24.01.2022 Today the children and educators at Frankston South celebrated "International day of dance". One of our amazing families set up a full DJ dance party, lights, bubble machine and glow sticks included. The children shimmied, stomped, breakdanced, rocked and rolled their morning away.( not to mention the educators who busted a move). Dance is a language common to all, it's inclusive and something we call all share no matter our beliefs, cultures and languages.

24.01.2022 Relationships are the very heart of the Reggio Emilia philosophy. This approach is reflected in environments that encircle the childs three teachers - the parent, the classroom teacher and the environment. Here you see our classroom teachers assuming the role of researcher and intentionally engaging in meaningful work and conversation. #teachers #earlychildhoodeducator #reggioemiliainspired #children #learningthroughplay #intentionalteaching #firstearlylearning

20.01.2022 With the children at FiRST Hastings about to embark on their first Bush Kinder excursion, we were lucky enough today to have some special guests come in to show us some of Australias native animals and how to be safe when we see them in the wild. The children enjoyed exploring the differences between feathered, fury and scaly creatures, whilst getting hands on with turtles, owls, lizards, pythons and crocodiles! We learnt how to be safe and what to do when we see any of thes...e amazing animals out in the wild, as well as learning where they normally live and what they like to eat! By respecting and understanding snakes a bit better, we can keep our children safe when we head out in the bush for our exciting adventures to come!
