25.01.2022 Another day, another physical challenge to conquer!

25.01.2022 Being without the right to make decisions in their life such as where they live, who they visit and where they spend time harms children and young people. Queensland Child Protection Week #qldchildprotectionweek

25.01.2022 Last night our team was recognised at the virtual QLD Goodie Awards, picking up the state Goodie for Innovation. This year, we have successfully applied for grants at a local level, state level and federal level, accessing funding to support projects which will directly benefit our Red Hill community, specifically in the areas of reconciliation and child protection. Today, we feel joy

24.01.2022 Next week is Child Protection Week, and we have been busy working with our sign writing committee creating some important messages, like this one: Children have the right to feel safe.... #qldchildprotectionweek Queensland Child Protection Week

24.01.2022 Understanding why people harm children and young people is essential in helping to prevent child abuse. The majority of people who harm children are parents or care givers and do so emotionally, physically or by neglect. The intent is not necessarily to harm children as often stress factors mean that persons take out their stress on children through either neglect or through verbal or physical means. This is not acceptable behaviour but it can be changed with assistance from ...professionals with the support of others within the family and community. With assistance these forms of abuse can be eradicated, parents and care providers taught new skills and children can be supported to live safely with their families or care givers.

23.01.2022 Loose parts are great for creating obstacle course challenges...... gotta keep those little bodies moving!

23.01.2022 Up, up and away! Conincidentally, our drone pilot also contributed code to the drone that flew on Mars on the same day he launched over kindy. NASA, here we come!

22.01.2022 Those Fri-yay feels

21.01.2022 A huge shout out to my Red Hill team today, for Early Childhood Educators Day. I really love leading a team of early childhood professionals who are so passionate, inspired..... and compassionate. 2020 has been a year like no other, stretching all of us in our professional and personal lives, and weve stuck together, supported each other, and found joy every day in the work we care so deeply about. Thank you for everything that you do and bring to our Red Hill community... i...t is appreciated. Our children have been busy helping with a secret squirrel project, creating portraits for each of our team. To all the other wonderful Early Childhood professionals out there, we hope that you felt appreciated today as well.... you deserve it! #earlychildhoodeducatorsday

21.01.2022 Being physically, verbally, sexually or emotionally abused harms children and young people. We love this quote from Everybody has a bottom, which is a great resource we use to teach children about their bodies, and consent.

20.01.2022 A rainbow, with words of affirmation. Welcome to Red Hill! #EarlyLearningMattersWeek

20.01.2022 If you’ve had a donk, we highly recommend this emergency room. They get 10/10 for kind, caring and attentive service.

19.01.2022 TBT: That time we won a Goodie award for embedding a culture of healthy risk. We are proud to say that culture is still going strong, and has become an important part of our philosophy.

19.01.2022 Did you know May Gibbs did an illustration for a public health poster in 1919, in response to the Spanish Flu pandemic? Our thoughts are with those of you working in services down in Victoria (or anywhere in the world), where masks have become a necessity. We are sending you lots of love, and hope you are doing okay. https://www.naa.gov.au//may-gibbs-illustrations-public-hea

19.01.2022 A huge thanks to Deb for visiting and sharing your beautiful energy with us today. We enjoyed drinking tea, having a yarn, and moving our bodies. Namaste CONNECTING 2 CULTURE

19.01.2022 We have decided to give a friendship bench a go, supporting children’s connections and emotional well-being

18.01.2022 "Because the child at play is not worrying about his or her future, and because the child at play suffers no real-world consequence for failing, the child at play is not afraid of failure." Peter Gray #ThisWeekAtRedHill

18.01.2022 Our Child Protection Week advocacy project is underway! The children have been painting the backgrounds onto some corflute boards. In the coming days we will have them paint words on top, sharing important messages for our community. #qldchildprotectionweek Queensland Child Protection Week

17.01.2022 Tomorrow marks the start of Child Protection Week, and we have been busy creating signs for our local community to share some important messages. Mean or cruel words harm children and young people. Cruel comments, name calling or yelling at children can hurt them and make them feel unimportant and unlovable. Sticks and Stones comments of days gone by have long been disproven and it is clear that calling children names, even in jest is harmful. Yelling, name calling or makin...g cruel comments about children or any part of them is harmful. If you are a trusted person in a childs life it is most likely that they will believe what you are saying. Queensland Child Protection Week #qldchildprotectionweek #ncpw #ncpw20 #playyourpart

17.01.2022 This week is photo week here at Red Hill. We have chosen to use our Rachael Sarra mural as the backdrop for the children’s portraits, as a token of our commitment to our reconciliation journey. It is our hope that by the time children leave our service, they can proudly acknowledge the Turrbal people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we play and learn

17.01.2022 We're Goodstart. We're for joy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qPdBnjquss

17.01.2022 A good news story! The kind folk at Bula Vinaka Cafe noticed our missing posters around the neighborhood - and found the signs and returned them to us! We are eternally grateful to our new local heroes

16.01.2022 "Education is not a linear process of preparation for the future: it is about cultivating the talents and sensibilities through which we can live our best lives in the present and create the future for ourselves." Sir Ken Robinson #ThisWeekAtRedHill

15.01.2022 "Children are like tiny flowers: They are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers" Friedrich Frobel #ThisWeekAtRedHill

15.01.2022 We were recently successful in obtaining a grant for Child Protection Week. So, this week we have been to Bunnings Warehouse Australia to collect supplies for our advocacy project. In the coming weeks, we will be working to collect the childrens ideas about child protection, and creating signs to share their voice in our local community.

14.01.2022 Our children embrace a philosophy of loose parts. To them, everything is a loose part. Who are we to spoil the fun? Adventure playgrounds of New York, meet the adventure playground of Red Hill!

13.01.2022 Sportscasting 101: our team are huge advocates for this supportive practice.

12.01.2022 In sad news, our Child Protection Week posters have gone missing. We’ve now made some missing posters for the missing posters, and are sharing them with our local community in the hope that they will be found and returned. Cross your fingers for us

12.01.2022 We had a little necessary garden maintenance over the weekend..... and we now have an unobstructed view of our beautiful Rachael Sarra original. We love the conversations this art triggers.

12.01.2022 Being ignored, going hungry and feeling and/or being treated as invisible harms children and young people. Queensland Child Protection Week #qldchildprotectionweek #ncpw #ncpw20 #playyourpart

12.01.2022 Rough and tumble play is beneficial for many reasons. And it’s fun. Our team have been critically reflecting on this recently, and putting some intentional plans in place to support it.

11.01.2022 What do you think when observing this evidence of play?

11.01.2022 Be this proud this weekend....

10.01.2022 Today we sat down with Jackie from CONNECTING 2 CULTURE for a cup of tea. Our team are very excited about the mentoring, learning and growing ahead of us.

09.01.2022 Our Toddler environment has had a shuffle. Here’s a little virtual tour.

08.01.2022 Listening to children and young people is the number 1 indicator in assisting their safety and well-being. Children speaking out about their abuse are often disbelieved or ignored. Parents, professionals and community members all need to hear what children say and seek advice in ensuring they respond appropriately to children when they speak out about abuse. Research shows that children often communicate signs of abuse by statements such as: regularly complaining of ailments ...such as tummy aches and headaches with no other causation. For further warning signs CLICK here: https://www.helpguide.org//ab/child-abuse-and-neglect.htm When feeling concerned adults and/or children need to speak out and seek assistance. Trust yourself. Anything that doesnt feel right (such as gut feelings) needs to be paid attention to. Given that research shows that adults often dont hear what children say, for children that means that they may need to tell up to 6 adults before someone hears them about their abuse (ACF 2010). Research also demonstrates that after telling one adult who does not listen children and young people most commonly shut down and stop speaking. Adults need to pay attention to children who speak out about abuse. Most children stay silent because the abuser has insisted they do so. This is a major part of grooming and ensuring they as the perpetrator remain safe from detection or prosecution. Queensland Child Protection Week #qldchildprotectionweek #ncpw #ncpw20 #playyourpart

08.01.2022 We hope that your weekend is as smooth and joyful as this.... *sound on*

07.01.2022 The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered. Jean Piaget #ThisWeekAtRedHill

07.01.2022 Cardboard creations. It doesn’t need to cost a lot of money to engage little fingers and little minds. We use cardboard boxes from our food deliveries to create all sorts of magical games. This one is ready to paint!

07.01.2022 We love that you love them. Have a grand long weekend

07.01.2022 Wishing all a healthy weekend

06.01.2022 Ohhh, we wish you lots of relaxing nothing time this weekend

06.01.2022 Caring for children and keeping them safe is a shared responsibility Government, non-government partners and communities are working together to build a child and family support system where Queensland children and young people are cared for, protected, safe and able to reach their full potential. The vision of the child and family reform agenda is that Queensland families and communities are empowered to become stronger, more capable, more resilient and are supported by a ch...ild and family support system that understands and respects the importance of family, community, and culture.

05.01.2022 Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning and how to learn. Loris Malaguzzi #ThisWeekAtRedHill #EarlyLearningMattersWeek

05.01.2022 We have quite a grand collection of small scale loose parts. The children have been playing with the same materials for many years now. We are always impressed watching their games unfold... like this one.

03.01.2022 Loose parts..... theyre pretty handy!

03.01.2022 Our children have been desperate for risky play. Theyve been missing our Bush Kindy visits! This week, tree climbing at kindy began. Healthy risk taking is an essential part of children's play. It builds skills for balance, coordination, persistence, confidence, problem solving, decision making and safety awareness. These experiences are intentionally facilitated by our team, as they support children to develop their skills to assess risks and keep themselves safe.

02.01.2022 Children and young people are honest. They are unlikely to lie about abuse. They are more likely to stay quiet about abuse or harm than to speak up (especially if they know their abuser). On the rare occasion that children or young people can and do speak out they need to be heard and given an appropriate response to ensure their safety and well-being. It is unusual for children who are being abused to tell someone. When this does occur, that someone needs to pay attention. Queensland Child Protection Week #ncpw20 #qldchildprotectionweek #NCPW #PlayYourPart

02.01.2022 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: its International Compost Awareness Week! This short video from our friend The Worm Monger shows how simple it can be to begin to reduce your food waste. We have a Worm Monger compost bucket on the go every day at kindy, collecting our excess food waste (after we feed our worms). The waste is taken to a community compost hub, and we all feel a little better about being a little kinder to Mother Earth. What can you do this week to make the world a little greener? #thewormmonger Queensland Early Childhood Sustainability Network - QECSN

01.01.2022 This is pretty last minute to share, we know.... emotion coaching is a really important part of our work. If you get the chance, this is a great opportunity to tune into tonight.

01.01.2022 Captain kindergarten to the rescue! This project has a little bit of everything... and we get the feeling that its only just begun!
