17.01.2022 It’s never too early to begin teaching good oral hygiene to your children. Behaviours learnt when they’re young tend to stick with them throughout life. The need for this is increasingly important with tooth decay among children on the rise, with more than half of all 6 year olds having some decay in their baby and adult teeth, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, that’s why we have organised our mobile dental clinic to come to us!

08.01.2022 When educators and parents share reading experiences with children, it provides numerous opportunities for language and literacy learning. Reading with children is an opportunity to support children to make meaning from texts, and to learn how texts work (e.g. exploring texts). Children can also rehearse their emergent literacy skills (e.g. concepts of prints) through the supportive scaffolding from educators and parents. Watch out little kindy Scarlett who has created her own story book.
