19.01.2022 Do you want to put some writing or admin skills to good use? We need a Grants Officer to search for and apply for much needed grants so that we can upgrade our playground, replace our fencing and purchase other equipment for the kindy. Most of the awesome things your children play on and in around our kindy are the result of volunteer parents that have come before you. Please consider giving up a little time for your kindergarten. This position could be done by one or several members shared. Please enquire with Michele, Jodie or Julie.

19.01.2022 Don’t forget the great ABC Kids Listen app during these sometimes long days. The daily programs or story times can be a lovely way for kids and parents to just wind down a bit. They’ve recently updated the app. The first story in ‘Little Yarns’ is from Hunter in Yugambeh Country. Some meditation sounds in the ‘Sleep Through’ part as well.

14.01.2022 We would like to welcome you and your family and encourage you to be as involved as possible during your child’s time at the kindergarten. The kindergarten you see today is a testament to the commitment and dedication of the hundreds of families who have passed through over the years, and its continued success relies on all of us. We understand this can be daunting at first, especially if you are new to this type of kindergarten, but we promise you will get out so much more than you imagined and you will forever feel part of our family and look back on your time and involvement fondly.

Please consider what you can offer and how rewarding this experience can be for you, your children and the families yet to come to our wonderful kindergarten.
