19.01.2022 WOW!! What a night!! Our sincere thanks goes to all those who attended, donated and supported our Spring Fling Cent Sale & Auction. We had a fantastic night with about 150 people in attendance. I think its safe to say the night was a success with just over $8000 being raised for our wonderful Kindy!! We couldnt have dont it without all of your support!!

19.01.2022 The amazing people of Squealing Pig Farm have kindly offered the Kindy the opportunity to run a bar on the Saturday night at their awesome music muster on Australia Day weekend, with all the proceeds going to the Kindy!! Not only that, but they are also allowing us to run a sausage sizzle & sell yummy home bake goodies over lunch both Saturday & Sunday to raise a little extra!! And on top of all of that, they are donating all the recyclable can...s from the event to us to take to Containers for Change, to make even more money!! So, if you havent found anything to do yet for Australia Day, come along and support these guys (and the Kindy) and have yourself an amazing time while youre at it!! Kindy Families - We are still looking for a couple of volunteers to help out, so if you are available & willing to help, please let us know! Youll get in to the event for free!!

19.01.2022 WHO WANTS TO WIN A SMART WATCH??? Just a few days left to enter our Mother’s Day raffle!! Don’t forget to share around with your family & friends!!

18.01.2022 Take a tour of our beautiful Kindy!! It’s a lovely, bright, colourful, space. But what really makes it really amazing (other than the kiddos) is our fantastic educators!! Thank you so much Miss Lisa & Miss Ally for taking such great care of our kids, making them feel safe, ensuring they have a great kindy experience and most of all making the parents feel completely comfortable with (quite often for the first time) leaving their children in someone else’s care. HAPPY 50 YEARS MACLAGAN WINDERMERE KINDERGARTEN!!

18.01.2022 Thank you Mummy for holding my hand and showing me the way. For being my biggest fan, each and every day. I will love you forever; and forever you will be The most wonderful mother, you mean everything to me! ... HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! On Friday, our kiddos held a beautiful spa day for the Mum’s/Nanna’s. It was the most beautiful afternoon. Their loved ones patiently waited outside, until one by one the little ones came out and called them inside and sat them down in their spot, which was beautiful decorated with flowers & foliage they had picked from the garden earlier that day. They washed, exfoliated & moisturised their Mumma’s/Nanna’s hands and painted their nails. This was followed by a lovely neck & shoulder massage and a light afternoon tea of the children’s choice. It was an absolutely lovely afternoon & it was so nice to be able to give our ‘Mother’s’ the special treatment they deserve - a lovely lesson to the children in showing kindness and appreciation.

18.01.2022 We have new hours!!!! As of this Wednesday 26th February the Kindy will be operating Wednesday & Fridays from 8am - 3:30pm (dropping the alternating Thursdays).

13.01.2022 Dont forget about our paver fundraiser!!

13.01.2022 Our Mother’s Day raffle is well under way, less than a week to go, get to tickets now to Ben the running for some great prizes!!! https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/

11.01.2022 We cant go out & about to explore at the moment, so many places/businesses are making live streams for people everywhere to watch, theres zoos, wildlife sanctuaries, museums, art classes and more and we think its a great idea!! Heres just one we thought the kids might enjoy!!

11.01.2022 After much deliberation, due to the current circumstances and the very real possibility of a second wave of COVID outbreaks in QLD, we have decided to make some... changes to our event. In order to keep everything as safe, hygienic and social distancing friendly as possible, we will no longer be having rides. We will still aim to have market stalls, fun & games for the kids (& kids at heart), yummy food and drinks (including a bar)! Obviously this will still all depend on the restrictions at the time, but hopefully well bramble to go ahead without much more change! We have also decided, given the tough times a lot of businesses, especially small businesses, have been through recently, we will not be charging our stall holders a site fee. So if youve been thinking about having a stall, apply now! Youve got nothing to lose! Email us at [email protected] for an application form. Please hit share & help spread the word! We hope to see you there! https://facebook.com/events/s/50-year-celebration/851351078696776/?ti=icl

06.01.2022 After much deliberation our committee has decided, that, given the circumstances, it is in the best interest for everybody involved that we cancel our 50 Year C...elebration in its current format. We are absolutely devastated to have to do this, we were really looking forward to celebrating 50 years with our community and those who have helped us along the way. It has not been easy to make this decision and we pushed through for as long as we could with positive attitudes hoping to be able to pull this off. But given the continuing growth of COVID cases in Queensland, we have decided that it is not worth the risk to our stallholders, our attendees, our staff, our children and our community. We have not given up though!! We are still going to celebrate and we still want you to be involved! We are hoping to put together a virtual/online market day/night with the hope to bring our community together, bring our market stallholders together and to create an event that is fun and gives back to our community in some way. We are still working out the finer details of the event, but we will post on here once we have put it all together. So be sure to keep an eye out so you can be involved!! We are really sorry that we cannot go ahead as planned, but we are hoping that this online event can be a success!

05.01.2022 Good morning everyone!!! With everything going on at the moment, its quite possible we wont be able to celebrate with our Fete, BUT at this stage we are still going ahead with planning, in the hope that things will be back to some sort of normal by then! We are still looking for sponsors and stall holders, so please, if you are interested, get in touch. We know times are tough at the moment, but wed really love to be able to pull off this fantastic, fun-filled, family day - for our community, our teachers, our families and everyone who has supported us along the way!

04.01.2022 Each year, at this time of year, the kindy puts together a care gift to help those less fortunate or experiencing hardships. Its a great way to teach our kids the importance of giving. This year, we have decided to keep it close to home and support a family who, like so many of us, are dealing with tough drought conditions. With the help of Drought Angels, we have found a family to send gifts and supplies to. If you would like to purchase anything to contribute to our gift, ...please deliver to the kindy as soon as possible. Below are the details of the family. We are hoping to be able to get something for each family member - Mum, Dad & 4 children. If youd like some more information or ideas on what you could donate, please send us a message. If you would like to make a contribution yourself to the fantastic charity group that is Drought Angels please head to their Facebook page to see how you can help our struggling farmers.

03.01.2022 As you may know (almost certainly - weve talked about it lots!!! ), this year is our 50th year of service!! And what better time is there to leave your mark permanently at the kindy?? And what better way to leave your mark than on a personalised paver at our entrance for all to see?! And even better, by buying a paver, not only will you get to make a fun design of your own, you will also be helping the kindy raise funds! For more information or an order form, email us at [email protected] or send us a message. Please share, to get the word around!

03.01.2022 Head on over to our group, join up & check out our colouring in competition we are running for the kids!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/312574900047630/?ref=share

02.01.2022 Dont know what a cent sale is??? Let me enlighten you!! Imagine a raffle....then multiply it by about 100 and put them all in one room!! We have over 100 prizes!! You buy a sheet 20 of tickets for $1 and you choose which prizes youd like to go into the draw for and you put a ticket/tickets into that particular draw, then continue to do so with the rest of your tickets & the rest of the prizes, you can but as many sheets of tickets as youd like - remember theyre only $...1 for 20 entries, so its a bargain!!
