25.01.2022 I'd like to share a totally unplanned learning story with you all..Liam bought some mandarins to share with the group today. They were huge and Liam had picked them from his very own tree. The children were able to tell me what colour they were and had the greatest time counting them. Then came the best part peeling and eating the mandarins. They learnt about the seeds inside and how to pop them out and when you plant the seeds they grow into new mandarins trees. The children want to plant the seeds in our little garden, although last time we did that with lemons seeds, it took us 7years to get a lemon. A learning story that started from a few simple mandarins and a little boy with a big heart Family Day Care ~ creating special moments together xx

24.01.2022 The kids are super excited everytime we get a new delivery of Toilet Paper etc. from these guys! Thank goodness they can't read yet

24.01.2022 It's been a busy morning at Vicki's Place our awesome little "coffee shop" has done a roaring trade (they serve the best coffee by the way) and we've enjoyed a fun little play date with Lela & her Mum

24.01.2022 A little fishing from our backyard today

23.01.2022 As a mother of four sons, I love this

22.01.2022 A simple craft idea with paper plates Paper plates are cheap, easy to obtain, and super versatile, making them one of the best craft supplies for doing projects or just with kids in general

22.01.2022 Everybody knows kids are sponges, but they are also little mirrors. They reflect everything they see and emulate our words and actions

22.01.2022 Help little ones develop motor and problem-solving skills with engaging puzzle play!

21.01.2022 The nights might be a little chilly but the days are absolutely gorgeous

21.01.2022 Smiles are the first building blocks of warm, loving and responsive relationships

21.01.2022 Today we made fresh banana muffins to warm our tummies The kids loved them Cooking is great fun for kids of all ages, even toddlers Getting your little ones started in the kitchen at a young age is a great way to get them interested in food and to pick up important skills for later in life xx

21.01.2022 Beautiful fresh flowers hand delivered by our wonderful coordinators with Whitsunday Shire Family Day Care Made my day xx

21.01.2022 The children are loving their new dress up station... Dress-up play isn't just fun for little kids, it's an important activity where they use their imaginations, build vocabulary skills, gain confidence, and more. ... Dramatic dress-up play is roleplaying and storytelling that helps children develop ideas about how the world works..

21.01.2022 This was my first profile photo x how I miss these beautiful kids

21.01.2022 Sometimes kids (& their parents) need a dose of humour, instruction, and inspiration to move the potty training process along. This book is full of bright graphics, simple language and a fun story. The children absolutely loved it and even I learnt something new. Did you know that whales poo pink?

20.01.2022 Absolutely!..30 yrs of loving all my 'kids'

20.01.2022 Today we made Beef Stew with lots of fresh veggies & herbs from our little garden.The kids chopped & diced like little Master Chefs, I was so proud of them.They tasted every vege we put into the stew..They werent real sure of the onion, it made their eyes tingle they said At Vicki's Place the children are introduced to cooking from a very early age and it is certainly evident with this group of 2 & 3 yr olds ~ their skill level is amazing, their quite confident little cook...s and have a great understanding of their food and where it comes from.. Cooking together as a "family" brings everyone together and creates a bonding experience. It encourages an interest in food, healthy eating habits and skills for life.. Please Note: Supervision, Safety and Hygiene are essential when we cook with children ~ A Risk Management Plan is in place every time we cook, children are constantly supervised and handwashing procedures etc.are strictly adhered too ~ See more

19.01.2022 Another perfect morning at the beach sun, sand and watching the big diggers rebuild our seawall

19.01.2022 CREATING WITH NATURAL MATERIALS We enjoy going on walks, observing the natural world, collecting treasures and creating art inspired by nature..Kids love to create with material they have collected themselves. With every new texture, sensation and item they discover, toddlers are building an understanding of the world around them..Today I added a few natural earthy tones of paint, a peice of hessian we found and gave the kids free range to create. I loved watching their masterpeice evolve and how each child approached their creativity in their own unique style xx

18.01.2022 Definitely an inside day today time to brush upon our pencil skills Developing & strenghtening fine motor skills are super important.Kids need strong hands and fingers for a whole range of day-to-day activities for school and play. Having strong wrists, hands and fingers helps children hold their pencil functionally, as well as helping them write with endurance and fluency.

16.01.2022 Spot on beautiful day at Vicki's Place Just playing & enjoying the sun

16.01.2022 So much excitement on our beach walk this morning, we got to see the big digger at work!! Awesome to watch

14.01.2022 Absolutely luv this

13.01.2022 A peek at our special craft today, each one a unique masterpiece and made with so much love ~Fathers Day Sunday September 6th~

12.01.2022 These lucky kids took a step back in time today to discover what life was like in the olden days with a visit to Harry's Hut ~ they absolutely loved it... It was funny listening to them guess what all these 'strange' things might be used for.

11.01.2022 The beach and the ocean are wonderful for the senses. They are the perfect setting to learn about all kinds of things about the natural world. There are so many natural opportunities to engage in simple beach learning activities. Today we discovered that waves are made by the wind, the tide comes in & then goes out again, we learnt to write our names in the sand and we made animal tracks with our hands, watched the fishermen launch their boats, collected treasures and even saw a mermaid or two so much learning so much fun

11.01.2022 Children are a true gift each one as precious as the next xx

11.01.2022 Mixing Colours Colours are everywhere and it is a wonderful experience for children to see how colours mix & form other colours. Today the girls all chose purple I love that they all ended with different shades

10.01.2022 From a small scribble to a masterpiece that takes pride of place on the fridge, drawing will enhance your childs motor skills from a young age. Starting them as early as possible will help them improve their eye hand coordination, while fine tuning their finger muscles

08.01.2022 Just a little bit of cuteness for the morning xx

08.01.2022 HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY EM XX WE MADE SO MANY SPECIAL MEMORIES SWEETHEART HAVE THE BEST DAY

06.01.2022 Simple fun today with a few leaves, rakes and a fair bit of wind provided lots of laughter, exercise, fresh air and gross motor activity

05.01.2022 No wind at Wilsons today

04.01.2022 With the days getting cooler, nothing warms the tummy like a hearty bowl of beef bone soup. Add plenty of fresh veggies & herbs picked from our very own garden (expertly prepared by the children) and just thrown together in the Pressure Cooker One hour later a melt in the mouth bowl of deliciousness x so so good Letting small hands help prepare their food not only helps to develop healthy eating behaviours & it also assists in vege intake..Today these little ones had a taste of each & every vegies without complain... All the time listening and learning together xx

04.01.2022 "Yabba-Dabba-Doo, It's the Flintstones"

03.01.2022 We are without power all day! ~ so we spent the morning at the beach. We are so lucky to have our very own little peice of paradise literally at our front door. The kids spent the morning exploring new sights, new sounds, listening, learning, understanding, developing empathy and inspiring each other. They built a camp fire, collecting sticks from the beach, toasted marshmallows and were very careful not to burn themselves. Liam kept telling us the fire was very hot.. Young kids learn & grow best through physical play, playing outside, creative play and social time with friends. They develop their imaginations & creativity through play...Childrens' developing imagination is more entertaining than the best cartoon ever made ~ just watch!! My morning was truly awesome, I hope you enjoy the photos x

02.01.2022 Hot day at Vicki's Place So important for kids to drink plenty of cool water early & often during play. Some parents think their children need the electrolytes offered by sports drinks to aid in hydration but experts all agree good old water really is best. Fruits and vegetables are also a good source of water, theres nothing like a peice of cold watermelon for a treat on a hot day or a juicy apple. Just add water play with ice to the mix and the kids will love it safe, happy and healthy children

02.01.2022 Shape recognition for little ones Today we painted circles on a circle and then added more circles Lela was very clever and showed us how to paint Triangles and a Rectangle too

02.01.2022 Another beautiful morning at Vicki's Place

02.01.2022 Bubble Foam is an amazing, messy, sensory experience that uses the senses of touch, sight, smell and sound. It is a textural wonderland that changes and reforms in your hands. Adding colours enables swirls and patterns to form and burying and hiding toys in the foam adds to the sense of discovery & play. Bubble Foam encourages children to manipulate, and mould materials, building their fine motor skills and coordination. This activity creates curiosity in children and enables them to reflect on what they are doing, developing a love of learning and encourages them to take the initiative. To extend the activity, we used multiple trays with different colors and swapped the trays so the colors were mixed together.

01.01.2022 Messy play with a difference! Today we picked the last of our Eggplant from our little vege garden, crumbed it and fried it up for lunch..It was really delicious, the kids loved it! Lots of fun and many new skills learnt. The photos tell the story, so many good ones I couldn't choose. I love the concentration levels on their little faces
