Welcome back to kindy friends- term two is about to begin,
The holiday is over - let’s get moving people - no more time to sleep in!
We hope you have all enjoyed your break, your rest and your fun,
But Broadbeach Kindy’s doors will open tomorrow and there is so much to be done!

Term two is a wonderful time for busy little fingers,
And a term when mums and dads are welcome to linger.
Our families are invited to come on kindy roster,
Where you get to experience all the learning on offer.

Term two will be filled with lots of activities and exciting things to explore,
With all our children now well settled, comfortable and secure.
The foundations for their learning have been fully entrenched,
And now we expand and extend until their thirst is fully quenched.

We can’t wait to see you all, to hear all the news,
Over each and every one of you we will fully enthuse!
It is time to reconnect with your teachers and friends,
At Broadbeach Kindy - where the fun never ends!

Welcome back to term two families and friends - looking forward to a fabulous and fulfilled term with lots of fun for everyone.
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow 💜

Much love
Kathryne, Libby and Danie

As Cyclone Alfred begins to make a real impact on the Gold Coast we hope all our families and friends are safe, secure and supported. We are thinking of each and every one of you and are grateful to you all for your support and understanding this week as we prepared our beach front kindergarten for the worst. We are confident that our 70 year old building will sustain anything nature throws at it - but if not we will keep you all informed as things develop over the weekend. We wanted to share with you this valuable resource to help your children understand and process what is happening around them. We prepared them as best we could this week but of course - without lived experience it is very difficult for them to understand the consequences of severe weather. See you all on the flip side!

Fire breathing dragons on the prowl at kindy today!

Our beautiful "old" kindy mummy Samantha has a stunning new floral and fragrance business. Sam's daughter Maggie attended Broadbeach Kindergarten in 2023 and she and her family were a joyful asset to our community kindergarten. I stumbled across her pop up stall at Stockland in Burleigh this morning and her stunning display caught my eye. Please follow Sam on instagram to find out where she will "pop" up next!

Our third big week of kindy and there is so much learning taking place. Remember that not all learning is tangible and not all children learn the same things at the same time.

The first few weeks of kindy are all about children separating confidently from their caregivers, learning the names of their peers and teachers and becoming more independent in their daily tasks. We are learning to use kind words when speaking to others. We are learning to help where we can - especially at pack away time!

We are learning to take turns which can be very hard when we are not used to being in such a big group. We are learning to listen to what others have to say - including our teachers. We are learning to remember our manners with both our peers and teachers. We are learning to think about the feelings of others and remembering that there are lots of other people who are needing the attention of their teachers too!

No wonder everyone is feeling very tired at the end of a busy and very happy day. Well done Ocean Warrior friends - you have done a magnificent job today.

Kathryne, Libby and Danie have worked together as a teaching team at Broadbeach Kindergarten for almost 30 years and are the only original teaching team left amongst community kindergartens on the Gold Coast. We have shared personal trauma and heartbreak. We have celebrated children achieving goals and milestones. We have learnt from each other and always offered support and friendship. We never sweat the small stuff. We laugh often. We don’t always agree with each other but we always respect each other’s opinions and ideas. We share the same philosophies and ideals and believe we can make a difference in children’s lives. We love being crazy and silly. We appreciate each other’s strengths and encourage each other when times are hard. Broadbeach Kindergarten is our passion and the children and the families we welcome each year are our reason for getting out of bed each and every day. We are blessed to have each other and we never take our relationship - both personally and professionally - for granted. We look forward to welcoming our 2025 cohort to kindergarten tomorrow and sharing with our new families and friends what it means to belong, to be part of a community and to feel the magic of our little blue kindy by the beach 💜💜💜

Welcome to our new families and friends for 2025.

We are so looking forward to seeing you all again this week as we begin our journey together. We have so many wonderful things to share with you, new friends to make and old ones to reconnect with.

We promise to challenge, excite and enthuse your children. We promise to love them, care for them, nurture them and keep them safe. As mothers we remember well the feelings of trepidation leaving our children for the very first time in the care of others - but we assure you that we are experienced, professional and dedicated. We will do all we can to ensure the transition from home to kindy is joyful and happy for all.

Remember - if you have any concerns at all over the first few weeks or you are unsure as to how your child is settling - come and have a chat to any one of us - we are here to help, advise and support. Thank you for entrusting your children into our care and becoming part of our family.

Now - let the magic of Broadbeach Kindergarten begin!

Much love - Kathryne, Libby and Danie.
