25.01.2022 Not very often Im able to get a photo of these 3 holding hands while in the car . They were holding hands all the way home from dropping Nathan off to kindy and when we pulled up in my drive way they stayed holding hands long enough for me to capture this photo. This is one of the many reasons why Im proud to be a family day care educator.

24.01.2022 Last week the kids had a fun week we started off with some dancing and the girls had the best moves. Lol.

The initiative, which was launched in 2013, promotes the importance of nursery rhymes in early childhood development and education with a particular focus on how nursery rhymes boost early language and literacy skills. We have a number of activities planned throughout the week Singing nursery rhymes is a wonderful activity you can enjoy doing together at home and all of the resources are available for you to download. You can access all of the free resources at: www.worldnurseryrhymeweek.com Best wishes Jamie.

20.01.2022 On Tuesday we were out in the backyard playing and exploring. While playing Nathan and Alina found a caterpillar . Nathan told us all about caterpillars and that they need to be in the garden so they can eat and go into a cocoon and turn into a beautiful butterfly . We let our caterpillar go in our dinosaur garden.

20.01.2022 We had a fun morning doing a little science experiment using milk food colouring and dishwashing liquid. First step - we poured the milk into the dish. Second step - add drops of food colouring. Third step - dip the end of the cotton bud into the dishwashing liquid. Fourth step- did the cotton bud into the food colouring in the milk and watch what happens. ... The children were saying lots of wow wow wows. See more

16.01.2022 Welcome to the start of World Nursery Rhyme Week 2020! We get this year underway with "Wheels On The Bus", an incredibly popular nursery rhyme and children's song originating from the United States. A very catchy action song and fantastic for developing memory skills, it was first published in 1939. Action songs are brilliant for: Strengthening memory and recall. Supporting listening skills.... Encouraging children to take directions. Developing their fine and gross motor skills. Enhancing hand-eye coordination. Language skills and word understanding are boosted. See more

15.01.2022 Happy Early Childhood Educators Day to all the amazing Educators I get to work along side of.

14.01.2022 Continuing on with science week. This morning we have made slime. A great activity for outside. The children really got into the feeling of the texture and how the slime was hard and then it was gooey. Charlie was not very sure about the slime but was happy to watch the others.

13.01.2022 On Monday this week the children wanted to colour in our nails boards. This time we used white board markers. We talked about the colours we used on our nails and what our favourite colour is.

12.01.2022 This morning we were very lucky to have Carmel Cavalaro from enjo come and teach us about why it’s important not to litter and what we can use instead of all those plastics. The children were all excited and were very good a listening and they asked lots of questions. Next time we go to the beach we won’t be taking our throw away plastic cups. Carmel has also set us a challenge. She gave us a beautiful glass punch bowl and glasses for us to up cycle. We will be researching what we can up cycle.

12.01.2022 School holidays are next week and I have a couple of vacancies. Please let me know if you require school holiday care.

11.01.2022 I really like this fun reusable activity we created. I traced the childrens hands and feet and onto cardboard boxes drew some nails on the hands and feet then placed contact over the top and we used water based paint to paint the nails. We can also use white board markers as well. Once finished we simply wiped clean and they are ready to use next time.

We then went for a drive down to mourilyan harbour to see if there was a sugar ship in and we were in luck. They were not loading today but it was great to see it. We seen the tug boats that pull the ship into and out of the harbour. A great day out exploring and learning.
