🍃 PAINTING WITH NATURE 🍃

Our toddlers have been busy exploring new painting methods using natural materials such as sticks, leaves, nuts, and flowers. They enjoyed discovering the different patterns and textures each item created on a large shared canvas.

This experience supported creativity, fine motor development, and sensory exploration while encouraging children to connect with nature. Using materials from our local environment also helped foster an appreciation for the land and supported Aboriginal perspectives through a connection to Country.

🌟 CELEBRATING MILESTONES 🌟

This week we proudly celebrated an amazing milestone — 30 years of dedication, passion, and care from our wonderful educator Emma.

Emma has helped shape the lives of so many children and families through her kindness, patience, creativity, and commitment to early childhood education. Her warm smile, caring nature, and endless support have made a lasting impact on everyone who has had the pleasure of knowing her.

Emma, thank you for the love and dedication you bring to Tiny Tots Academy each and every day. Your hard work and passion do not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our Tiny Tots family 🩷
Congratulations on 30 amazing years — what an incredible achievement!

the children had lots of fun participating in a spontaneous parachute play experience. Together, they worked as a team to keep the ball from rolling off the parachute and enjoyed lifting it high into the air to watch it float like a colourful balloon.

This experience supported teamwork, communication, turn-taking, coordination, and sparked curiosity as the children explored how the parachute trapped air and moved.

Celebrating Our Amazing Mums & Special People 💐

Last week to show our appreciation for the incredible parents, carers, grandparents, and special people in our children’s lives, we prepared a special Breakfast Bar filled with delicious take-home and office-friendly treats.
Families were invited to grab a breakfast treat on their way through the centre — a small gesture to say thank you for all the love, care, and support you give each and every day. ❤️

We hope everyone enjoyed starting their morning with a little something special from us!

Our children explored the sandpit using new tools made from repurposed milk cartons—scooping, pouring, and creating with excitement!

This hands-on experience helps build early awareness of sustainability, showing children how everyday items can be reused while caring for our environment.

🌿 Learning Through Aboriginal Perspectives – Now Enrolling for all ages💧

https://tinytotsacademy.com.au/

To extend the toddlers’ learning about water, they explored Aboriginal symbols through a hands-on matching experience. The children matched symbols on cards to those painted on rocks, discovering representations of rain, waterholes, and rivers while sharing their ideas about their meanings.

They also explored Aboriginal artworks, recognising familiar symbols and discussing the stories they might tell. This experience supported observation skills, early visual literacy, and a respectful appreciation of Aboriginal art and storytelling.

🧡 Celebrating Culture & Connection – Vacancies Available, so book a tour to see us in action:

Since Harmony Week, we have continued exploring what it means to “find harmony” in our diverse community. Through conversations and shared experiences, the children are learning about respect, inclusion, and celebrating differences.

Last week we celebrated the British heritage of some of our families with a special afternoon tea, enjoying English tea and biscuits together.

We look forward to continuing our journey and exploring many more cultures in the weeks ahead!
