🐷🐐🐔 Old MacDonald had a farm… and today he brought it to CHCCD! E-I-E-I-O! 🚜🌾

What a day! From cuddly chickens and hungry goats to one VERY popular little piglet, the children absolutely loved getting up close with their new farmyard friends. 🐷💕
But judging by the photos… we’re not entirely sure the children were the most excited! 😂 Our educators were just as quick to sneak in a cuddle, a pat and a little farmyard love. 🥰🐐🐔
Big smiles, gentle hands, lots of laughter and some very special memories made. 💛
Farm day at CHCCD = a definite favourite! 🐷🐥🐐🚜

🏉⚽️ WEAR YOUR FOOTY COLOURS DAY! 💙❤️💚💛

Today CHCCD was a sea of team colours as our children, Dads and educators proudly pulled on their favourite jerseys, scarves and colours to celebrate Wear Your Footy Colours Day! 🌈🏉⚽️
From AFL and NRL to soccer and everything in between, there was plenty of friendly team rivalry, lots of excitement and some very passionate little supporters! 🙌😂
We loved seeing everyone come together for a day filled with fun, footy spirit and community — all while supporting an important cause and raising awareness for the Fight Cancer Foundation. 💛
Because today it wasn’t about which team you barrack for… it was about showing our colours together. 🫶
From the field to the fight — every colour counts! 🎗️

🐾📚✨ HAIRY MACLARY BONUS BOOK WEEK DAY! ✨📚🐾

“Out of the gate and off for a walk…” 🐶🐾
And out of the gate we went for ONE LAST Book Week adventure!
Today we finished our Book Week celebrations with a very special Hairy Maclary Bonus Day, and it felt as though the characters from Donaldson’s Dairy had stepped straight out of the pages and into our centre! ❤️📖
We had Hairy Maclary, Bottomley Potts, Hercules Morse, Muffin McLay, Schnitzel von Krumm and plenty of other familiar furry friends joining in the fun. 🐕🐾 And of course, we had to keep an eye out for that formidable feline… Scarface Claw! 🐈‍⬛😼
What a wonderful way to finish an incredible week of celebrating books, stories, imagination and early literacy.
For our educators, Book Week is so much more than costumes and parades. In the early years, literacy begins long before a child learns to read or write. It grows through conversations, songs, rhymes, storytelling, repetition, dramatic play and the simple joy of sharing a favourite book together. 🌱📚
Stories like Hairy Maclary are perfect examples of how children fall in love with language — through rhythm, rhyme, repetition, funny characters and those wonderful words they soon begin to remember and join in with themselves. ❤️
When our educators dress up, become the characters, retell familiar stories and share in children’s excitement, we’re showing them that books are something to be enjoyed, explored and celebrated. ✨

And with that…
🎬📚 THAT’S A WRAP ON BOOK WEEK 2026! 📚🎬
What an incredible week (plus one!) of stories, characters, laughter, imagination and memories.

Until next year… keep turning those pages! 📖✨🐾

📚✨ BOOK WEEK – DAY 4! ✨📚

Another amazing day of Book Week fun as we continued celebrating our love of early literacy, storytelling and imagination! ❤️📖
Today our centre was once again filled with characters stepping straight from the pages of much-loved stories. We had friends inspired by Dear Zoo, Zog, The Magic Hat and many more! 🦁🐉🎩✨
We also spotted Little Miss Sunshine, some mischievous Minions, mighty superheroes, fabulous flamingos and plenty of other colourful characters roaming around the centre! ☀️💛🦸‍♀️🦩
For our educators, Book Week is about so much more than dressing up. It is an opportunity to make books, language and storytelling exciting and meaningful for our children. When children see the adults around them sharing their enthusiasm for stories, joining in the fun and bringing characters to life, we are helping to nurture that same love of reading and early literacy in them. 🌱📚
Every story shared, character recognised, conversation sparked and imaginary adventure helps build children’s language, communication, creativity and confidence — all while creating some pretty magical childhood memories. 💫
Day 4 was colourful, creative and filled with stories… and we’re still not finished yet! 📖🌈✨

📚✨ BOOK WEEK — DAY 3! ✨📚

Another day, another whole lot of Book Week magic! ❤️
Today we had buzzing bees 🐝, Elmer the Elephant 🐘🌈, a couple of Little Red Riding Hoods ❤️, pirates 🏴‍☠️, The Lorax 🧡 and so many more wonderful characters stepping straight out of the pages of our favourite stories! 📖✨

We just love seeing the creativity, colour and fun that Book Week brings — three days in and we’re definitely not slowing down! 😂📚❤️
I wonder who we’ll see tomorrow… 👀✨

📚✨ BOOK WEEK – DAY 2! ✨📚
The Book Week magic continued today as we celebrated our love of early literacy, favourite stories and much-loved book characters! ❤️📖
Our centre was once again transformed into a world of stories, with Harry Potter, Ruby Red Shoes, Mrs Frizzle, characters from Room on the Broom and so many more making their way through our doors! 🪄👠🚌🧙‍♀️✨

And then there was our Blue Room… ❤️🤍👓
The WHOLE room joined in the fun and became Wally from Where’s Wally? What a sight seeing so many little Wallies together — although finding the real Wally may have been harder than ever! 😂🔍

Book Week is such a wonderful opportunity to bring stories to life. Through dressing up, storytelling, imaginative play and conversations about favourite books, children are building important early literacy skills while discovering just how magical books can be. 🌟
For us, fostering a love of books from the earliest years is about creating joyful experiences and memories that encourage children to become curious, imaginative and enthusiastic lifelong learners. 📚💫
What a magical Day 2 — and there are still so many stories yet to be told! 🌈📖✨

📚✨ BOOK WEEK HAS BEGUN! ✨📚
And what a way to start — with a BANG! 🎉💥
This morning, our whole centre came together for a very special Book Week Yarning, and of course, no Book Week celebration would be complete without a Book Week Parade! 📖🌟
From much-loved classics to superheroes, animals, princesses, adventurers and everything in between, our centre was bursting with colourful characters as our children and educators proudly paraded their costumes. 🦸‍♀️🐻👑🧙‍♀️🐶
There was so much excitement, laughter and conversation as we celebrated the stories and characters that capture our imaginations. ❤️
But behind all the dress-ups and fun is something incredibly important to us as early childhood educators — our strong belief in the importance of early literacy. 📚
Early literacy is so much more than learning to read and write. It begins with sharing stories, singing songs, having conversations, exploring rhyme and language, looking at pictures, retelling favourite tales and developing a lifelong love of books and storytelling.
When we make books exciting, meaningful and FUN, we help children build language, communication, imagination, confidence and a genuine love of learning. 🌱📖
Today was the perfect example of literacy coming to life — children becoming the characters, educators sharing in the magic, and our whole centre celebrating the wonderful world of stories together. ✨
And this is only DAY ONE! We can’t wait to see what the rest of Book Week brings! 🎶📚🌈

🔴🪩 DANCING FOR A CAUSE! 🪩🔴
Today our whole centre turned RED as we came together for our Red Nose Disco! ❤️🎶
From our littlest babies through to our Kindergarten children, the centre was filled with music, dancing, balloons, pom poms, disco props and lots of laughter. Our children danced with their friends, showed off their best moves, joined conga lines and even tested their skills with some limbo! 💃🕺🎈
But behind all the disco fun was a very important cause. ❤️
Our Red Nose Disco was an opportunity for our children, educators and families to come together to raise awareness and funds for Red Nose and their work in reducing sudden infant and child deaths, including SIDS, and supporting families impacted by the loss of a baby or child.
A huge THANK YOU to our wonderful families and community for getting behind our Red Nose fundraising, purchasing merchandise, wearing red and helping us support such an important cause. 🔴
Today we danced, laughed and celebrated together — all while helping to make a difference. ❤️

💙👖 Jeans for Genes Day 2026 👖💙

Today our CHCCD community proudly swapped our everyday clothes for our favourite jeans as we took part in Jeans for Genes Day.
Together, we helped raise awareness for children and families living with genetic conditions while showing that even a simple act, like wearing a pair of jeans, can make a meaningful difference.
Our children loved seeing everyone dressed in denim, and it sparked wonderful conversations about kindness, helping others and how communities can come together to support important causes.
Thank you to all of our amazing children, families and educators who wore their jeans today and helped us stand together for such a worthy cause. 💙
