21.01.2022 Did you know its Men's Health Week this week? I'm sure we all have a man/men in our lives who doesn't like going to the doctors or will just say, "she'll be right" and there is the assumption that Men should be tough and strong all the time, but this week its ALL about Men and their health. Take the time this week to check in with your Dads, Grandad's, Brothers, Uncles and Sons to see how they are doing. Its ok to not be ok and there are lots of help out there for Men.

21.01.2022 Building social skills in our Nursery Socialisation starts from the very beginning, and its always lovely to see the children forging their own friendships through play. Playing together not only teaches the children social skills, but they also learn so much from each other by watching and copying.

21.01.2022 R U OK? These 3 little words can change a persons day. Today is all about raising awareness about the importance of taking notice of those around you, at work, home, socially and asking R U OK? to someone who you think may not be feeling themselves. Lending a caring ear can make a huge difference to someones day.

21.01.2022 Transitions When children are ready to move up to the next age room, they have a number of transition visits before the official move up. This is to allow them to explore their new environments, spend some time with the new educators and friends so its all familiar when the time comes. The children enjoy being able to have these transition visits with their new friends.

20.01.2022 Show and Tell Our Kindergarten children were able to learn all about Mr J's favourite dinosaur book when he shared it with them during show and tell. It allowed Mr J to practice speaking in front of a group, use his language skills to explain his favourite parts of the book and allowed his audience to practice their listening skills. What a roooaarsome show and tell

18.01.2022 Last week was Thank you Week for all Goodstart Centres and employees. To show the appreciation to Centre Directors, Assistant Directors, Educators and Support staff for all their hard work and commitment during the Covid period, each day last week a new Thank you was announced. One of them was a much deserved day off to all staff who worked through those trying times. Just another way that Goodstart gives back!

14.01.2022 Developmental Milestones Its exciting to see our children reach those development milestones as they grow. Children learn in all kinds of ways, one of which is by watching their peers.

The children and families celebrations are also ours and we get so excited to see the children learn new things.
