24.01.2022 Paper plane races outside this morning. The Frogs made and decorated their own planes which they raced outside. Discussions on how they flew and how far they went could be heard between the children. #Paperplanes #STEM

24.01.2022 This reference was given by a mum who is one of a number of our parents who attended Punchinello themselves ... not so long ago! https://www.punchinello.com.au/

24.01.2022 The Frogs and Tadpoles showing empathy and compassion while role playing with dolls. This activity is also fantastic to teach responsibility and gives children the opportunity to work on their self-help skills. #Learningthroughplay #Handsonlearning

21.01.2022 In collaboration the FROGS made their very own handmade paper out of scrap paper. The process we worked through over the day included tearing, soaking, blending and customising using flowers, rosemary & food colouring. #ArtEducation #PaperMaking

17.01.2022 For the last two weeks we have been very fortunate to have had the living eggs hatching program with us. The children have enjoyed showing the chicks to their families during drop off and pick up as well as observing the changes on a daily basis. #ChickenLifeCycle #LivingEggs

16.01.2022 One of Punchinello’s favourite open ended activities is Playdough. There are so many options to engage and interest children with some easy additions including herbs, sand, flowers, colouring, glitter, beads and scented oils. Not to mention all the resources you can use with it. Some of our favourite at the moment are playdough scissors and cookie cutters. #SensoryPlay #Playdough

09.01.2022 Today at Punchinello we celebrated Early Childhood Educators’ Day. 2020 has been a year full of challenges like we could never have imagined. Our dedicated and passionate team have pulled together while continuing to provide exceptional care, love and support for all our amazing Punchinello families. On this day we take a moment to recognise our team and everything they do. #EarlyChildhoodEducatorsDay #LoveMyECE #TakeTheTimeToSayThankYou

03.01.2022 Punchinello is now taking new enrolments! We are welcoming tours - click below to arrange your time to come in to meet our experienced team.

02.01.2022 Our Facebook is the story of our Punchinello family and therefore it's appropriate to tell you a little more about Lynn Harris. You ALL know Mrs Harris - but did you know she has been with Punchinello since the first day we opened in January 1980? The books record that the only time Lynn has taken a sick day in all these 40 years was when she broke her shoulder rescuing a possum from the Punchinello roof. We love her and she loves us, and we can’t imagine Punchinello without her. Recently her priority is making our centre COVID clean and safe. Thank you Lynn .. from us all

02.01.2022 The Frogs worked hard creating their very own cardboard box puppet theatre complete with some amazing pop stick puppets. This project gave the Frogs a sense of achievement while allowing them to take pride in their work. #CraftProject #CreativeKids #ArtEducation
