25.01.2022 Thank you to all our families who brought something in for our giving tree. These have been given to a local refuge, Jodies Place, where they were received with great appreciation and will help make a happier Christmas for some local families. Merry Christmas

With this information and guide, along with many of our families affected by todays fires, we will be closing for business tomorrow. If you need care for your child please make alternative arrangements. If todays events have made a negative impact on your family and child, please talk to staff on returning to preschool to ensure we can support everyone in the best possible way. If you have any concerns please private message through facebook. Remember Nicole can not see any comments on posts.

19.01.2022 To all our families. Please ensure you keep up-to-date via our app. If you have not already downloaded please do. I have just posted a notification.

19.01.2022 Last month we looked at what plants need to grow. Our preschool friends came to up with soil, water, air and sun. We took away the soil to see if seeds would grow. Here are those seeds. Look at all the roots soaking up the water. Maybe you could try growing seeds at home with no soil. Next term we could try taking away a different element. Have fun experimenting over the holidays.

18.01.2022 Greta Fire Brigade is having an open information night tonight from 7-8pm in regards to the catastrophic conditions ahead for tomorrow. Please check out the below link for further details

17.01.2022 This year the children worked collaboratively to make our Christmas tree. It is known as the giving tree. Over the weeks we have been talking as a group how some people might not get many gifts. Also talking about how good it feels to give to others.

16.01.2022 Meet our new preschool friend. The children have named him Gecko. He is enjoying a bit of spring time gardening with the children

15.01.2022 A reminder to all families that we are a nut free preschool this year. Thank you for helping to keep all our children safe.

14.01.2022 Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. Once again we have another holiday project. Our leaking awning is being completely replaced with new outdoor table on their way also. The weather has yet to slow things down.

12.01.2022 www.dirtgirlworldshop.com/ggp-family-activate-cessnock We use these resources at preschool. Cessnock Council have now made this free for families. It is definitely worth looking at when engaging with your children in the garden.

11.01.2022 Its another terribly smokey day. Due to so many ongoing days of hazidous air quality I thought I would share the NSWHealth Bushfire smoke fact sheet.

11.01.2022 Some more plants for our bushtucker garden and also for our playground. We have more to plant and keep us busy. Thank you Cessnock Council and Cessnock Mans Shed for these wonderful donations in support of Environment Day on Friday the 5th June.
