15.01.2022 "While our researchers conduct their experiments at Clayton, budding young scientists at the Monash Children’s Centre embark on their own early learning journey next door. We speak to centre educator and sustainability officer Melanie Paice about her work at the centre, and its nature play and sustainability programs, which included a recent tree-planting day at Clayton campus."

14.01.2022 This FREE download book about COVID19 seems geared for 4yo and up, but certain pages could easily be explored with younger children. The pictures are very diverse and inclusive which is a joy to see! https://nosycrowcoronavirus.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Coro... This digital book was produced by Axel Scheffler, The Gruffalo illustrator. He worked with consultant Professor Graham Medley, two head teachers and a psychologist to make sure the book got the messages right, answering questions about quarantine, how you can catch the virus and what happens if you get ill.

01.01.2022 A new Australian App has been developed for families to provide ideas of developmentally appropriate activities which can easily be introduced and revisited at home. The app allows you to enter in your child's age and asks about some goals you may wish to work on with your child. It then provides activity ideas which reflect those goals. The app is a free download from the App Store or Google Play. https://www.brighttomorrows.org.au/
