Red Nose Disco 2026 🔴

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Friday for our Red Nose Disco! We loved an evening of dancing, games and family fun. 💃🕺

It was lovely to come together while also supporting Red Nose Australia and the important work they do to help keep babies and young children safe.

Our fundraising page is open throughout August, so there is still time to donate! If you would like to support our fundraiser, please use the link below. Every donation helps. ❤️

🎨 Creative Minds at Work 🎨

At Okeedokee, all children are encouraged to use mark making as a way to explore their ideas, express themselves and let their creativity lead the way.

Every piece of artwork gives us a little glimpse into how our children see and understand the world around them, from the things they notice to the ideas that spark their imagination.

Curious to see how we support children to express themselves and explore their ideas? We would love to welcome you for a tour. Give us a call or email our team to arrange a visit.

🌿 Connecting With Nature 🌿

There is so much for children to discover in the natural world. Recently, our children have been exploring nature through animal playdough, leaf collages, indoor planting and seed experiments.

These hands-on experiences encourage the children to slow down, observe closely, ask questions and discover what happens when they care for something and watch it grow.

At Okeedokee, we take pride in sharing opportunities for all children to connect with nature in meaningful ways, allowing curiosity to lead their learning.

We currently have spaces available across our centre and would love to welcome your family to Okeedokee.

🔢 Exploring Numeracy Through Play🔢

Our children have been discovering just how naturally numeracy can become part of their play. While exploring plants and gardens, they have been ordering the stages of a plant’s life cycle, measuring their growing plants and matching seeds to different quantities.

These hands-on experiences are helping children build their understanding of numbers, measurement and sequencing whilst following their curiosity about the natural world.

💚 Kindness in Action 💚
As part of our Early Years Wellbeing Program with The Resilience Project, our children have been exploring their kindness and empathy superpowers and learning how we can use them to care for others.

Over the past month, our Okeedokee community has come together to donate clothing and essential items for Baby Give Back. Through conversations about helping others, the children have been learning that kindness can make a difference and that even small actions can have a big impact!

We were delighted to welcome Tiffany from Baby Give Back yesterday, our Preschool helpers proudly filled her delivery truck with all our generous donations collected from our wonderful community.

A wonderful reminder that kindness goes a long way, and together we can support others in meaningful ways!
