25.01.2022 Welcome to our self-help station where children can learn to take care of themselves. From putting their own sunscreen on, to hats and jackets and blowing their noses to keep germs away. Let help our little ones help themselves! :)

24.01.2022 LEGO arrived today! @legomastersau eat your heart out, our preschoolers are getting to creating today. #littleengineerswhocould #finemotorskills

22.01.2022 One of our teaching pedagogies are scaffolding the childrens learning through their own interests and passions. One of our preschoolers birthday party inspired a passion for learning all things dinosaurs. Our lovely Miss S set up this awesome small Jurassic world this morning!

22.01.2022 Taking advantage of our lovely spring weather by utiliaing our donated kitchen outside. We popped it in the sand pit and by simply adding some cupcake holders and shells, we had a master chef cook-off! #playbasedlearning #roleplaying #science #math #measuring #weight #portions #volume

20.01.2022 Stay smart this Summer and check the UV before heading out. We have already been practicing our Slip! Slop! Slap! Seek! Slide! at Kidsnest.

19.01.2022 I LOVE using the books that kids are favouring at the time to teach them new concepts. Today during art class we got to practice recognising shapes, numbers and learning how to follow instructions all because of Masters E, L and Vs love of #insidemaryelizabethshouse book by #pamelaallen

18.01.2022 A big thank you to Kelsey for the amazing donation and kindness. The kitchen sink is an amazing hit and we are working on decorating it to make it more of a home. The kids are loving the role play opportunities. #kindness #roleplay #beautifulhomecorner #greatfamilies #kidsnestfamily

16.01.2022 LEGO MASTER in the house! Today our new LEGO bricks arrived and Miss 4 yrs got cracking, following the suggested building instructions. @legomastersau @lego @legomastersfox

16.01.2022 Dear Families, your feedback and review would be highly appreciated. If you could a quick moment to review our centre to share how Kidsnest has helped your family, that would be amazing! Thanking you all.

15.01.2022 Friendly reminder guys we are selling BBQ sausages to make some money for our fundraising to buy resources for our children so if you are around come to say hello!

14.01.2022 Hi there Families, I know that a lot of our families have needed some support during this time and it got me to thinking about this page. It is a community forum for families of children in the early childhood stage of life. It is a local group, create by the It Takes a Village - Babysitting Service. Please join if you need support, even if it is like-minded people to talk to. You can also share some ideas of what you have been doing during this time. At the moment, I have ...noticed that there has been a lot of support in regards to helping out with children at home. Remember, stay kind. x

14.01.2022 Using The Very Hungry Caterpillar stacking boxes for sorting experiences. How very creative! A good fine-motor experiences that can be extended into mathematics by then counting each colour group and graphing it. #homemademath #extensionexperience #playbasedlearning

14.01.2022 Fathers Day surprises are in the works. Beautiful primaries were blended with sponges and rollers as the children worked together. The outcome? Beautiful murals. #whatsthesurprose #kidsnestchildcare #creativekids #artsandcrafts #diypresents #weloveourdaddy

12.01.2022 Amazing time today with the preschoolers. A spontaneous numeracy class where I tried to incorporate as many early primary techniques as possible. Counting by rote, writing numbers, number recognition, name recognition, spacial awareness on paper, pattern awareness, following instructions, small projects. What concentration! #kidsnestkids #kidsnestfam #kidsnest #crowsnest #northsydney #childcare #earlylearning #flexiblecare #occasionalcare #preschool @ Kidsnest Occasional Child Care Centre

11.01.2022 Welcome to our new on-going Fundraiser. After some great brainstorming from our Committee of parents, we now have a Book Club going all year. All you have to do is come on over and check out the books for sale. We have a "Special Focus" book on a stand for $5.00 and the rest are gold coin donations. If you would like to help by donating some great books, please email your book ideas to [email protected] (we have limited space, thats all <3). ... All proceeds go toward the end of year pool for childrens resources. Kidsnest is a community based, committee run, non-for-profit organisation and so great fundraising ideas like this are great opportunities to raise funds. Thank you for all your help, wonderful families!

11.01.2022 Fathers Day Art - Oh, the love and care each child who chose to make a present put into these projects. You have very special Daddys!

11.01.2022 We can not wait to get the jelly in our belly! Masters E and L got the bright idea to work on this food prep and just check out that sugar-free bright lime jelly injected with strawberry and orange bites. Delicious, thanks boys! #kidsnestkids #cookingclass #hiddenhealthyfoods #preschool #crowsnest #northsydney @ Kidsnest Occasional Child Care Centre

10.01.2022 Merry Christmas from Australia. Every day this week, we took our children for a trip around the world to try different Christmas foods from different countries. Today we are eating fresh, cooked prawns with mango and mayo dip, fresh garden salad and cool, iced water with a slice of orange. Our desert, an Aussie favourite... Pavlova. Today's delicious dinner was prepared and served by Miss Sandra. Lovely!

10.01.2022 Miss Social asked for a group picnic today for afternoon tea. I really adore that we can allow such flexibility where children can take full charge of their environment. They set the table, they served themselves, they came up with the idea. @ Kidsnest Occasional Child Care Centre

10.01.2022 "Im still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Our toddlers had a blast today during our very spontaneous dance class. Learning how to dance with a partner! #kidsnest #crowsnest #occasionalcare #childcare #kidsnestkids #kidsnestfam #dance #education #earlyeducation #northsydney #willoughby

10.01.2022 Master V invented his own game today, placing "park here" spots for his cars. I scaffolding his learning by encouraging him to count as he placed a car onto each spot. He created his own learning and even tried to ensure that each car length was matched to the block length. A great mathematical learning experience. @ Kidsnest Occasional Child Care Centre

09.01.2022 Sunshine on a cloudy day makes us so happy! Throughout this water filled day, we have been checking in with each other. How are you? Need help? Im here for you! #areyouok #mentalhealthcheck #sensoryplay #measurement #volume #causeandeffect

08.01.2022 For the month of love we have been talking about the important things/people in our lives that we love x Miss V had a cooking session today with the children and sparked great conversations about ways we can love our bodies by making healthy food choices. #loveisallaroundus #mustbelove

07.01.2022 Introducing Leo -- The little love bird that has won over many hearts at Kidsnest. He has given the children an abundance of opportunity to learn about gentleness, kindness, love and how to look after something so much more fragile than they. #learningtocare #bondingwithcreation #theworldaroundus

06.01.2022 We wont tell a lie; its imagination central today at the sand pit. We are loving this beautiful spring day. Please stay this way forever! #youngatheartforever #playbasedlearning #waterplay

04.01.2022 Delicious Pizzas made completely by our kids today. They all got their own batch with only four ingredients needed to make it simple.
