24.01.2022 Strawberry patch children welcomed our Henny Penny chicken program to the centre this week. Children were able to learn about being gentle and caring to the chickens as they ensured they softly patted their backs, used gentle and caring hands and quiet voices. Children were all so excited to see and meet the baby chickens as we visit them each day, checking their food and water and for more baby chickens that are hatching from the eggs. Educators will continue to offer various learning experiences as we observe and learn about the lifecycle of a chicken over the next few weeks. #lovelearngrow #bestchildcareindalby

18.01.2022 Strawberry Patch participated in a science experiment This week as we explore all things chickens. This experiment was a vinegar and egg experiment as we continue to investigate the lifecycle of a chicken. Glass jars were filled with vinegar along with pink and blue food colouring and an egg. science Experiments help develop a childs resourcefulness, particularly their skills at goal-setting, planning, and problem-solving. It also nurtures intellectual curiosity, helping children acquire new ways of asking questions and understanding the world. #beststart #lovelearngrow #learningstartshere

18.01.2022 Apple Orchard children were provided with several experiences to extend the children's understanding and respect for the aboriginal and Torres Strait culture and heritage. Educators provided several flag painting experiences and aboriginal drawings. These experiences were extended from the children's interest from our NAIDOC week celebrations last week. NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia to celebrate the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Isl...ander peoples. It is important for NAIDOC to be celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by all Australians. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities from arts and crafts, music and dancing to having visitors from the local community to share stories and resources that can enhance the children’s understanding and respect for our indigenous cultures. These experiences are so valuable to the children to continue to explore their respect and understanding for different cultures. #leadingtheway #lovelearngrow #NAIDOCWeek2020 #teamdalby See more

16.01.2022 With the weather warming up we have had some exciting insects and bugs playing with us on the playground. We have been nurturing and caring for these tiny little lady bugs, investigating them, then returning them to their homes. To extend on their learning educators set up an intentional teaching experience, using recycled materials egg cartons, pipe cleaners, paint and googly eyes children created a ladybug. This experience uses childrens creativity, imagination, concentration and hand/eye coordination skills. Being confident and involved learners children can identify a ladybug when they find them in their natural environment and extend their interest with meaningful experiences. #beststart #bestchildcareindalby

09.01.2022 Painting can help children communicate their emotions or feelings. Through the use of different colors, they can express themselves without the use of words. Educators provided an opportunity for the children to re create some flowers in their painting to extend on their interest in flowers and gardening. Painting allows children an educational opportunity that is also fun and exciting. Painting allows children to acquire hand-eye coordination, an important skill. This is developed while they learn to paint the parts that they see. #learningstartshere #beststart #teamdalby #lovelearngrow

We are so excited to care and watch the eggs hatch and grow. #lovelearngrow #bestchildcareindalby

01.01.2022 This week lemon grove are focusing on their gross motor skills. Today educators set up a over and under obstacle course for the children to engage in. Throughout this experience the children used their gross motor skills to jump, balance and climb over and under the different elements of the obstacle course. When you encounter the various obstacles in a course, it tests both your strength and balance. This makes it a great way for kids to get an all-over workout, making them stronger and fortifying their sense of balance that is still developing at a young age. #leadingtheway #lovelearngrow #beststart
