Habitat Early Learning Ferny Grove

We were delighted to welcome the Prep children from Ferny Grove State School for a special visit, and it was extra special seeing familiar faces from our 2025 cohort!

The purpose of the visit was all about sharing play-based learning in action. The children dived into hands-on exploration, collaborating, creating, problem-solving, and of course—learning through play in the most natural and engaging way.

Thank you Ferny Grove State School for a beautiful morning 🫶

We are proud to have partnered with the Lions Clubs International to support free vision screening for children from 3 years of age.

This program supports the early detection of vision and eye conditions in young children, enabling children a positive start to their learning and development. We are incredibly grateful to the Lions Club for offering this service to the Habitat community.

Did you know it’s World Insect Week next week? 🐞

The children have already started exploring the amazing world of bugs and insects, showing so much curiosity and excitement as they discover what makes these tiny creatures so fascinating. We can’t wait to see their learning continue to grow and come to life throughout the weeks ahead!

Under 8’s Day celebration at St Andrew's School - Ferny Grove 🎉

The children enjoyed an action-packed excursion filled with hands-on experiences and plenty of smiles. They loved exploring the emergency services as well as so many other fun activities.

One of our future Preppies said “that was the best morning I have ever had!” Thanks St Andrew’s for being so welcoming and supporting successful transitions to school.

Ready, set...READ! 📚

We had so much fun celebrating National Simultaneous Storytime with Luna Roo. Children and staff came dressed in their favourite sports gear, with plenty of State of Origin colours bringing extra team spirit to the day. A winning combination of books and sports!

Our Kindy children had a very special visit last week from Edy, our Building Supervisor, who came along to lead a hands-on safety induction session in preparation for the upcoming Manual Arts Program.

From the moment he walked in, the children were curious and engaged, eager to hear from someone who helps keep our environments safe every day. Edy spoke with the children about important safety habits such as how to hold the tools, safety equipment and ways to be safe and inclusive around others.

The Manual Arts Program is a fantastic opportunity for our youngest learners to explore creativity whilst developing important fine motor skills. We’re so grateful to Edy for taking the time to support our learners. The excitement is already building for what’s to come in Manual Arts!
