🍓🥝 Mud Kitchen Open 🥝🍓

Today, our Kindy children were so excited to open up their mud kitchen! They had a blast looking through the menu to see what they could create, and even washed up the dishes when finished!

✋ Child Rights 💚

This week, we received a special package from Children’s Rights Queensland! Our little learners were excited to open up and share what was inside.

Children’s Rights Queensland was founded in 1971 and has a long-standing commitment to advancing children’s rights through education and awareness.

🌈 Potion Play ✨

Our Kindergarten children have recently been exploring fairy gardens. Potion play is a great extension of the mystical wonders of the world. It offers a variety of benefits, including creativity, expression, cause and effect, and introduces early science concepts.

🌿 Exploring in Nature 🍂

Today, our Nursery children basked in the autumn air whilst exploring one of natures greatest tools, clay!

Watching our little learners squeeze, smash, drip and mould clay together was memorable. Using raw materials allows the children to explore the world around them whilst learning new skills and techniques.

🍪 Recipe Bags 🥣

At Cottage, we have recently introduced our recipe bags to support our families to connect on a weekend.

Since our families love Chef Nic’s Choc Chip Cookies, we thought this would be a great one to use for our first recipe bag.

🔴🟡⚫️ Reconciliation Week 🟢⚪️🔵

In recognition of Reconciliation Week, our Kindergarten children engaged in an art experience which explored culture, reason, colour, and nature.

This experience opened the minds of our little learners to the events and challenges in the world around them.

📗 National Simultaneous Storytime 🦘

For the 2026 National Simultaneous Storytime, we invited Miss Kirt to our centre to read Luna Roo to our Kindergarten children.

Storytelling promotes creativity, enhances language development, and supports the growth of emotional intelligence.

🖤❤️💛💚💙🤍 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.

🌟 Join Us for National Simultaneous Storytime! 🌟

Today at 12 PM AEST, we are excited to participate in the National Simultaneous Storytime by reading "Luna Roo: The Kangaroo Baller"! 📚

This special event brings together children, parents, and educators from across Australia to celebrate the joy of reading. Luna Roo’s adventures inspire teamwork, courage, and the love of storytelling. Happy reading! 🌈📖

🐝 World Bee Day 🌼

Today, our Toddler children engaged in an unboxing experience with Miss Georgia to celebrate World Bee Day! The children gathered before opening our beautiful gift from the team at Teralba Park Honey.

The children enjoyed having a taste of their locally grown honey fresh from the jar before we ventured outside to see if we could spot any bees in our outdoor environment.
