Avenues Early Learning Centre - Parkinson

Today, during our excursion for the Transition to Prep lesson, the children learnt the School’s Acknowledgement to Country. They then enjoyed listening to the very funny story Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons before creating their very own person dressed in a school uniform.
The children carefully followed Miss Mary’s five steps and were incredibly proud of their finished creations. On our way back to the bus, we spotted the water bubblers and everyone was excited to have a turn using them.

We all had a wonderful time visiting Algester State School.

What a fantastic day our Kindergarten children had at Stretton Under 8’s Day 🌟

The children enjoyed a fun-filled morning exploring a range of creative and hands-on activities. From face painting and spray painting to threading pasta necklaces, making crowns, dancing, loose parts play, and creating pet rocks. There was something exciting around every corner. 🎨👑🪨✨

So many happy smiles, lots of laughter, and beautiful memories made throughout the day 💛

Today Avenues managers came together for a day of professional development, building knowledge, strengthening connections, and sharing plenty of laughs along the way.

Today we celebrated Mother’s Day with a beautiful afternoon filled with love, laughter and special moments shared with our families.

The children enjoyed painting portraits, creating bracelets, painting nails and participating in a range of meaningful experiences alongside their loved ones. It was a wonderful celebration of the important people in our children’s lives and the memories made together will be treasured for years to come. 💐💕

Today our children enjoyed a hands-on learning experience with Mr David, exploring our native bees and their hives. 🐝

The children helped to carefully open the hives, getting a close-up look inside while learning how these incredible little workers collect pollen and turn it into honey. Tasting the honey was a highlight and very yummy.

We also learnt about the important role native bees play in our environment and why they are so important to our world.

Harvesting and tasting our juicy Tomatoes 🍅
From our Garden to our Plate.

Our Senior toddlers engaged in hands-on learning as they cared for and watered their tomato plants, then explored the taste of their harvest supporting their sense of responsibility, wellbeing, and connection to the natural environment.

Today, Avenues Parkinson proudly marched in the 2026 Calamvale ANZAC Day Service.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our families and children who braved the wet weather to pay their respects. The wreaths laid today were handmade by the children at the centre, making the tribute even more special.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them ❤️

Today we came together as a community for our Anzac Day Ceremony, taking time to reflect, remember and honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who have served.
Each class lovingly handcrafted their own wreath throughout the week, which they proudly laid during the ceremony. Children also placed beautiful crafted poppy flowers in the garden as a symbol of remembrance.
We also created a special remembrance table displaying photos of family members who have served, allowing us to honour personal connections and stories shared within our community.
It was a meaningful morning of respect, reflection and learning as we remembered the spirit of Anzac.
Lest We Forget ❤️
