Green Leaves Early Learning Newton

This week our nursery children were offered a cause and effect experience encouraging children to roll balls down different ramps.
Children watched how some balls went really quickly down and ramps and other were much slower.
We had some child enjoying collecting duty, running or crawling after the balls.

In June, our Inside Out Program is focusing on natural ingredients and how they benefit our health!
Our Tiny Tots children explored a variety of berries, vegetables, and seeds through hands-on sensory experiences. They also had the opportunity to taste Boost Smoothie made from these healthy ingredients, encouraging them to discover new flavours while learning about nutritious foods that support their wellbeing.
What a wonderful way to nurture healthy eating habits from an early age! 🍓🥕🥬

Our educators displayed art examples for children to use as a guide and provided all the utensils for children to make their own creations.

🖤❤️💛💚💙🤍 At Green Leaves Early Learning, we’re proudly All In for National Reconciliation Week 2026 🖤❤️💛💚💙🤍

From 27 May to 3 June, we come together to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every day.

Reconciliation starts with all of us, including our youngest learners. Through moments of curiosity, storytelling, music, art and connection, children begin to build understanding, respect and a sense of belonging.

Because every small conversation, shared experience and learning moment helps us to build towards a more inclusive future, together.
