18.01.2022 Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. Hellen Keller.

18.01.2022 Hands up who loves unicorns? Today is the launch of the Great Australian Storybook Collection and Thelma the Unicorn is the star! Head out to your local newsage...nt or IGA to grab your newspaper and free copy of the book, along with a free Collector Case to kick-start your collection! In the meantime, heres a little bit about Thelma... Thelma dreams of being a glamorous unicorn. Then in a rare pink and glitter-filled moment of fate (were sure its environmentally friendly glitter of course), Thelmas wish comes true. She rises to instant international stardom, but at an unexpected cost. Tip for families You can bring the story to life at home and encourage conversation about self-love by reading the book together and exploring with your child about what makes them special. Maybe they might want to draw pictures of the things they enjoy or are good at? For more info about the collection visit https://www.goodstart.org.au/storybook #KidsBookCollection

15.01.2022 Children fear the unknown...from the new food on their plate to the new person talking to them. Did you know you can settle most fears through communication and routines. Doing the same thing each morning helps to settle children into their day. We would love to know what your home routines look like before arriving at our centre!
