24.01.2022 The Oakvale kindy children hosted a Zoom meeting today with the children from Story House Windsor in Brisbane. The agenda was "Chickens."

23.01.2022 National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 27 May to 3 June - is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

09.01.2022 This week we look to place the spotlight on National Child Protection Week, with the theme. "Putting children first". NAPCAN - Play Your Part invite all Australians to look at how they can prioritise children in their lives and communities and to engage in National Child Protection Week as individuals, and as part of families, organisations, communities and society. Putting children first means prioritising the safety and wellbeing of children. To grow up well children need to feel safe and loved, have a chance to play and explore, have a say in decisions that affect them, and access to essential things like food, shelter and healthcare. #childrights #childprotection

09.01.2022 National Sorry Day provides an opportunity to share in actions and to speak with children about Australian history and the importance of family and community. Today we acknowledge and recognise members of the Stolen Generations.

07.01.2022 Want to know what a quality nursery looks like? Look no further....Did you know that Miss Nikki is a qualified Early Childhood teacher. She understands how babies learn and develop and provides a program that supports each and every child!

06.01.2022 Take a look Within the Nursery room, the educators intentionally design spaces for play-based learning that extend upon childrens fine and gross motor abilities in alignment with appropriate developmental milestones. Currently the children within the room are employing the use of the resources to extend on personal developments, including fine motor grasping, gross motor lifting, crawling, and climbing, alongside hand-eye coordination and recognition (i.e. colour recognition, recognition of self, and recognition of others).

05.01.2022 On Wednesday 2nd September we celebrate Early Childhood Educators' Day! We want our early childhood educators to know just how much they are appreciated by their service providers, families & children, along with the broader community. At Oak on South we are encouraging families and children to write a special note for their educators.

05.01.2022 Today our Toddler children slept outside. There are many emotional benefits from sleeping outside these include; - Relieves stress - Improves cognitive function - Enhances mood - Children sleep better as the cooler air helps them sleep longer- Children who nap outside may have fewer colds because spending more time outdoors decreases exposure to germs in enclosed spaces.

05.01.2022 Today we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to their country, those who returned home injured or ill, and those who bravely serve our country today.

05.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day From everyone at Oak on South.

04.01.2022 Benefits of attending kindergarten Research shows that quality play-based learning is a powerful way to support childrens learning and development. The benefits last into the school years and beyond. Did you know that we provide a quality kindergarten program aimed at children the year before they attend formal school. We offer care from 6:00am to 6:00pm with the Kindergarten program hrs running from 8:00-4:30 Monday to Friday. Taking part in a quality kindergarten program at an earlier age leads to positive effects on child development. It has even greater benefits for children who need extra support or are in vulnerable circumstances. Want to find out more? Come and visit the service and take a tour and meet the staff.

04.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day. R U OK? is a not for profit organisation founded in 2009 with a vision of a world where we are all connected and are protected from suicide, as well as encouraging and equipping everyone to regularly and meaningfully ask are you ok?. At Story House Early Learning, we continue to work with our services to focus on promoting and supporting kindness, mental health and wellbeing for everyone within our Story House Family and beyond so please take the opportunity to check in with and look after someone. If you have a nagging feeling that someone you know or care about isnt behaving as they normally would, trust your instinct and act on it. #ruok #mentalhealth #beyondblue

04.01.2022 Many Story House Early Learning services embraced National Sorry Day or the National Day of Healing on Wednesday, May 26th by engaging children in activities to help them learn about Australias first people and their culture. #ReconciliationWeek #sorryday http://ow.ly/Tg3V50zXytf

02.01.2022 Today in the Nursery room, the children were invited to engage in a intentionally designed programmed activity to commence the beginning of National Reconciliation Week. Within this, the children were encouraged to support and celebrate the national reconciliation links. The educators provided the children with a drop sheet paper than the children were encouraged to walk over with painted feet. The practice symbolised the land on which the children walk in recognition of the traditional owners. The practice further encouraged childrens use of continuing gross motor development in alignment with childrens developmental milestones.
