25.01.2022 We've already made it to October!! Usually we would post our monthly calendar for October, but this coming school term we are going to do our calendar a little bit differently. We've listened to some feedback about reading the calendar and next week we will share the Term 4 calendar so everyone knows which programs and playgroups are coming up. Stay tuned while we finalise a few details and we look forward to sharing the new calendar next week!



25.01.2022 Good morning. This morning Donna and Kelsey are getting ready to 'shake our sillies out' and 'zoom zoom' around the room while we're 'shaking our maracas' and hiding scarves. We hope you can join us at 10am.

25.01.2022 'Twas the night before Christmas and all were so keen, to see where Santa was going, and where he had been! ... Luckily in the households there were tech-savvy hands to search on the internet and scour all the lands! Google Santa Tracker makes it possible to follow Santa on his sleigh ride around the world. Just search for Santa in Google Maps or visit https://santatracker.google.com/ We hope Santa visits your Ho Ho Hooome!

24.01.2022 Please remember the CFC will be open only for pre-booked appointments this week.



24.01.2022 We are really excited to bring this wonderful opportunity to our families to celebrate during Book Week this year. Alex Morse is a fantastic music workshop facilitator who has worked at a number of CFCs and we are really looking forward to invite her to the Ravenswood CFC on October 22nd. Come prepared for a dance and a sing-a-long. Numbers are very limited for this workshop so please RSVP quickly to avoid disappointment. Edit to add: As per our usual policy, Ravenswood/Waverley zoned families will be given preference as they are in our CFC area. Sorry for any disappointment.

24.01.2022 The end of the year is almost here, and along with all our other groups, we finished Bringing Up Great Kids last week. Bringing Up Great Kids is a program that supports parents to explore their parenting style and grow their relationship with their children. It also focuses on helping parents develop ways to care for themselves so they can be more available for their children. Deb and Cecily valued the great conversations about the highs and lows of parenting. It was a pleasure to run the group. Well done to our mums who completed the program during a busy term.

15.01.2022 Merry Christmas Ravenswood CFC!! Thank you to everyone who was able to make it today to celebrate Christmas and the end of the year together. We had families playing in nearly every corner of the CFC, inside and out, making Christmas crafts, riding ponies, making delicious fruity Christmas trees and Santas but the best fun was catching up with Santa Claus. What a fantastic way to finish up the year! Photos part 1

15.01.2022 We hope everyone has had a restful break. We have a few fun sessions planned for the month of January and lots of opportunities to come in for a play and catch up. We are super excited to announce our new staff next week, who are very excited to be joining our CFC team this year.

12.01.2022 Goodbye from Cecily. Today is my last day working at the CFC. I don’t think I have ever loved a job as much as I have loved working with all of you. Thank you for trusting me and sharing your stories with me. Thank you for having a go at all the things we’ve made in Makers and Yarners. Thank you for your courage in making changes in your life. ... And most of all, thank you for being there for your children every single day. Being a parent is hard work, and I have seen all the ways you love your children and work to be the best parent you can. You are all amazing. Next year there will be new staff at the CFC, and they will give you support and care - you are not alone on your parenting journey. It’s always ok to ask for help and you can find it at the CFC. All the best to you as you help your children grow.

11.01.2022 Reminder for events tomorrow. Cuppa & a Chat - Topic :Sleep and 11am kids and parents yoga. Hope to see you then. Verity

11.01.2022 Thanks for joining us for Friday playgroup at the CFC today. We were blessed with beautiful weather and lots of smiling faces and curious learners.

11.01.2022 Get Active Program - Super Mums & Super Kids - Week 4, and the final session for 2020. The discussion was around self care and stress management. We had Jacinda from Relationships Australia come and have discussion with the group along with a visual demonstration of some of the things we need to remember as mums. ... It was a real eye opening! The group made face masks to take home and use, and the kids decorated the containers for them. ... If you are interested in this program for Term 1, 2021 then please come and speak with Verity on a Thursday or Friday. If you are not sure if it is your thing, then why not come down to the CFC on Thursday when we will be using the conference rooms at 11am to do an active parents/kids session. Thanks Womensport and Recreation Tasmania for this opportunity to run this Super Mums & Super Kids program.

09.01.2022 Merry Christmas to our Ravenswood CFC families!

09.01.2022 We would love as many of our CFC families as possible to take a few minutes to fill in this survey about programs at the Ravenswood CFC. Tell us what you loved about 2020 and what you'd like to see for 2021. https://freeonlinesurveys.com/s/lOTH8BOX (Survey closes on Friday 15th January).... If you are happy to add your name at the end, you can go into the draw for a family session pass to the Launceston Aquatic Centre or a $25 Woolworths voucher. The information you share will help us to plan programs for this year. Information on term one programs will be available in a couple of weeks so keep an eye out. There will be a few program changes and day changes for some programs due to new staff work days.

08.01.2022 While our regular term programs are not running during the school holidays, you can pop in for a cuppa and a play or come along on Tuesday for music and movement or on Friday for a playgroup session. We ask families to please remember that our space and resources are designed for children from Birth - 5 years old. If you need to attend an appointment with older children, they must remain with you, under supervision of parents/carers at all times. We thank you for respecting the space of our youngest visitors.

07.01.2022 How many of these can you tick off this coming week? What is your child's favourite thing from this list? I know my kids especially benefit from getting out into nature with sunlight, even if they think they don't want it :) One needs lots of cuddles and another doesn't like hugs but thrives on the routines and rituals we have in our house. ~ Donna

05.01.2022 Our KEY MESSAGE is all about READING. When reading books with children we can bring their attention to the print or words by talking about the size, colour and shape of the font. We can point to the words and count them. What else can you do to bring attention to the words?

04.01.2022 Week 2 of our Community Cooking for Children, facilitated by the wonderful Danielle, was a big success. Lots of children had a taste of the foods they were using, which can be a huge experience for children, and some children even finished off their healthy treats. Lots of new skills, like cutting and chopping and peeling, are being learnt and practised in this program and we are very lucky to have this opportunity. We will have one more cooking session on Friday Dec 11th for this year and will welcome Danielle back in 2021 to continue the program.

03.01.2022 We all need to work on keeping our emotions and behaviours calm and consistent and our children need a little bit more help to be able to learn how to manage this for themselves. Here's some of the basic things children need our support with to manage their big feelings.

02.01.2022 First aid for 4 & 5 year olds is on today at 12.30pm at 1.15pm. There are plenty of spaces in both sessions and it is completely FREE to attend. These sessions are aimed to start the conversations on where and who to call on for help in an emergency. The sessions are being run by St Johns First Aid and are 30mins in length.... Hope to see you then. - Verity

01.01.2022 UPDATE!!!! Thank you to everyone who has registered an interest in the Let's Splash program for term 4. Sadly we will not have places for everyone who is interested. We will let families know if we have a place for you by Tuesday 6th October. If you do not live in the Ravenswood CFC area, or your child has had a turn already, sadly we cannot offer you a place in this program. ...

Cheers, Donna (Centre Leader)
