24.01.2022 What does your child need? If children feel unwell, they should stay home to rest. A sore throat, headache, runny nose, body aches, fever and/or a cough all ...point to the same thing: kids shouldnt be at school. So keep them at home and let them take what they need to feel better (whether thats or ).

24.01.2022 Our science area. This term we are going to be learning about silkworms, observing how they grow, noticing and observing change.

22.01.2022 How to talk to your child at every age

22.01.2022 Sensory experiences: This week the children enjoyed participating in making and exploring slime!

21.01.2022 Today’s revelations about an infected individual lying to authorities and deliberately misleading our contact tracing team are deplorable and utterly unacceptab...le. To say that I am fuming about the actions of this individual is an understatement. South Australian jobs, businesses, and lives have been put on hold, because of this disgraceful behaviour. For many, this week has been one of the hardest weeks since the pandemic began. I have said from day one that we will not hesitate to act on the expert public health advice, because keeping the people of SA Safe and Strong is our highest priority. That unequivocal health advice was clear, we needed a circuit breaker to deal with this new Parafield Cluster. That was the absolute correct decision based on the information available at the time. But the investigations did not stop there. SA Health contact tracers have continued detailed case histories with confirmed cases. What those investigations showed is that one of the close contacts linked to the Woodville Pizza bar deliberately misled our contact tracing team. Their story didn’t add up. We pursued them. We now know that individual lied. I stress this point this is still a dangerous cluster and our health experts remain concerned. We are still trying to locate thousands of people who may have had dangerous contact at the Woodville Pizza bar. Even more, now that we know that the person lied we need to find and isolate a whole new group of his associates. We are still urging South Australians to get tested. But just as we have acted immediately to put restrictions in place to keep South Australia safe, we are going to act to lift them much sooner than previously advised. I will not allow the disgraceful conduct of one individual to keep South Australia in these circuit breaker conditions one day longer than is necessary. People can now leave their homes to exercise - and can do so with other members of their household. There will be further lifting of restrictions from midnight on Saturday night, which we will keep you informed on. I couldn’t be prouder of the way South Australians have worked together this week, and throughout the entire year. Let’s not allow this one individual to taint our collective achievements. Let’s remain united in keeping SA safe and strong.

21.01.2022 Gastro is a common illness which may be particularly serious for those who are vulnerable, such as young children and older people. Gastro usually lasts 1 or 2 ...days and can generally be treated at home. Please seek medical advice if you are concerned and if there are any of the following symptoms in children: dehydration, such as increased thirst and decreased urination, lethargy, dry mouth, sunken eyes, or feeling faint on standing fever abdominal pain excessive or prolonged duration vomiting and/or diarrhoea bloody diarrhoea. For children less than 12 months of age: please seek medical advice if there are any of the above symptoms. Most of the gastro outbreaks we are currently seeing in South Australia are likely caused by norovirus infection. If norovirus is the suspected or confirmed cause of a gastro outbreak, the recommended exclusion period is 48 hours. It is important for people with viral gastro to stay home until they are feeling better and have not had diarrhoea or vomiting for at least 24 hours. Learn more about symptoms, treatment and prevention of: Viral gastro: https://bit.ly/38xE5e7 Norovirus: https://bit.ly/38xYGPk

16.01.2022 From 7 Aug 2020, it will be mandatory for children attending an early childhood service to be up-to-date with vaccinations. Parents are required to provide appr...oved immunisation records upon enrolment, and at other specific ages throughout the childs attendance at: childcare centres family day care pre-schools kindergartens early learning centres Early childhood services are also required to keep a copy of all approved immunisation records for the duration a child is enrolled in their service. Retaining immunisation records onsite will enable a faster response time during a vaccine preventable disease outbreak, and help protect vulnerable children. An approved immunisation record is a childs immunisation history statement from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR): https://bit.ly/31tPvw9 Check the AIR to see your childs records, and talk to your immunisation provider to ensure your child is fully immunised. Read through our parent and carer FAQs here: https://bit.ly/2ZjseKV

14.01.2022 Hi all, while lock down has been lifted, please remember that we're still at a higher danger point Covid wise than we've been all year! We are relying on everyone to do the right thing. If you or your child is even slightly unwell please stay home and adhere to advice from SA health. Social distancing protocols are still in place and as of tomorrow children are to be dropped off and picked up at the front door. Please stay safe and well and we look forward to opening our doors again tomorrow and welcoming all children

11.01.2022 Helpful resource!

10.01.2022 Too often, I see children reprimanded when they're not able to control their behaviours and emotions. Theyre expected to remain calm and happy, not get upset, ...not display anger, and quickly calm themselves down if they do get angry or upset. If they cant do this, they may be referred to me for "self-regulation difficulties". Here's the thing. Self-regulation is a developmental process. Just as we wouldnt expect a child to run before they can walk, we cannot expect children to self-regulate until theyve experienced co-regulation time and time again. Unless a child has had it modelled enough, and their brain has developed enough, they will not achieve regulation on their own. Have a think - when was the last time you heard a 3 year old say Im so angry my sister hit me! I need to calm down. Im just going to take myself to the kitchen for a drink of water and do some deep breaths. Co-regulation begins from birth. When babies are unsettled and we cuddle them, rock them, feed them - we are helping them to regulate. When toddlers are angry that they can't have the toy they want, and we empathise with them, sit with them, get them a drink - we are helping them to regulate. When preschoolers are upset because they're not ready to leave their playdate, and we listen and help them take deep breaths - we are helping them to regulate. Self-regulation only BEGINS to emerge around 4-5 years. And whilst some 4-5 year olds may be able to regulate themselves, others may not be able to. Both are within the typical range of development. True self-regulation is not fully established until our mid-twenties. Even then, we often turn to others to help us feel better when we are feeling low. And we are often quite happy to help other adults feel better when they're feeling low, however when children need our help, we may be reluctant to give it, perhaps in fear that we will stunt their emotional resilience (amongst many other unfounded but understandable fears). When we ask a child to regulate themselves before they're ready, we risk shaming them, affecting their self-esteem, and affecting their relationship with us. Co-regulation needs to come first. You may not be able to help your child regulate 100% of the time, and thats okay. Just know that they may not be ready to do it themselves.

08.01.2022 Dear Parents and Carers, I hope that you have had the chance to enjoy time with your children during the school holiday period. The COVID-19 pandemic is, and w...ill continue to be, a very worrying time for many parents and carers as we see the devastation caused by this virus around the world. Importantly, schools are a central part of a childs life. They provide stability, a sense of achievement and a rich learning environment for every child. This is especially important at a time when many children and young people are feeling stressed about COVID-19 and worried about what the future may hold. We have been lucky in South Australia to now have very low numbers of positive cases in our state. This is the result of closing both the national and state borders, having effective quarantine processes, having many people in our community coming forward for testing and having every single one of you reducing your travel, practicing social distancing and good hygiene. Please keep it up, we have achieved a lot, but there is still a long way to go before we can say it is over. Thank you for all that you and your family are doing. My job is to ensure that the South Australian community stays as healthy and disease free as possible. Together with the other Chief Health Officers in other States and Territories, I have weighed up the pros and cons of children attending school. With the very low levels of COVID-19 in South Australia along with the wider public health strategies in South Australia, I strongly believe there is no need for school closures in this state, at this time. Even when we had higher rates of disease in South Australia, only 2% of cases were school students, all of whom had mild illness and have fully recovered. I encourage families to feel comfortable and safe about sending their children to school. However, if your child has a chronic medical condition or a compromised immune system, you may wish to consult your GP or paediatrician when deciding if your child should return to school. I have been working closely with the Department for Education to make schools as safe as possible for everyone. This includes increased cleaning, making sure there is soap, sanitiser and tissues for students and staff, having protocols in place to practice social distancing, not having large gatherings of the school community and teaching children, however young, to avoid passing on germs. We have a clear protocol for a minimum 24-hour closure in the event of a case of COVID-19 in a school, to allow us to contact anyone at risk and to undertake a deep clean. These protocols have been used six times without fail. If your child/children are well, I encourage you to send them back to school or preschool this term. If they have symptoms of a cold or have a fever, keep them at home until they are better plus get them tested for COVID-19. I wish you and your child/children all the very best in health and education for term 2. Yours sincerely, Professor Nicola Spurrier Chief Public Health Officer Health Regulation and Protection

07.01.2022 This is what research tells us!

07.01.2022 We love all ou babies to visit us at kindy, thanks George.

06.01.2022 Early educators... we have such an incredible role to play in childrens lives...

06.01.2022 The weather is forecast to be hot this weekend. If you need to get a COVID-19 test, plan ahead. Check the weather. Get tested early or in the evening during t...he coolest part of the day. Victoria Park/Pakapakanthi drive-through is open 24 hours today and Saturday 21 November. Some drive-through and mobile testing sites may need to close temporarily this weekend due to weather to protect our staff. Follow our Facebook and Twitter pages for the latest updates. It is important to get tested if: You have any symptoms of COVID-19, even if mild, as soon as symptoms appear. You have been asked by SA Health to get a test. Find a location to get tested: www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/covidtesting If you need to get tested: Please be patient with staff who are working hard to organise logistics and collect samples. Be prepared for your visit by bringing water and snacks. If you are attending a walk-in site, bring sun protection (sunscreen, hat, umbrella) and a chair. Keep 1.5 metres between yourself and others in line and wear a mask if possible. Motorists are reminded to not queue across intersections, ensure that you leave enough distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you, drive slowly through the testing sites and ensure you have enough fuel if waiting in line at a drive-through clinic. After your test: Go straight home. Avoid contact with other people. Stay in self-isolation until you receive a negative test result (in certain cases you may be required to remain in self-isolation or self-quarantine if directed to do so by SA Health or SA Police, even if you receive a negative test result). Information on how to self-isolate/self-quarantine: www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/covidisoadvice If you are well but worried, contact the SA COVID-19 Mental Health Support Line on 1800 632 753

06.01.2022 There is a lack of equality when it comes to children's access to play... it should not be a luxury, but yet the full experience of play seems to have become just that for far too many children... otherism is denying children access to their right to play

06.01.2022 The magic of loose parts play! Today the children designed their own Christmas trees using a variety of materials. Through intentional teaching, careful planning and scaffolding ,educators design a learning environment that promotes higher order thinking, encouraging children to move beyond stencils, embracing their creativity and imagination

04.01.2022 Today was pyjama day , we read Give A Pig a Pancake, cooked some piklets, and had a nice surprise, one of butterflies hatched.

01.01.2022 Why do we as adults get upset when someone treats us like a child? Is it because that person is patronizing us? Ordering us around? Ignoring our opinions? Dis...missing our feelings? Demeaning, intimidating, manipulating, ridiculing, or otherwise bullying us? Pause and think about that for a minute. Why is it that thats what comes to mind when we think about someone treating us like a child? Shouldnt words like tenderness, kindness, love, and respect come to mind when we think about how children are treated? If being treated like a child is such an insult, its time to change the way we treat children, dont you think?

01.01.2022 Children have enjoyed playing with the new home corner furniture. They have also been learning about caterpillars and butterflies and are excited about observing the caterpillars in the aquarium some are beginning to form a chrysalis.
