25.01.2022 Exploring the instruments today, playing fast and slow, loud and quiet.

23.01.2022 Today we made a water xylophone. We first tapped the glasses with no water and found they all sounded the same. We added different amounts of water to each glass and were amazed when we heard low and high sounds!

23.01.2022 Surely this beautiful little beetle shouldnt be called a stink bug! The children were very excited to find him! #hibiscusharlequinbug

22.01.2022 Painting our clap sticks to finish off our music theme. We always try to be authentic as possible when doing Aboriginal themed artworks.

22.01.2022 We attended a great webinar for kids today presented by KidSafe for Burns Awareness Month. We learnt all about burns treatment as well as how to protect ourself from the sun. Afterwards we reflected on what we learnt and role played some burns first aid to practice.

22.01.2022 We love our Grimms Rainbow! The children have made so many different creations over the years. Miss 3 was very proud of her creation.

22.01.2022 Our beautiful new writing boards from My Family Rulers are a wonderful edition to our environment. #Montessori #KidsathomeNaturally

21.01.2022 Delicious home made pumpkin scones for afternoon tea today

20.01.2022 Over the coming weeks I will be holding interviews with families on our waitlist and finalising enrolments for next year. Make sure to keep an eye out if you have been waiting for a position!

20.01.2022 Glittery playdoh birthday cake making for Miss 3’s forth birthday this weekend. Ties in perfectly with our food theme too!

19.01.2022 Thank you so much to whoever nominated me, feeling very humbled

18.01.2022 We had a lot of fun today making these little Earths using eye droppers on cotton rounds. Great fine motor activity helping everyone with their pincer grip.

16.01.2022 Everyone has been loving our dinosaur theme for August so far!

16.01.2022 LITTLE CATERPILLARS MONTESSORI IS 5! What an amazing first five years of family day care! I'm so proud of what my little business is becoming, we are growing together every day! I have cared for almost 20 children, with two family day care schemes over the last 5 years, some for children for 3 years and I am excited to have my first group of younger siblings starting next year when my big kids go off to kindy. ... I am so honoured and thankful to be trusted with these amazing kids and love watching them grow and change from bubbas to independent little people ready for kindy. I seriously have the best job ever!

14.01.2022 Love this new fine motor activity we have added to our nature table.

14.01.2022 So much concentration as miss 3 dissects a wilted sunflower to find the seeds.

04.01.2022 The sun has been hitting our sandpit just perfectly lately. Just enough to keep us warm while we play. #kidsathomenaturally

04.01.2022 We had a bit of a gardening morning today. The children helped to plant some new spring onions and strawberries before adding some mulch to the veggie patch. We then noticed some ripe tomatoes so picked off the red ones together.

04.01.2022 Lovely afternoon tea outside made even more special by Mr 4 helping Mr 2 with the tongs. #GraceAndCourtesy

04.01.2022 Working Montessori practices into normal life at home is easy. Today instead of me making my children lunch they made their own. They are learning practical life skills, grace and courtesy and independence and they are so proud of their hotdogs. Apparently way better than when Mum and Dad make them!

03.01.2022 We had some fun sensory play today to tie in with this month’s food and nutrition theme.

03.01.2022 Invitation to play! Scooping, pouring, measuring, turn taking, colour recognition, hand-eye coordination and concentration. They are loving it. Making cups of tea, ice creams, rain, eggs and cakes.

03.01.2022 We have been learning a lot about rainbow food lately and this morning we are having a rainbow morning tea!
