25.01.2022 Over the last week our children and educators have been busy decorating two of the Riddells Creek Community Christmas trees. The children made their own decorations and helped place them and the tinsel on the Christmas trees. You will notice that we have decorated a second tree this year; and we did this for the Riddells Creek Police. ... Make sure you keep a look out for our trees in the main streets

22.01.2022 The children have been loving the beautiful spring sunshine over the last week; and have been making the most of exploring their outdoor environments. We are so lucky at Riddells Creek, for our large yards; and we know the children are always busy whether they are riding bikes, climbing on the forts, playing in the sandpits, cooking in the kitchens, playing in the gardens or simply enjoying the sunshine with friends. With the warmer weather coming, it is paramount that all children have their hats with them

19.01.2022 This week we have commenced transitions for all of our children, ready for our 2021 room change. We are doing daily transitions so that all children have the opportunity to become familiar with their new room environment, and any new educators. Each of the children have educators from their current room, that are moving up with them; which assists with the transitioning. All of the children are loving being in new environments, taking every opportunity to explore and engage in new learning experiences.

16.01.2022 Happy Early Childhood Educators Day This year at Goodstart Riddells Creek our celebrations for Early Childhood Educators was a little different due to COVID, but we still celebrated the amazing educators at our centre. The educators wrote warm fuzzies about one another, we updated our educator wordles and got each educator to write three kind words describing each educator, we then had ten different awards where educators were gifted a certificate. We also had a COVID fri...endly morning tea and had personalised cookies. We are grateful for everything our educators do to ensure that all of the children at our centre have the best start to their education journey. Thank you to our parents for your kind words, gifts and to the children for creating pictures thanking your educators. Happy Educators Day to all of the other wonderful educators

09.01.2022 Congratulations to Beth for achieving her Full Teachers Registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching! In Victoria, teachers are provisionally registered for two years after graduating with their teaching degree. As part of their pathway to becoming a fully registered teacher, they are required to demonstrate that they meet all seven Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the proficient level. As you can imagine, much time and effort goes into the developm...ent of the necessary skills and knowledge to be considered a ‘proficient’ teacher. We are very proud of the work you have done, Beth, to achieve your full registration. We are so lucky to have you a part of our team, and cannot wait to see you flourish in our Kinder room in 2021 Please join us in congratulating Beth
