning services are considered an essential service and may remain open however families are advised to stay home unless they are performing essential work and as always if anyone is feeling unwell, stay home and get tested. Our Management Team will be in contact today with all families booked for a session this week to discuss their care needs during this lockdown period. This decision was made in a bid to stop the spread of the highly-infectious United Kingdom strain of the COVID-19 virus. We will provide further advice as it becomes available, however until then stay safe.

To see the childrens faces light up when it all clicks into place and then watch them take what they have learnt and put it into a new context honestly warms my heart.

19.01.2022 So many incredible outdoor areas for children to explore When children are outside they have the freedom for big movements like running, jumping, kicking and throwing and these movements are good for their health, fitness and physical development. We make time for all children to get outside and explore the natural environment, have adventures and test their physical limits.

18.01.2022 Our purpose-built learning environments are designed to give children agency over their own learning. Supporting childrens agency means they can make their own decisions and this is key to developing a strong sense of identity. We give children as many opportunities to control their day and make meaningful decisions and choices about the things that affect them. We would love to welcome you and your child to the tribe https://elephaseducation.com.au/

17.01.2022 Whilst our Elephas Education Loganholme centre is awaiting its opening date, our educators have been researching the surrounding land and identifying their responsibilities within the community in terms of reconciliation and how they can positively educate future generations. The team were welcomed by Vanessa and Natasha from the Dandiiri - Inala School and Community Library. Vanessa and Natasha answered questions our educators had surrounding Indigenous perspectives and how they can embed these perspectives and practises into their teaching.

17.01.2022 What is your childs favourite song to sing or play? Music ignites all areas of a childs development and it helps the body and the mind to work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words, strengthens their memory skills and most importantly, brings so much joy

16.01.2022 The National Quality Standard (NQS) sets a high national benchmark for early childhood education and care and outside school hours services in Australia. Our service is dedicated to exceeding the standards across each of the seven quality areas

15.01.2022 Childhood is a time of magicwhere a playground becomes a pirate ship, or a blanket becomes a superhero cape When children use their imagination, they are developing crucial psychological and emotional capacities, that help them understand the world, learn to solve problems, create new possibilities and even change the world.

15.01.2022 What is this young potter creating? Children show many parts of themselves through clay experiences such as initiative, curiosity and problem solving. For young children, clay holds no preconceived ideas to what it is or how its supposed to be its just a natural material that can be manipulated into anything!

13.01.2022 When children learn about sand therapy, they also become better at understanding their own emotions, feelings and overall awareness of their bodies. This helps with communication skills, emotional intelligence and mindfulness which are important skills to have throughout their lives. We hope to see children utilising this space to achieve feelings of comfort and security.

13.01.2022 WEEKEND WORDS OF WISDOM Alex Smith - Writer, Researcher and Founder of the award-winning blog, PlayGroundology. RISK & PLAY... Children both need and want to take risks in order to explore their limits, venture into new experiences and for their development. Of course any injury is distressing for children and those who care for them, but the experience of minor scrapes, bangs or bruises are a universal part of childhood that have a positive role in child development. Children need opportunities to develop skills in negotiating the environment (including risks), learn how to use equipment safely and for its designed purpose, develop coordination and orientation skills and learn about the consequences (positive & negative) of risk taking. Our playgrounds will provide many opportunities for managed risk which is engaging, developmentally appropriate and beneficial for children of all ages. You can read more from Alex on his blog here: https://playgroundology.wordpress.com

10.01.2022 Creativity, imagination, language, communication, social skills, teamwork, planning, organisation and real life skills are just some of the incredible benefits children can get from play kitchens.

08.01.2022 So many fantastic outdoor spaces for children to engage in intentional and play based learning

08.01.2022 Learning happens in a child’s own time. This means that every child is on a unique journey and it is an educator’s role to facilitate this journey. Let us guide your child on their learning journey. Enquire now https://elephaseducation.com.au/contact/

08.01.2022 Our educators draw from several key educational philosophers and their methods and research to create environments and programs that allow children to learn positively and progressively. In particular, our educators use elements of Lev Vygotskys philosophy to create learning and development opportunities. Social environments have a large influence on how children think and what they think about, and Vygotsky promotes this idea that rich environments provide more tools for the child in the Zone of Proximal Development. At Elephas Education, we have created environments that ensures each child receives guidance and encouragement from our educators and other children and therefore work towards mastering learning on their own.

It also calls us in Australia to consider those conditions in society which affect the lives and... future of our own children. We were all children once. And we all share the desire for the well-being of our children, which has always been and will continue to be the most universally cherished aspiration of humankind.
