Early learning isn’t just about the classroom. Visiting the amazing residents at Hillview Bunyip Aged Care teaches our children about kindness, patience, and the stories that only a lifetime can hold. 🌻🧡

What an incredible Waitangi Day celebration! 🇳🇿 🎶

A huge thank you to Janice for making this day so special for our pre-kinders! She handcrafted 22 poi and taught our tamariki a beautiful traditional dance.

Dear Birches ELC and wider community,

Please see link below to a gofundme page for one of our beautiful kinder families.

Our gorgeous kinder friend Logan has relapsed with Neuroblastoma and the family are currently navigating treatment plans and what this will look like with their family.

It would be greatly appreciated if you have the capacity to support Logan and his family through this incredibly difficult time in any way.

Thank you for your support.

Today, Alyssa, Shane, and their brave little boy Logan received the unimaginable news that no fam… Candice Johnston needs your support for Help Logan’s fight!

Intergenerational play brings children and older adults together, creating meaningful connections that benefit both groups. It helps children develop social and cognitive skills while boosting seniors’ mental health and reducing isolation. Playing together fosters empathy, joy, and stronger bonds across generations.🌟👶👵

It was fantastic having the Responsible Pet Ownership team out again last week 🐶 For many children this is their first interaction with a dog and provides a safe, positive and educational experience.

Our 4-year-old kinder children have started their visits to Hillview Aged Care as part of our intergenerational program. They always have a great time connecting with their new friends!

Our kinder children were lucky enough to participate in a reptile incursion this afternoon. This was a great opportunity for the children to learn about different animals and reptiles! 🐦 🐍 🐊 🦎

The Easter Bunny hopped by this morning! 🐰 The little ones had a blast hunting for eggs in the yard. Lots of giggles, chocolate, and happy hops! 🍫

Have a safe and hoppy Easter! 💛
