18.01.2022 Dear Preschool Families and Friends, We have received the following correspondence from the Department of Education regarding ‘Transition to School and Kindergarten Orientation’ today. If you have a children starting school in 2021 this is a valuable read!... Make contact with your child’s school and seek their assistance in supporting your child’s transition to school and Kindergarten orientation. See what they have planned for you and your BIG Kindergartener! Readiness and school transition does not magically occur in the year, weeks and days leading up to starting school. It begins from day one and is progressive. Maree Aldwinckle, Early Childhood Teacher, Academic and Consultant relays As educators and parents we need to recognise that every play experience we provide for infants and young children is part of school preparation, whether this is at home or in an early childhood environment. Every conversation, every book we read, every song we sing, every time we go to the park, every time we cook together- it is these types of shared experiences with adults that are preparing children for school.

13.01.2022 Most children are naturally great risk assessors. When given the opportunity, time and situation to be able to exercise this skill, they can use their senses to understand the situation they are in and make measured decisions to plan their response, next action or find a way out! We tend to stifle that innate ability when we stop them from taking risks in the first place. We remove all opportunity for risk, we instil exaggerated fear of a situation because we share our own ‘gut feelings’ with them before they have a chance to listen to their own internal warning signs. (Excerpt from article.) Great reading and provides ideas to support our children to take risks!
12.01.2022 A great article providing wonderful insight and tips to assist children with self-regulation. A skill for life!
12.01.2022 We have always been an advocate for the not-for-profit, community-owned sector! When choosing your child’s early childhood education and care seriously consider this! Where do you want your fee payments to go? Re-invested into your child’s preschool and community or into the pocket of a business owner/shareholder who also receive a subsidy from the Federal Government as well as your fees to educate and care for your child.... Some things should not be privatised early education and care is one of them.
11.01.2022 We love this! Challenges and taking risks build resilience, a sense of oneself and a confidence in our own abilities.
