As a not‑for‑profit, every dollar we earn is reinvested to improve outcomes – from high‑quality learning and educator development to extra support for children who need it most.

The research is clear 📚 reading aloud is one of the most powerful things we can do for our children.

When we read with a child, we’re doing far more than sharing a story. We’re building the foundations for language, confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

Decades of research shows that children who are read to regularly:

💛 Build stronger language skills
Hearing rich varied language in books exposes children to far more words than everyday conversation alone. This growing vocabulary helps them understand, communicate and make sense of the world.

💛 Develop early literacy skills long before they learn to read
Through stories, children learn how books work – that print carries meaning, that pages turn left to right, and that stories have a beginning, middle and end. These early understandings make learning to read feel familiar and exciting.

💛 Strengthen phonological awareness
Rhymes, rhythms and playful sounds help children hear the building blocks of language.

💛 Grow their comprehension and thinking skills
Talking together about a story, predicting what might happen, wondering how a character feels, and connecting events to real life helps children develop memory, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking.

💛 Experience connection, comfort and joy
Shared reading fosters calmness, closeness, and moments of joint attention. These warm interactions support a child's sense of security and belonging.

Most importantly, children who experience positive, engaging reading moments from a young age are more likely to develop a genuine love of books - something that matters even more than early literacy skills alone.

Reading is simple, joyful, and sets children up for success in school and life.

🌱 Our Garril children have been busy exploring measurement through a hands-on mung bean growing experiment! 📝

Working in small groups, they carefully nurtured their seeds from soaking and sprouting to planting in cups. By measuring and recording their growth in journals, the children were thrilled to discover their mung beans have now reached 7 cm tall and grown their first two leaves - little scientists in action! 💚📏

Our Dibbil children are continuing their current interest in Sea Animals through exploring an ocean-themed sensory tray filled with coloured sand, sea creatures, shells, pinecones, and natural materials. As they played, they created underwater habitats, discovered different sea animals, and shared ideas with friends about where the animals lived. Children used their hands and fingers to make waves and patterns in the sand, while engaging in imaginative storytelling and collaborative play. The sensory experience encouraged curiosity, creativity, and meaningful conversations about marine life and caring for our natural environments.

🌊 Under the Sea Adventure 💙

Our Nguyi children explored the wonders of the ocean through stories, animal yoga and a sensory hunt for turtles and sharks hidden beneath the leaves. 🐢🦈

They also had so much fun with sticky cornflour messy play, building their sensory skills. Inspired by family feedback, we’re excited to continue offering more messy play experiences for our children!

Our Dubbil children were engaged in decorating Boomerangs Inspired by *Hello and Welcome* – NAIDOC Week

Learning Objectives
1. Children use language to communicate ideas and interact with others. (EYLF 5.1)
2. Children develop confidence and agency in expressing themselves. (EYLF 4.1)
3. Children develop respectful and cooperative relationships. (EYLF 2.1)
4. Children develop social and emotional wellbeing. (EYLF 3.1)

What's Happening?

Children decorated boomerangs using watercolours and small sponges, inspired by the book *Hello and Welcome*. They talked with friends about colours, patterns, and pictures from the story, including dots, feathers, and purple. After educators demonstrated a sponge painting technique, many children confidently copied the process, counting to five before applying paint to create brighter colours and unique designs.

Analysis
3–5 Outcomes
Confident Learners, Effective Communicators, Connected & Contributing

EYLF Outcomes
2.1: Developed respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
4.1: Showed curiosity, creativity, and confidence while exploring art techniques.
5.1: Used language to communicate ideas and engage with peers.
