Have you heard about our Veggie Fun Program? Centres are entering the 7th month of our Veggie Fun Program for 2026. Throughout the month, our Kindy children will discover how sprouts grow from tiny seeds, learn about the different varieties and enjoy hands-on experiences of sprouting their very own Rye seeds! Packed with nutrients and full of flavour, sprouts are a wonderful way to introduce children to growing and exploring fresh foods. By learning, growing and cooking together, children develop a greater connection to ingredients and a wider appreciation for seasonal produce.

🐟✨ Creating Our Own Fish Skin – Senior Toddlers ✨🐟
Our Senior Toddlers have been getting creative with a hands-on sensory experience, making their very own colourful fish skin. Using play dough and textured materials, the children explored different colours, patterns and sensations as they pressed, sprinkled and decorated their creations.

This engaging experience supported fine motor development, sensory exploration, creativity and hand-eye coordination, while encouraging the children to investigate the different textures and patterns we might find under the sea. 🌊

At PA, we love providing playful opportunities that allow our children to explore, create and learn together. 💙

🌈 Little Hands, Big Discoveries! 🔴🟡🔵

Our little learners have been busy exploring colour, shape, textur and movement through hands-on play. As the children reach, grasp, move and investigate the colourful resources, they are strengthening their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and problem-solving abilities while learning alongside their friends.

These simple, open-ended experiences provide wonderful opportunities for children to make choices, explore at their own pace and build confidence through discovery. 💚

At PA Hospital Early Education Centre, every moment of play is an opportunity to wonder, explore and learn together. ✨

Healthy Eating Starts Early at QCCS! 🥦🍅🥕
We love seeing our little learners enjoy nutritious, balanced meals each day, full of fresh ingredients and flavours they know and love. Good food helps support growing bodies, busy brains and lots of happy moments at mealtimes.

Families can enjoy the same meals at home too! Order directly from 👉 www.healthycookingco.com.au
Wholesome food. Smiling faces. Strong little learners.

🐯 Wild Adventures & Imaginative Play 🦒🌿

Our outdoor space has transformed into a wonderful wildlife adventure. Through exploring the animals, natural greenery and open-ended environment, our children can create their own stories, investigate different animals and bring their imaginations to life. 🦓🐘

Experiences like this encourage language development, creativity, problem-solving and social connections, while giving children the freedom to explore and lead their own learning.

At PA Hospital Early Education Centre, we believe thoughtfully created environments inspire curiosity, wonder and endless possibilities for play. 🌿💚

🐟🎨 Fishy Art Fun in Our Senior Toddlers Room! 🎨🐟
Our Senior Toddlers had a wonderful time exploring a fish-themed art experience.

Using paint, brushes and a variety of loose parts, the children created colourful fish and explored different shapes, patterns, colours and textures. They enjoyed making their own marks and using their imagination to bring their underwater creations to life.

This hands-on experience encouraged fine motor skills, creativity, hand-eye coordination and self-expression, while introducing the children to the wonderful world beneath the sea. 🐟🐚💕

🍕 Junior Toddlers Pizza-Making Experience! 🍕
Our Junior Tots had so much fun exploring pizza making through playdough and loose parts.
