25.01.2022 Mark making... Children learn and begin to make sense of the world through mark making. It is the beginning of a child's journey towards writing and is an important step in a child's development for handwriting, creativity and coordination. At Goodstart Girrawheen, we offer a range of opportunities for children to make marks; chalk, textas, sand, paint, water and pencils are firm favourites. We love watching the journey from random scribbles, to forming shapes and lines, to ...including familiar letters and even trying to sound out words! Come and chat to us about our kindergarten program for three and four years olds. Call 089 343 4711 or email [email protected] to arrange a centre tour.

Sensory exploration. Experimentation and discovery. Building self-esteem, sense of satisfaction. Fine Motor Development. Hand-Eye Coordination and Control. Cause and Effect. Overcoming challenges and problem solving. Language development describing process. Communicating art ideas and making connections with our world. Colour recognition.

07.01.2022 Loose parts in our Nursery. Infants are researchers who are fascinated by the properties of objects and how things work. They explore materials with all their senses and delight in cause-and-effect relationships. Loose parts are captivating objects for infants to investigate because of their open-ended nature. Loose parts allow young children to be in control of their inquiries as they gather and learn information about physical objects.

05.01.2022 NAIDOC 2021 Congratulations to Maggie-Jean Douglas - a Gubbi Gubbi artist from South East Queensland - who is the winner of the prestigious National NAIDOC poster competition for 2021. Her entry Care For Country - was chosen from 260 entries in the national competition.... The 21-year-old artist said her first thoughts on hearing the 2021 NAIDOC theme ‘Heal Country!’ was about how country has cared for and healed First Nations people in all senses of the meaning for so long. I wanted to create an artwork that told that story and made me hopeful for what’s to come in future years, she said. The poster will be available to download from the NAIDOC website soon.

01.01.2022 Hi Goodstart families! As you know the Government announced today that the 'free childcare' package will expire on 12 July and that the CCS system will return from 13 July, along with new transition measures (up until October) to support the sector and parents as they move back to the subsidy. This announcement is a little bit complex so we are working hard to understand what this means for our families and for Goodstart. We will provide an update to our centres and our families later today and over the coming days as we learn more. #5weekstogo!
