Creating a safe sleep environment is one of the many ways we care for children each day. From following safe sleep practices and using approved cots, to completing visual checks every 5 minutes, our educators take every step to help children rest safely and comfortably.

We also work closely with families to understand each child's individual sleep routine, because feeling safe, settled and well-rested helps children learn, grow and thrive.

💜 Safe sleep is everyone's responsibility, and it's always a priority.

🐾 The Magic of Animals in Early Learning 🐾

There’s something truly special about the bond between children, animals and our community! ❤️ From meeting friendly pets brought in by our families, to watching birds in the garden and discovering tiny insects outdoors, these shared experiences create wonderful opportunities for our children to learn, connect and grow together. 🐾🌱

Animals and nature can help children develop:

🌱 Empathy & kindness – learning to understand and respect the needs of living things.
🧠 Curiosity & cognitive skills – asking questions, observing and discovering how the world works.
💛 Responsibility – understanding that animals need care, food, water and respect.
🏃 Physical skills – exploring outdoors and taking part in hands-on activities.
🔬 Early STEM learning – discovering habitats, life cycles, nature and the environment.

At Children’s Choice, we believe children learn best through experiences that are meaningful, engaging and fun. By bringing nature and animal themes into our learning environments, we help children build confidence, compassion and a lifelong curiosity about the world around them. 🌏✨

🐝 Because sometimes the biggest lessons come from the smallest creatures!

Whether your child is already attending early learning, getting ready to start, or you're still exploring your options, it's natural to have questions.

💭 Will my child feel safe and supported? 💭 How will they cope with new experiences and changes? 💭 What can I do to help them feel confident and settled?

Listen to Episode 1 of What I Wish I Knew... The Early Learning Guide podcast, with child development expert Dr Billy Garvey as he explains why transitions are such an important part of childhood and how strong, supportive relationships help children navigate change with confidence.

From starting early learning to moving rooms, making new friends or tackling other big milestones, transitions are a normal part of growing up. When children feel safe, supported and connected, they're more likely to embrace new experiences, build confidence and develop the resilience they need to thrive.

This week we had a very special incursion visit from Things That Creep and Crawl! The children thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on learning experience, where they had the opportunity to see, touch and learn about a variety of fascinating bugs and insects. It was a wonderful experience that encouraged curiosity, exploration and a deeper appreciation for the little creatures around us.

💛 Happy Early Childhood Educator Day 💛

To our amazing educators,

Today is a special opportunity to say thank you for everything you do, every single day.

Thank you for the patience, kindness, care and compassion you show our children. Thank you for the little moments that make a big difference.

Early childhood education is so much more than a job. You are helping shape little lives, build confidence, nurture curiosity and create a safe place where children can learn, grow and feel that they belong.

We know that some days are challenging, busy and unpredictable, but your dedication to the children and to each other makes a lasting difference. The work you do may not always be seen, but it is incredibly important and deeply valued.

Thank you for being the educators, role models, advocates, carers and champions that our children need.

We are so grateful to have such a wonderful team at Goodstart Early Learning Kelso.

Happy Educator Day!

Ever had one of those "What should I be doing with my child?" moments? You might already have the answer at home.

Earlier this year, every Goodstart family received a What & When for Families guide for each child. If it's been tucked away in a drawer since then, now might be the perfect time to pull it back out.

The guide is packed with simple, play-based activities that support your child's learning and development at home. Best of all, it's written in your child's voice, with ideas tailored to their age and developmental stage.

From singing songs with babies and playing peek-a-boo, to "I Spy" games, storytelling and treasure hunts with older children, the activities are designed to fit naturally into everyday moments you already share together.

We know learning doesn't only happen in the classroom. Those small moments at home can help build big communication, language and literacy skills.

Take another look through your What & When for Families guide to explore age-appropriate activities and learning ideas you can try together.

💛 Sometimes the best learning resource is the one you already have at home.

Our team is always looking for opportunities to grow, learn together and extend our knowledge to better support the children in our service.

Tonight, we attended the Champion Their Play workshop at BECIS, exploring the importance and benefits of play in early childhood and how we can advocate for play, inclusion and equity for every child.

It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect, share ideas and strengthen our practice as educators. We’re excited to take our learning back into the service and continue championing meaningful, inclusive play for every child.
