19.01.2022 Graduating Class of 2020 Just like that another group of Learning lions children have Graduated from Little Smarties Early Learning Centre Kemps Creek. This year has seen so many challenges, changes to our learning programs, pick ups and drop offs, not seeing some friends for a while as they were doing learning from home. The children & families have trusted us and that humbled us with their continued support.... It was so important for us to celebrate the children who will be heading off to kindergarten in 2021.

08.01.2022 A special shout out to the amazing educators at Little Smarties Kemps Creek.

07.01.2022 | Meet our Team | Hi my name is Amanda , I am Diploma trained and I have been working in early childhood for 10 years. I have been with Little Smarties for 5 years. I enjoy travelling, being in the outdoors going on bush walks, watching movies and hanging out with friends and family. I am passionate about my job in early childhood and believe the best part about working with children is the meaningful relationship and bonds you create with them. The conversations you share a...nd the interactions and fun you engage in. I believe play is very important for a childs development. As they learn so much through interacting with both children and educators. I believe in hands on learning approach and providing opportunities for all children to explore, discover, create and imagine. I enjoy planning activities for childrens individual interests. As all children are different and unique in their own way. I believe that ongoing communication with families is important to create a relationship and work together to ensure childrens needs are being met at childcare as well as at home. I believe children have the right to a safe and caring environment. Children learn best in a calm and nurturing environment where they are free to explore and express them self.I enjoy watching children develop and grow through the years of caring and teaching them.

07.01.2022 Miss Linda doing what she does best, putting a smile on all our faces.

05.01.2022 Happy International Women's Day to the strong and powerful women who have impacted us in our lives! A massive appreciation goes out to all our passionate educators who dedicate their careers to the education, care and development of our children, and supporting our working community tirelessly each day. Thank you!

05.01.2022 2021 is not too far away. We have been busy organising the Kindergarten Orientation. Keep an eye out for more information that will be sent to you soon.

04.01.2022 | Childrens Artwork | Every time a childs brush hits the canvas or their pencil makes a line, theyre making a mark. Its a fundamental element in making any type of art and is how children begin to express emotions, movement and other concepts children wish to convey in an artwork. ... Pictured is mark-making artwork created by children in the learning lions classroom. They were very excited to share their amazing artwork with me and explain in detail what their artwork means to them.

03.01.2022 | Family Feedback | Thank you to Tracie Traydens mum for sharing these photos with us. Tracie used the banana loaf recipe we shared in our Little Smarties at home activity booklet. Tracie changed the recipe a little and made yummy banana muffins instead of the loaf. ... I must say, it looks very yummy and Trayden seems to approve too.

03.01.2022 | Bird Watching | Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of whats in a childs soul.

03.01.2022 A mother is a blessing that no one can replace! Happy Mothers Day to all our mums, aunties, grandmothers, carers & mums to be.

02.01.2022 Nature is an amazing, powerful & beautiful thing. When was the last time you enjoyed the beauty of nature? What did you do? Id love to hear about it!

02.01.2022 If your little one gets "the worries" or a "bubbly tummy" - also known as anxiety - try this simple trick to focus their attention, their hands and their breathing, and bring back some calm.

02.01.2022 | Fire Drill Practice | Little Smarties Kemps Creek is committed to the ongoing safety of all children, educators, families and visitors that use our services. As part of our fire and emergency evacuation policy, the children and educators participated in a fire drill today.... This month it was Miss Amandas turn to conduct a fire drill scenario which she did a brilliant job at planning. Fire drills are vital for children to learn about the risks of fire and emergency scenarios and to practice responding to emergency situations with confidence. The children responded really well to our fire drill today and were so excited to hear miss Amandas voice throughout the whole service on the speakers in each classroom.

02.01.2022 This is such a wonderful example of how to respond when our children are struggling to manage their emotions... Stay right next to them. Reflect their feelings Hold the space for their emotions.... Offer connection and help them feel regulated (hug, playful game, a drink of water) Keep grounded and cool. The moment will pass. If we meet fire with fire then it could easily get out of control, often leaving feelings of disconnection, guilt and upset on both parts. So instead meet fire with water! This can help them to feel calm, regulated and comforted, which is what they need. Regulate first, relate and then reason later. I just really love the way this picture shows how to just be with instead of fix, solve, help or punish. Next time you have a difficult moment keep this image in your head... the emotions will pass. Its important that we stay as cool, calm and grounded as we can for them.

02.01.2022 Live in the moment. Start each day with gratitude. Laugh more. Create meaningful connections. Meditate.... Focus on the positive. Believe it will all fall into place. Stick to your goals. Be positive. Choose happiness. Choose love. Happy New Year!

01.01.2022 I think our elf friend was very hot today, so he decided to go for a swim with Dennis our pet axolotl. I don’t think Dennis was very impressed.
