25.01.2022 Its Pyjama Day Today at Oak we celebrated pyjama day by wearing our pyjamas to care. YAY National Pyjama Day is a day where you jump into your favourite PJ's and help raise vital funds for children in foster care. Together, we can support little kids with BIG dreams.

25.01.2022 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

24.01.2022 Today we honour all of the Mums and Mother figures in this world. Today we celebrate the amazing love and care our Mothers have shown us throughout our lives. Today is your day. Happy Mothers Day.

23.01.2022 This week is National Families Week. It is a time to celebrate with your family, make contact with your extended family and friends, and share in the enjoyment of family activities within the wider community ( remembering to keep a safe social distancing ). It is a time to celebrate the meaning of family and to make the most of family life. We would love for you to share with us and our Story House family a snapshot or a tale of what you did as a family this week. https://nfw.org.au/

23.01.2022 Congratulations and welcome to our latest team members joining our growing Oak service, Toowoomba. Jessica Worrall JK Educator at OAK "Hi my name is Jess, my... partner and myself own a home in Highfields with our Rottweiler named Kingston. We have lived in Toowoomba for about 15 years. I began my childcare career in 2010, throughout this time I have loved being a part of the childcare industry because I enjoy looking after, teaching and shaping small minds. Over the years I have learnt to embrace each and every child in their own special way. I cant wait to meet all of your little cherubs and their families. I am an outgoing, fun, bubbly person and I believe everyday should end with a smile." Emma Morrin Nursery Lead Educator at OAK "My name is Emma Morrin and I will be the new Lead Educator with Gabby in the Nursery Room here at OAK. I live in Toowoomba with my husband Reece and daughter Skye, and our three cats and six fish. I have been told I have a knack for interior decorating, and absolutely love to read books in my spare time. I have my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, and am currently studying my Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) with USQ. I have worked in Early Childhood for over 4 years with all age groups, my most recent role was Educational Leader with my previous service. I began a career in Early Childhood as I have always enjoyed working with children, I completed my Diploma online as a stay-at-home mum and discovered that I have truly found my calling. I believe relationships with children and families are essential to Early Childhood Education - please come and say hi and see me if you have any questions. Let's embark on this exciting journey together!"

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.
