25.01.2022 Nicky’s Kids Town participated in ALIA National Simultaneous Storytime 2021. We joined together to listen to ‘Give me some space’ by Philip Bunting. Now in its 21st successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.

24.01.2022 National Sorry Day, or the National Day of Healing, is an annual event that has been held in Australia on 26 May since 1998. The day remembers and commemorates the mistreatment of the country's Indigenous population. The children began to explore the Aboriginal culture in recognition of National Sorry Day along with and introduction into National Reconcilliation week! Nicky’s Kids Town acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we work on. And the elders and ancestors on whose shoulders we stand. We pay our respects to the Elders of the past, present and future and acknowledge their spiritual connection to country

24.01.2022 Ending the week with a sausage sizzle! Today we had a visit from Jeremy's dad Steve who dedicated some time to help us cook chicken sausages for lunch today! It was great to see how well the cockatoos contributed, carefully turning the sausages to make sure they cooked well! At times it was a bit tricky but after a few goes, they managed well.. I would say a job well done! ... Thank you to Nicky who organised the yummy sausages from her local butchers at Riverview. In the Cove

The children have already created their own game based on coordination and balance as they step upon them making sure to keep their balance and not to bump into their friends! If you have anything you feel we can use please let us know! As we are continuously on the lookout for more.

18.01.2022 Meet our Team Happy Birthday Natalia! Natalia Rodrigues... Early Childhood Teacher Natalia was born in Rio de Janeiro & Has 2 little princesses. Natalias mum was a teacher in Brazil and she grew up watching her, so when it came time she just knew that’s what she wanted to be too. Natalia can speak Portuguese & Spanish she have a passion for teaching and there is no greater recognition for her as an educator, than to see the children in her care to succeed and learn through her teaching. She believes to be a successful educator you need to provide a mix of love, learning, self-confidence and independence into your teaching. We need to remember that play is an important part of childrens learning.

13.01.2022 Thank you to the parents who joined us for our Transition to School discussion. Nicky holds this discussion annually to help parents become more informed about the changes which will occur with their children. Not only their environment, but how this huge transition may impact them physically and mentally and what the parents can do to help with the transition. NQS 6.1.3 Families are supported - Current information is available to families about the service and relevant community services and resources to support parenting and family wellbeing.

13.01.2022 Home made beautiful meals supplied by Nicky and Frazer celebrating their educators for Early childhood Educators Day! Thank you to all of the team at NKT for the amazing work you do!

04.01.2022 Today the Goanna’s participated in the minute silence for Remembrance Day. They were encouraged to stand in one spot and just be quiet for 30 seconds, which they did. At the end, we sat them down and explained why we did that, along with praising them for their efforts. Great work Goanna’s super proud of you!

04.01.2022 Join us at NKT as investigations are underway. Outdoor Provocations have been a huge interest and today as we further extend on ways to continue the children’s learning journey we have created a water world for the children to explore. Provocations encourage cooperative engagement, discussions and problem solving. Provocations allow and encourage children to experience the world for themselves through open-ended activities without being overtly guided by a teacher or parent.... The idea behind provocations is to encourage children to think independently by encouraging their interests and the exploration of those interests. We started with red, then some yellow and we had orange and now it’s very green said one of our 3-5 friends

02.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all of our special mums, nans and aunties out there. We wish you the happiest of days, thank you for all that you do!!

01.01.2022 Did you know we do Acknowledgment of country every morning as we welcome our friends into care?

01.01.2022 What an incredible afternoon! The children worked collaboratively to create their very own zoo. Each of the animals had their own habitats, the children used our natural loose parts resources to create the enclosures then sorted the animals. This experience sparked many discussions. $20 admission fee if you wanted to come visit the animals. 3.2.2 Resouces support play based learning- Resources, materials and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage in play-based learning.
