11.01.2022 An update from Kate our Kindergarten ECT who is currently on a secondment at Fitzroy Crossing. Kate has said she is loving every minute of the journey she is on. We miss you Kate and cant wait for you to come back and share with us what you have learnt. This will help us all to build our capabilities so we can better make a contribution to Goodstart’s social inclusion goals. The secondments support the Fitzroy Crossing community by providing additional services to children and families. Through the program, Goodstart educators learn about modern Aboriginal Australia, then bring their experience and understanding back to build on Goodstart Early Learning's cultural knowledge.

04.01.2022 Today the kindergarten children continued their learning about bones by looking at xrays through our light box. Albert Einstein said, I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. Why is curiosity important? I believe that curiosity is the vehicle used by the open minded. It takes them to different places, allowing them to explore and discover different possibilities.

03.01.2022 Today is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day. This year’s theme #EldersOfTomorrow highlights the uniqueness and importance of the knowledge and wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and listening to children, the potential leaders of the future https://aboriginalchildrensday.com.au/

01.01.2022 Light Boards are a fabulous learning tool that enhance sensory play opportunities. The activities and learning experiences are endless and encourage a range of skills and development such as, fine motor development, pre-writing skills, hand and eye coordination, colour recognition and so much more!

01.01.2022 Children love messy play So does messy play really benefit a child? Messy play is extremely important for a child’s development. It provides children with an exciting tactile and sensory experience that inspires their curiosity and allows them to explore the world around. Children learn through experimentation and discovery and messy play encourages children to explore new textures and manipulate different materials through touch.

01.01.2022 Don't forget we are closed on Monday the 5th of October. We wish all our families a safe and enjoyable long weekend.
