11.01.2022 The colder months are upon us, but that wont stop us from learning in our natural environments outside. When its cold, we rug up extra warm and head out anyway. There are too many benefits and too much fun to be had outside to miss out. Our commitment to the outdoor learning environment We believe that children learn great things when connecting with the world and nature. We endeavour to teach children the importance of respecting and caring for our world and creating su...stainable solutions in everyday life. Goodstart Cheltenham practices an indoor-outdoor program all year round and believe that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. We will foster childrens learning, especially in providing natural and sensory play by sustaining a safe and stimulating outdoor environment which caters to the individual needs of all ages.

10.01.2022 All the centres participating in Emmas Auslan lessons have been practicing signing the colours lately- we thought by putting this video together everyone could join in.. Can you sing a rainbow too?

09.01.2022 Wondering where our Auslan classes started? This video captures the inspiration behind it all.

05.01.2022 The National Reconciliation Week 2020 theme In This Together reinforces that we all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures. When we come together to build mutual respect and understanding, we shape a better future for all Australians. Reconciliation Week starts today and Goodstart Cheltenham are committed to our reconciliation journey.

05.01.2022 It is important for us to share our National Reconciliation Week celebrations with our families, especially considering this years theme: In this Together We want everyone to be able to have conversations at home about Australias history and about Aboriginal culture - what better way to start than with one of our most cherished activities - READING! ... We have filled our Community Library up with books by Aboriginal Authors and books which tell stories about Aboriginal people, Dreamtime Stories as well as books which celebrate the wonderful land, sky, sea, people and animals which we acknowledge each morning during our "Acknowledgement of Country". We hope our families use these books to start (if they havent already) conversations at home about Reconciliation Week, why it is important and what it means to them (and hopefully share it with the team here).

02.01.2022 Do you know Goodstart Cheltenham have three wonderful chickens? Our chickens are a big part of our program and the children spend a lot of time outside every day watching them, caring for them, collecting eggs as well as having a hand in feeding them. Having chickens provides so many benefits and allows children to observe and interact with an animal that they may not normally have experience with. Together with the children, we have researched and questioned the lifesty...le of chickens and explored them in different learning areas, including in our art studios, small world play and dramatic play experiences. It most importantly teaches children valuable lessons in loving, respecting and caring for their environment and world. See more
