18.01.2022 When you start out in the early childhood sector you don’t understand the magnitude of your position as an educator. You don’t realise that for the parents one of the hardest things they can do is entrust a group of strangers to care for their babies. For over 19 years in the industry I have been fortunate enough to be one of the lucky people that has been trusted. I have cared for so many children over the years and cared for each and every one as if they were my own (scary ...to think some of my first babies I looked after are in their 20’s now) but my time has come to an end. On Friday I will hang up my booties for the last time. It is now time to embark on a new adventure and I will be moving on from childcare with the heaviest of hearts (especially with all that is going on right now). I’m excited for what my future holds but I couldn’t have got to this point without some incredible people. I am fortunate enough to have made some lifelong friends along the way! Thanks to everyone that was a part of that journey As they say onward and upwards!! Thank you to all the Moolanda families I have met over the 7 and a half years! It has been such a pleasure watching your babies grow.

16.01.2022 Good Afternoon Moolanda Families, With our Annual Children’s Christmas party only 9 Sleeps away we thought we would give you a wee update as to a few very minor changes to how our festivities will run this year, in line with government recommendations for social distancing. The Christmas party will still run as normal at Moolanda Care and Learning Centre however this year we are not having the incursion activity of BOP To You Drop to minimize crowding in a small space and ha...ve planned all our activities to be outdoors to allow for social distancing to be abided by. With this in mind we would greatly appreciate it if families could only have up to 2 ADULTS attending the Christmas party to try to keep the amount of people in our areas to a manageable number. We will still have our Bouncy Castles, Body painting, Ice Cream Truck, Sausage sizzle and photo shoot happening however these will be all located in our beautiful outdoor spaces aside from the photo shoot which will be located in the Babies room with an educator supervising. We will also be using the track and trace application Mr McGowan has provided to allow for us to keep track of all those whom attended the event so please down load the app SAFEWA or provide your details to Julie who will be walking around on the day recording these important details manually. We are looking forward to another successful Christmas party. Thank you for your understanding and support! See more
