18.01.2022 This week the Little Explorers made spring-themed playdough and used our imagination with leaves and bottlebrush flowers from the outside garden at MEEC. We dyed our playdough pastel pink and added drops of a grapefruit essential oil as a sensory element. We have also associated Spring with rainbows, which has been a great learning experience to extend on our colour recognition.

18.01.2022 REFER A FRIEND AND RECEIVE A REWARD At MEEC we are dedicated to delivering high quality care and education to all our families. Last time was so successful for referring MEEC to a friend that we have decided to do it again, this time for $500!!... An enrolled MEEC parent or staff member may refer a friend to MEEC which leads to an enrolment of one child for at least 2 days a week for a minimum of three months. MEEC will reward with a $500 gift voucher to be spent at anyone of the local Murwillumbah business of your choice. We are excited to be able to support local businesses which keeps our community vibrant and healthy and a great place for us all to live. With this in mind, we have begun a very generous REFER-A-FRIEND program which will benefit both families and local business. We would love to remind our families that MEEC offers extended hours of service from 6:30am to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday, 52 weeks a year (excluding public holidays) for children 6 weeks to 6 years old. We offer a NSW Department of Education approved preschool program which runs 48 weeks a year, providing an additional 16 weeks per year of learning and offering our local children the best start for school and beyond. We would like to thank our families and staff for making MEEC the thriving community hub that it has become. We are all working hard to make 2020 the best year ever for all our little ones as we continue to provide high quality education and care in all areas. Please ask your friend to contact us for an enrolment pack.

01.01.2022 Children in Sensory Land have enjoyed playing in their ball pit. Children have been practicing throwing, rolling and 'swimming' in the ball pit, which is beneficial for gross motor development. Playing with balls improves children's motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and timing, which are important parts of the developmental progression.
