25.01.2022 Hello just to keep you all in the loop. Following some life events/plans I have made a decision to take on a 9month contract commencing 2019. Which will push my opening date to 2020. This is to ensure that when Little Footprints Early Learning is officially operable everything is at its best. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

25.01.2022 Awesome simple tips for extending and developing scientific thinking in children's everyday day lives.

25.01.2022 Happy Maternity Leave Kate! Big thank you to Bec for creating this amazing cake Rebecca Saunders Becs Custom Creations I am so excited to be in my official new role come Monday.

24.01.2022 Book Week Magic The children and I have had so much fun this week celebrating all things book week! The children have really enjoyed participating in bookish play set ups. Bookish play is a term used to describe any play based activity that is centered around a particular book. ... We have also loved exploring the sensory jelly tubs with the letters of today’s story, musical instruments related to stories of interest, parades, dress ups and art experiences.

22.01.2022 Today is World Bee Day! A day to recognize, educate and create awareness of the vital impact bees have on sustaining our lives. We have participated in bee inspired creative art works, dress ups, books, songs and mind maps investigating what we already know about bees and what we would like to continue to learn. Yes I love my job!

22.01.2022 The children and I have experienced so much joy learning about nature. To further fuel the children’s interest in the world around us I added these resources from Nestling and Nook to our room. I cannot wait for the children to explore!

20.01.2022 Spring has sprung! The children and I have begun a gardening project of planting sunflowers, caring for and watching how they grow. Gardening in early childhood has many benefits for children including:... Developing Children’s gross/ fine motor skills. Encouraging Children’s awareness of sustainability and caring for the natural environment. Exploring scientific concepts in relation to gardening. Facilitating a sense of ownership as each child cares for their own individual flower. We can’t wait for our sunflower seeds to start sprouting! Stay tuned for an update!

20.01.2022 #Repost @blakbusiness Today is Sorry Day - we remember the Stolen Generations; those who came home and those who didn't. We remember the trauma and the hurt... as well as the resilience and strength. And we ask, will you remember our story too? #AboriginalAustralia #FirstNations #Aboriginal #IndigenousAustralia #Indigenous #FirstNationsAustralia #IndigenousAustralian #Koori #Murri #Palawa #Noongar #Yolngu #Blakbusiness #IndigenousCommunity #TorresStraitIslander #AboriginalPeoples #SorryDay #StolenGeneration #Genocide

19.01.2022 This week we revisited our dental hygiene interest following dental hygiene week last week. We discussed ways to care for our teeth as well as participating in a tooth brushing activity on the white board. Today we then extended on this by using the yoghurt lids as teeth and brushing off the marker pen with shaving foam as toothpaste that represented the plaque/and germs. It was such a hit!

18.01.2022 During Spring the children (and I) have been learning about plants, sustainability and life cycles. Today our Nestling and Nook order arrived and we were very excited to explore the new resources and use them in our play!

17.01.2022 As an early years educator we are advocates for children their health, learning and well being. Vaccines save lives. This is a great easy to read article debunking Vaccine myths.

17.01.2022 Monday morning delivery day! New resources for our week ahead from Educational experience, Oskars Wooden Ark and Smiggle! These resources will encourage building upon fine motor skills, dramatic/imaginative play and scientific discovery! Happy Monday!

14.01.2022 Wonderful books that educate children about our First Nations People.

13.01.2022 The magic of reading.

11.01.2022 Happy Monday! Exploring different mediums of Art. The benefits of Art in early childhood are numerous including strengthening fine motor skills, concentration, hand eye co-ordination, developing children’s emerging autonomy and allowing children to construct and process their own ideas/thoughts and feelings.

10.01.2022 Absolutely wonderful article highlighting the benefits of all weather play for children’s development. As Thomas Berry said Teaching children about the natural world should be treated as one of most important events of their lives.

09.01.2022 Building the collection of open ended, wooden toys for when Little Footprints Early Learning operates. Thank you to Oskar’s Wooden Ark for amazing resources.

08.01.2022 Following on from last weeks sunflower gardening experience all this week the children have been checking and watering their flower pots. Noticing the seedlings sprouting. This invitation to play garden set up is an extension on our gardening interest. Adding sensory materials including gum leaves, lavender, stones, loose tea leaves and play dough. The children loved exploring the different textures and smells of the lavender/ tea leaves and had fun creating their own play dough masterpieces.

06.01.2022 Hopefully it never has to be used, however this is a great idea.

05.01.2022 D.I.Y Xmas tree station - adding natural foliage, flowers and loose parts to capture children’s imagination and creativity.

04.01.2022 This is so important

02.01.2022 Happy Early Childhood Educators Day! To the wonderful educators, mentors and teachers that go above and beyond every day because they care about the children/students in their care. THANK YOU. I love being a part of this profession. Hope you all have a great day and know that you are making a difference.

01.01.2022 I have been privileged to receive this book from Author and Illustrator Lesley Salem a proud Wonnarua Woman. This book has provided the children and I with endless learning opportunities and knowledge of Eastern NSW Aboriginal Art and Symbols which we have used this week in our NAIDOC celebrations and will continue to use in the future. Here is Lesley’s website if anyone wishes to purchase. https://www.lesleysalem.com/
