25.01.2022 During covid restrictions we had to stop our self serving of food. Today we reintroduced it! Yeah!!! While self serving we encourage the children to listen to their bodies and decide how much food they will need. This helps them with self awareness and self regulation. Once finished the children then need scrape and clean their bowl, which also improves their self help skills.

25.01.2022 The day has finally come KBTB fam, we are back!! We can’t wait to see all of your faces tomorrow and shower your children with all the love. We have missed you guys!

25.01.2022 Holi Hai to our KBTB community! Today the children learnt about the meaning of Holi and why it’s called the Festival of Colours. To celebrate, some of our educators decorated the children’s hands with Henna. In India, Henna is used to on special celebrations and Holi seems like a pretty special occasion!... The children decorated Lotus flowers, which are considered the most important flower of India. The children the folded their Lotus and placed them into water, symbolising the Lotus blooming in the Spring The children will continue to learn about Holi throughout this week with many more activities to come! KBTB Holi colour run has been postponed to Thursday, so don’t forget to dress in some old white clothing!

19.01.2022 "Walking, walking, walking, walking, hop, hop, hop, running, running, running, now let's stop! " Our new favourite song on the under 3 side gets the bodies moving & helps us follow instructions.

15.01.2022 We regularly change the apparatus on our climbing frame. We have a balance beam, climbing ropes, slack lines, monkey bars and we just introduced trapeze rings. By changing apparatus the children strengthen different muscle groups and gross motor skills. Also the enthusiasm associated with a new apparatus means lots of opportunities for turn taking and negotiating with friends.

13.01.2022 Colourful Concoctions This week, the Breakwater children have been exploring the transitions of primary colours into secondary colours Today, the Breakwater children participated in a science experiment using the household classics: bi-carb soda and vinegar. ...

06.01.2022 Watch as we row, row, row our boat - not only does it take us on imaginary trips to the supermarket and the park but our Ferguson children love to gather to sing songs and rhymes in it too. Children are able to transfer and adapt what they learn from one environment to the other. The Boat provides opportunity for the children to play pretend and explore there local community through their imaginations and memory.

06.01.2022 What a great day for a campfire and some hot chocolate warmed over the fire! We highly value the educational opportunities offered by a 'risky' activity at Kids by the Bay. These 'risky' moments give children a chance to explore their boundaries in a safe and controlled environment.

05.01.2022 Wow! What a wonderful first week back It was so nice to see the happy and excited faces of all the children (and parents ) coming back into our service. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful community who love KBTB like we do! Bring on next week

05.01.2022 Last Beach Kinder for term one! Today we had our first evacuation drill at Beach Kinder. When you hear the whistle you've got to race back to the trolley. Well done kinder kids.

03.01.2022 Adding Autumn leaves to our always busy sensory boxes have proven to be a big hit this week at Bub Hub. Crunchy leaves, wet dirt, fragrant herbs and river stones engage all the children's senses as educators provide discriptive language of what they can feel, hear and smell.

02.01.2022 We love shaving foam in the Rosny room & have recently learnt that clapping foamy hands makes it look like it's snowing! Our Rosny's also know and are consistently reminded to be careful with our sensory activities as it could go in our mouths or eyes. This fosters their independence, sense of responsibility and consideration for our friends.

01.01.2022 Our Ferguson children have been busy exploring the yard in search of some bugs this week!
