Hello... Galang Nguruindhau [Gah-Lung Noo-Roon-Die] 🌿

We had the beautiful opportunity to welcome Turrbal Elder Refiti to Edge Grange.

She shared words from Turrbal language, stories of Country, and ways we can show respect for the land and all that grows upon it.

The children listened, asked questions, moved their bodies to the rhythm of the clapping sticks, and even learned to sing "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" in Turrbal language.

At Edge Grange, connection is at the heart of everything we do. Connection to our land, our friends, our families and our Elders.

Something special is taking shape at Edge Pimpama. 🌳

We are thrilled to share that a beautiful mural is being created for our centre by Vanessa from the Wiradjuri mob — and behind it is a story worth telling.

It begins with a little seed that drifted down the Coomera River long ago and grew into a mighty fig tree. A tree that watched the Kombumerri people fish, farm and care for the land. A tree that saw families gather, children play and generations of stories unfold along the river.

The tree grew strong. And it still stands today, as children from many different families and many different cultures play in its branches together.

We cannot wait to share the finished piece! Watch this space.

🌻 Laidley Spring Festival 🌻

Our team and families dressed as farmers and took to the streets with what we can only describe as the most colourful and epic float ever. From children's artwork to milk bottle corn, every detail was crafted with love by our community.

The Kindy children from Edge Grange headed off on an exciting adventure to Wilston State School. 💚

They explored the playground and discovered a ball-launching activity where pressing down with their feet sent a ball flying into the distance. The fascination, the turn-taking, the pure delight of figuring it out. This is learning in action.

School excursions give children a wonderful chance to:
💚 Build confidence and familiarity with school
💚 Develop relationships with prep teachers and children
💚 Strengthen their sense of belonging
💚 Explore what their transition to school might look and feel like

🏴‍☠️ Ahoy, mateys!

Last week, children across our centres, including our crew at Edge Karana Downs, set sail for a day of giggles and imaginative play as they celebrated Talk Like a Pirate Day.

From "arrr's" and treasure hunts to pirate hats and playful banter, the day was full of laughter, storytelling and dress-up fun. Behind the silliness, these kinds of imaginative play experiences help children build language skills, confidence and social connection.

In August, the Edge North Harbour community held an in-centre Ooshie swap.

The remaining Ooshies were then donated to a school in Vanuatu, thanks to one of our grandparents who regularly volunteers there. We love that a small moment of joy at our centre found its way to children in another country. 💚

Meet Ashleigh. 💚

Nine years ago, Ash walked into Edge as a Lead Educator. Two weeks later, she was Centre Director.

She has since led three of our centres and currently calls Edge Grange home. Her story is one of fast-tracked career progression, the power of great mentors, and a genuine love for the children and families she serves every day.

🏴‍☠️ Ahoy, little pirates! ⚓️

Edge Port Adelaide set sail for Talk Like a Pirate Day. They coloured their very own pirate hats, each one as unique as the pirate wearing it. Then it was time to set sail on a treasure hunt, with pirate music guiding the way.

The highlight of the day? Hidden treasure (toys) frozen inside ice cubes, that they melted with water and spoons to free every last piece of treasure. Fine motor skills, problem-solving and pure joy, all in one activity.

"Is my child ready for school?"

At Edge, our educators have had this conversation with many families. You're not alone, and there's no single right answer.

Our Head of Quality and Practice, Kylie Warren-Wright, has been in your shoes as a parent. Her advice: school readiness is about far more than age or academics.

If you've had this thought, this guide is for you:

There's something special about getting together outside the centre walls.

Last month, Edge Grange's Inclusion Champion Group hosted a family BBQ at a local park, bringing children, families, and educators together for food, fun and connection. 💚
