25.01.2022 This week we met a very special person who is the author of these beautiful childrens story books that are all about being inclusive and having a positive I Can Do It!! Attitude. Tracey Hicks was born with Spina Bifida and has based the characters in her books about her own life challenges. Today we were very lucky to have Tracey come in and read her stories to the children. The children loved hearing about Sophie the Spinosaurous and how with the help of others and a lot of determination she could accomplish anything! Thank you Tracey Guffaw-Gumption Hicks for donating these beautiful stories to our children and for your time today.

19.01.2022 A special Easter message from our Big Teds teachers and educators...

18.01.2022 The children in our Kindy room have been very interested learning about occupations recently. In usual times we would have enhanced their learning with special visitors and excursions to extend on their interests. Last Friday our teachers and educators held an occupational dress up day where they discussed and learnt about various roles in our community. We learnt some personal information about some of our wonderful educators too!

18.01.2022 Earlier this week Jo from AWCH WA - The Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital Inc WA visited our centre to teach the children about medical equipment and aspects of going in to hospital. The program offers children the opportunity to have an informal hands on role play session using real equipment with teachers and educators close by. The aim of the program is to decrease the fear and anxiety that children may have about going to hospital. If you would like to know more out AWCH WA - Hospital Familiarisation Program visit www.awchwa.org.au

18.01.2022 At LCCC we love getting involved in our community, especially for worthy projects that help others and our environment. We are excited to see our little planters feature in the City of Melville Mosaic Magazine for this December issue

17.01.2022 Over the last few weeks our children have been learning about emergencies and how to respond when someone needs our help. A few children have also shown an interest in different emergency vehicles! Here are a few more photos of the children exploring inside the ambulance from last week. Thank you again to St John WA for coming out and educating our little ones!

16.01.2022 This year we set our teams a challenge, to use and make decorations for their rooms using recycled materials, handmade craft, nature inspired and collaborative art where possible. These example are only SOME! There was a lot of free expression art available for the children too. In the kindy room, the children took supplies home and created Christmas decorations with their families. They used empty nappy boxes and the children painted together to make their Christmas tree.... In the toddlers room they made many detailed decorations around their room and made use of our famous Honkey-nuts! A stick tree, a natural leaf reef, dough decorations and so much more using cardboard and recyclables. Our babies room used nature to transform their wooden tee-pee structure in their outdoor play area and the children decorated it together with recycled decorations and so much more, too much to list! Our office staff (ok Lauren and Pippa!) were very imaginative using egg cartons, and honey-nuts to create Santas sleigh, reindeers and Christmas tree. See more

15.01.2022 Its been so much fun learning about the life cycle of chickens! Watching them hatch and learning how to care for animals! We hope you enjoy watching at home also...

15.01.2022 We would like to invite our families and our community to come wander through the trees in Cedric Smith Park, off Calley Drive in Leeming. Our children have been learning about the importance of trees and how we can all help care for our environment for a sustainable future. We hope you enjoy the fun fact tree walk with your children and you also reflect on how you can help to preserve and protect our trees?

15.01.2022 At 11.00am on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. Today we remember those brave men and women who fought for our country and the sacrifices they made. Lest we forget

Over January and February many children begun their orientation with us, transitioned to older age groups and some begun their school journey. We hope we helped to prepare them for this next adventure! Our focus has been building meaningful relations and getting to know all about our families, their interests and special celebrations! Some highlights and photos of what we have be...en celebrating at LCCC *WestOz Wildlife experience and learning about snake safety. *Learning and celebrating Australian Culture and moving forward together. *Chinese New Year Celebrations and Dragon dance musical experience.

13.01.2022 Today was a beautiful day for keeping Australia BEAUTIFUL!! Some of our Big Teds Children explored the Cedric Smith Park and with some impressive tongs and PPE they helped to collect rubbish and clean up the environment. Leeming Child Care Centre adopted this spot last year and plans to adopt another spot to keep beautiful for our community to enjoy! We have been learning a lot this month about how to care for our environment. We have been reflecting on our practices and the inspiration of Plastic Free July to make positive changes for our future. We have some great tips and suggestion to come!!

11.01.2022 Families, Heres an informative and hopefully reassuring read on the 2019 Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2019) and children.

10.01.2022 Last night concluded our final Parent Evening for the year and what a year it’s been so far celebrating your little treasures and their achievements! Thank you to all of our wonderful families who attended over the last few weeks. We hope you enjoyed the insight of how your children participate in daily routines and how learning is happening for them everyday through our play based programs. Our amazing team of educators and teachers put effort in everyday to provide enjoy...ment, fun, love and many learning opportunities to help your children blossom and grow. We also want to thank you and our community for choosing us and for your ongoing support this year.

Sherree and Tanya

10.01.2022 This year after reflecting on our Australian history and events that have happened in the past, we wanted to send a message that we all belong and that we are all in this together and moving forward together. Our teachers and educators came up with an idea to design our own T-shirts symbolising this message.

10.01.2022 We think this is a fantastic government scheme to encourage recycling and teach the children that recycling can make a difference!

07.01.2022 Sadly (for us) it is Maleini’s last day in Big Teds as she begins her maternity leave!! Also very exciting times for her and Daniel!! We look forward to meeting their little one soon and we wish them the very best for their next journey as parents! Maleini has been a wonderful teacher to so many children and we will all miss her very much over the next 12 months! ... A very big thank you to all our families who joined us last night for Big Teds Parents night!

07.01.2022 An interesting read about young childrens brain development. We are often hearing phrases such as School Readiness Pre Kindy Programs it seems that society now expects young children to constantly be in preparation for the next stage. We believe in children being children in the moment and having exposure to a wide range of opportunities holistically to expand their interests, curiosity and enjoyment.

06.01.2022 Better late than never... we had a wonderful time celebrating with end of year events in November and December. So busy we havent had time to post just SOME of our highlights Whilst its sad to say good bye to so many families as children begin their next journey, we are also excited to welcome many new families to share fun times together in 2020!!

04.01.2022 This is a great Initiative and we would love to help! Families, if you would like to bring any donations to the centre, we can pass these on to Yaz Mubarakai.

03.01.2022 Today on Remembrance day we reflect and show gratitude for the sacrifices made from those who were involved in World War One. We appreciate our quality of life and the positive future ahead for all of us. Today the children were involved in making poppies, listening to age appropriate stories and paying respect with a minute silence. Our red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces comm...unity. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it Attached is also the famous poem; IN FLANDERS FIELDS written by Major John McCrae in 1915. John McCrae was a doctor, a soldier and a poet (For adult reading).

03.01.2022 One of our parents at our centre who is a music teacher recently created this hand-washing song with her son and daughter. The children have been singing it around the centre. Its catchy and we thought you might like to share it with your children at home. Thanks Amy! https://youtu.be/ZSPm6Ol6KEU

03.01.2022 Today our kindy children participated in a 000 Hero emergency program. Blade from St John Ambulance Education came to visit us and the children learnt how they can help in an emergency. The children were very lucky to explore inside the ambulance and listen to the Siren! They also learnt how to use a telephone and dial 000 if a grown-up couldnt.

02.01.2022 We are wondering if anyone in our community has a Mulberry Tree? Or know the location of one? Our children are learning about the life cycle of silkworms and they eat through a lot of mulberry leaves!!! The Weeping Mulberry Tree doesn’t seem to have leaves at the moment... Thank you

01.01.2022 Dear Families and community, We have had a few conversations today with parents who are asking about school closures and if we will be closing too? We want to reassure you all, that NO we are not intending on closing unless we are instructed to by the department of health. Procedures are in place to help with social distancing and extra hygiene measures. We have been informed by our government that we are an "essential service" so at this stage we will continue to provide hi...gh quality education and care for families and children who require it. Everyday we read and learn about recommended guidelines and follow best practices for everyone's health, safety and wellbeing during this period of time. We also want to say a big thank you to our wonderful staff and families who have passed on positive comments and encouraging words that mean a lot to us all. Today we received this anonymous toilet roll cake that made us all smile!! Thank you for supporting us! Sherree & Tanya and LCCC Team!

01.01.2022 Yesterday we had a Disney dress up day! Dont forget for those at home participating, we would love to see your pics too! Next Wednesday, 20th May is Loud T-Shirt day!
