25.01.2022 9 of our Preschoolers went on their HCS Orientation Excursion this morning. Excited was an understatement . Ms Maher & Steph picked us up from BL on the School Bus and took us for a drive past the school to check out some of the cool things at big school! We then went to the library where Ms Maher did some literacy & numeracy activities with us. We enjoyed a story and some singing too. I asked them on the way back did they want to go back to Billylids or go to Big School, their reply was Big School. Thanks Ms Maher & Steph for a great morning of learning. And to Maeves mum Mish who came along to give us a helping hand

22.01.2022 Trying different tastes and textures through food! Our Jumping Joeys experimented with avocado , pineapple , rockmelon, watermelon and banana , safe to say that the avocado was the least favourite.

22.01.2022 Did you know? Eating fruit and vegetables every day will help your child grow strong and healthy. Children aged 2-3 years should eat 1 serve of fruit and 2.5 serves of vegetables and children aged 4-8 years should eat 1.5 serves of fruit and 4.5 serves of vegetables, each day. (Approximately half of these amounts for toddlers aged 1-2 years). Check out our scrumptious fruit platters the children enjoyed for morning tea today

22.01.2022 How awesome are our Busy Bees!? Look at these awesome sand art creations! The children took their time picking their colours and carefully sprinkled the sand on their paper. This activity took some great concentration and patience.

17.01.2022 FRIDAY FUNDAY Spontaneous adventures are the best!

16.01.2022 Our little ones have been enjoying small and simple sensory activities. Our bags filled with water and glitter create an easy look and find sensory activity, our babies thoroughly enjoyed touching and squishing the bags with their fingers. We created a tooth brushing activity with shaving foam, tooth brushes, rocks and chalk. The children worked hard to clean the chalk off of their rocks but the best part was exploring the texture of the shaving foam.

15.01.2022 Hillston was like Pitt St tonight and We know why!! So many awesome lights around town, it’s so awesome to see!! Cowper St, Lachlan St & Burns St are very bright and We have to mention how nice the Main Street looks, with lights in the trees & the shops. Thank you all for getting involved with our competition. We can wait to see who wins the categories

15.01.2022 Today we welcomed Rebecca from the Gatty Hobby Farm! Rebecca showed the children just how easy it is to set up a sustainable worm farm! The children helped collect dirt to provide a base for the worms and even got to hold some of our new wriggly friends! We look forward to watching our new friends grow and hopefully soon they’ll provide us with lots of yummy plant food for our spring/summer veges!

14.01.2022 The Jumping Joeys tried their hands at being archaeologists this morning! Using their fine motor skills to brush away the colourful sand, they discovered a range of animals, shapes and colours. A simple activity that promotes curiosity and provides the children early exposure to colours, shapes and also counting.

14.01.2022 It looks like a lot of Christmas lights were put up around town this weekend, so good to see . If you haven’t already registered for The Best Lights In Town, please email: [email protected] Don’t forget to include your name and address .

We will be posting later on in the week our new 4 week menu, check it out

13.01.2022 We are seeking a cleaner to join our team

13.01.2022 A simple activity like frogs in a tub with sand can create many opportunities for learning! The children spent time counting their frogs, comparing the colours to see which are the same, practising their prepositions of place (under, behind, next to...) but most importantly they used their imagination for pretend play!

We kindly ask that all visitors and families sanitise their hands before they enter and exit the building. There is one at the entrance of the building ( near the buzzer) and one as you exit ( near the button to unlock door). All you have to do is hold your hand about 5-10cm under the dispenser and it will do the rest

08.01.2022 Our Awning is up Thank you to the Carrathool Shire for providing us with funding to provide a sun safe area for our 0-3 year olds to enhance their learning and development in an outdoor setting.

06.01.2022 With spring time looming just around the corner, our Busy Bees spent the day clearing weeds getting our back yard ready for spring gardening. The children took turns and were shown how to operate the tools safely. This outdoor activity resulted in some sweaty hard workers, a weed free back yard and the children learning practical skills to take home! Ive seen my dad do this, he gets very sweaty- Lorenzo
