25.01.2022 During our visit to the base of Mount Ngungun Elise found some sticks to use as a musical instrument. We love seeing our little ones out and about and in the natural environment and we are looking forward to the many more adventures we will get to have. #NaturePlay #QCCS

24.01.2022 The Toddlers have been loving participating in music and movement lately, making their own musical shakers and then singing and dancing using them as props. Music and Movement helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression. For children and adults, music helps strengthen memory skills. #dancing #singing #childcare #earlychildhood #QCCS #glasshousemountains

23.01.2022 Today the Toddlers loved watching the glitter flow in the new sensory bottles that they helped make. They took turns to shake them up and then watched as the glitter inside the bottle swirled around. They also got very excited when they spotted the star shaped sequins inside one of them. There were lots of 'Ooohhhs' and 'Aaahhhs' from all our little friends

23.01.2022 Yum! Our menu from the Healthy Cooking Company for the week looks so delicious, doesn't it? #healthyeating #healthymeals #healthymind #QCCS

23.01.2022 Today the Junior Kindy children went on an excursion to the Glass House Mountains train station as they are very interested in learning about trains. When we first got to the station, we saw a goods train go past and then the station master came out to have a chat with us and said that when the next train was coming, so we coulde meet the train conductor. We were all very excited when the train was coming and it even tooted its horn as they came into the station for us. When it left the station we all waved goodbye. #TrainStation #QCCS

22.01.2022 Always Was, Always Will Be NAIDOC Week 2020 recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. The 2020 National NAIDOC Poster, Shape of Land, was designed by Tyrown Waigana, a Noongar and Saibai Islander man.... Tyrown’s artwork tells the story of how the Rainbow Serpent came out of the Dreamtime to create this land. It is represented by the snake and it forms the shape of Australia, which symbolises how it created our lands. The colour from the Rainbow Serpent is reflected on to the figure to display our connection to the Rainbow Serpent, thus our connection to country. The overlapping colours on the outside is the Dreamtime. The figure inside the shape of Australia is a representation of Indigenous Australians showing that this country - since the dawn of time - Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land. #QCCS #NAIDOC2020 #NAIDOCWeek #NAIDOC

20.01.2022 The Senior Kindy children are developing so much confidence in the pool. Some of the children are now swimming back to the edge of the pool on their own from several meters away. We are so proud of how well they are doing with their swimming skills. #LoveSwimming #QCCS

19.01.2022 QCCS will be closed on Monday 3rd May 2021 for #LabourDay. #StaySafe and have fun over the long weekend!

19.01.2022 At Glasshouse Early Education Centre, we believe in embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures every day, not just during NAIDOC week. Today, Kindergarten discussed the Torres Strait Islander flag and what each colour on the flag represents, The green panels at the top and the bottom of the flag symbolise the land, while the blue panel in the centre represents the waters of the Torres Strait. The thin black stripes between the green and blue panels signify the Torres Strait Islanders themselves. Then, we created our own flag, we used our handprints to symbolise that we are all coming together as one. #QCCS #childcare

16.01.2022 This morning, some of our kindergarten friends went on an excursion to Glasshouse Mountains State School for our Prep transition morning. We all walked down to the prep area, where we were greeted by Ms Clark, who will be one of our prep teachers next year. Inside the classroom, we started off with some dancing and a story, before we played a fishing game. We used a magnetic fishing rod to catch a fish, then we had to identify the picture on the back of the fish! Then, we... had the opportunity to create our own fish, before we had the chance to play out in the playground. We all had a great time exploring our big school! #transition #QCCS #childcare #bigschool

16.01.2022 The recipe for happy little humans - a pinch of adventure, a sprinkle of sunshine and a big handful of outdoor play! This is our little junior kindy friends exploring the traditional lands of the Kabi Kabi people - this is the base of Mt Ngungun in the beautiful Glasshouse Mountains. How very fortunate we are to learn and grow in such a special place. #BushKindy #QCCS

14.01.2022 The Kindy children have been really interested in Animals and Zoo's at the moment so we have set up lots of different learning experiences around this interest. One of the areas is a Zoo enclosure that Miss Chloe set up on the light board where the children can sort the animals into their groups like in a real zoo. The children have then extended their own learning from this making their own enclosures and houses for the animals using different resources in the room. Today Lake and Buster used the magnetic shapes to create different houses for the animals. #LoveLearning #QCCS

13.01.2022 Today the Vacation Care Room went on an excursion to the Glass House Nature Park. They used up lots of energy as they raced each other on their scooters. They also had a wonderful time trying out the different playground equipment which really challenged their climbing skills. At the end of the day they enjoyed exploring the natural resources and used them to make some very creative structures. Problem solving skills really came into effect as they worked together and individually. #natureplay #QCCS #earlylearning #childcare #bushkindy

13.01.2022 Toddler Bush Kindy Adventure Yesterday the Toddler children went on their 'Bush Kindy' adventure. They were all very excited getting into the big prams and making their way to the nature reserve down the road. There was lots of chatter along the way and pointing out all the different things they saw like the birds on the grass and up in the trees. The Toddlers had a great time exploring around the trees looking up to see how tall they were and also hiding behind the tru...nks to play peek-a-boo. We also had a play at the park where we challenged ourselves doing lots of climbing. #bushkindy #natureplay #toddlerfun #QCCS

12.01.2022 On Tuesday in Vacation Care the children helped out with some cooking experiences. We made some delicious fried rice (better than mums apparently but we won't tell her!), some muesli slice and yummy banana smoothies. #vacationcare #QCCS #childcare #earlylearning #cooking

11.01.2022 When we got to the base of Mount Ngungun today we sat and acknowledged the Gubbi Gubbi people who are the traditional owners of the land we were about to explore on. We are so lucky to have so much rich cultural history right in our centre's backyard. #BushKindy #QCCS

10.01.2022 Today Lisa from Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies visited with her quirky bag of goodies for our STEM day! The results were a mixed bag of classic scientific success stories and some fails along the way, although all in all it was messy, loud and loads of fun as the kindergarten and vacation care children and educators explored and experimented together! Glasshouse Early Education Centre is committed to encouraging innovation and learning acquisition throu...gh fun and out of the box experiences for all ages. #science #childcare #QCCS #STEM #earlylearning

10.01.2022 Today it was the Kindy children's turn for Bush Kindy. Everyone was super excited to go and see what adventures they could have. Everyone did really great crossing the little creek and then we arrived at a good spot to play where we could climb up one side of the tree and down the other side. Miss Nikole found a field of flowers that we walked through and, on the way, we found a fairy door so we had to be very quiet so we didn't scare them. We then went on a bear hunt through the forest and came back to the big tree to climb again. We also balanced on the logs and then listened to all the different sounds that we could hear. Some of the children even pretended to light a fire using just sticks. #LoveLearning #QCCS

10.01.2022 Today the Junior Kindy group went on an adventure to the base of Mount Ngungun. On our way we stopped to look at the view of Tibrogargan then we continued on. When we got to the Mount Ngungun we looked at the pictures of the different wildlife and then we got to get our and adventure and explore in the bushland. We found sticks and leaves and some really big trees. We all had a really amazing time and some of us were so worn out that we had a sleep in the pram on the walk back. #BushKindy #QCCS Nature Play is Important for the Cognitive Development of Early Learners. ... Nature play stimulates creativity and problem-solving skills integral to executive function development. Children who play and spend time in nature have increased concentration and cognitive skills.

08.01.2022 We are really enjoying our swimming lessons with Swim Fit Beerwah! Our confidence is growing with every visit, children who were not comfortable putting their face in water are putting their whole heads under water and blowing bubbles. Children who were afraid of the water, are not holding onto their instructors anymore. We cannot wait for Friday to arrive every week so we can jump on the bus and head to the pool #swimming #childcare #earlychildhoodeducation #kindergarten

08.01.2022 Why Swimming? At Glasshouse Early Education Centre we value our role of supporting children and families in their most important job in the world - raising amazing and capable little humans. As Queenslanders, most children are water babies and love to get into any water on a hot day! So one of the most valuable skills a child can learn in their first five years is the ability to swim confidently and learn correct water safety from qualified swim instructors. Whic...h is why we offer swimming lessons for our Kindergarten children, to reduce the added pressure of families trying to find time for lessons in their already hectic schedules. Not only is this a great support, but the children and teachers love it too! If you are interested in learning more about our engaging Government Approved Kindergarten program for 2021, please contact our Nominated Supervisor Dee for a tour. #swimming #kindergarten #QCCS #glasshouse #glasshousechildcare #earlylearning #qld #kindergartenactivities

04.01.2022 Today in the Senior Kindy room the children experimented with dissolving bath bombs. With their safety goggles on, they each took turns to drop a piece of bath bomb into the water and eagerly watch what happened. There were many 'oohs and ahhs from the children as the bath bombs began to fizz in the water. Science education activities provide children with opportunities to develop and practice many different skills and attributes. These include communication skills, collaborative skills, team working and perseverance, as well as analytical, reasoning and problem-solving skills. #NationalScienceWeek2020 #QCCS

We enjoyed identifying different foods and the food groups they belong in, reading a story about a Magic Lunchbox and then receiving our own magic lunchbox. #QCCS #lunchbox #healthylunchbox #healthyeating #healthyfood #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation

03.01.2022 Today the Senior Kindy children adventured off on their first #BushKindy. There was lots of excitement as we all got ready making sure we were prepared. When we got there, we followed Miss Alicia through the grass, over the log bridge and through the forest area until we found a great spot to explore and play. There was a tree to climb, logs to balance on and lots of sticks and leaves to play with. We are all very excited to visit again soon. #NaturePlay #QCCS

02.01.2022 On our first day of Vacation Care the children enjoyed exploring their artistic skills with some stone painting.

We used today to talk with the children about who are the people that help them to feel safe at home, school and other adults in their life that they feel make them feel safe as well as who they would talk to if they ever had a problem. The Kindergarten children practiced their writing skills with some of them writing the names on their Ditto's Helper Plan. The children also decorated white balloons that we will be adding to our di...splay in the foyer when they are completed. #whiteballoonday #earlylearning #ChildProtectionWeek #childcare #feelingsafe #SafetyForAll #unity #QCCS
