Urambi ELC

The children were very lucky to meet Cleo the albino Darwin carpet python. One of our children and her mum brought her in for the children to see up close. The children were very inquisitive and asked lots of questions about her - what does she eat, how big is she and why does she look like a banana!!

National Simultaneous Storytime Fun!

Today, the children in Urambi enjoyed participating in National Simultaneous Storytime as Karina read this year’s story 'Luna Roo.'

After the story, the children shared their thoughts and ideas during a fun discussion about the animals featured in the teams and who they thought would make the best soccer players! The children decided that Dingoes and Emus would be the fastest, while Emus, Cassowaries, Dingoes, and Kangaroos would be great at kicking the ball. There was some concern about the snakes though… because they don’t have any legs! 😂

At the end of the story, Zariah excitedly shared, “That was awesome!” We loved seeing children so engaged, imaginative, and involved in the shared reading experience. 💛

🦎 Special Visitor in Wille & Walga!

The children recently enjoyed a very exciting hands-on learning experience when one of our educators brought in their pet blue tongue lizard, Crunch!

Before meeting Crunch, the children discussed how to safely and respectfully interact with him using gentle hands and quiet voices. They learnt interesting facts about blue tongue lizards, including what they eat and how they protect themselves in the wild, while also sharing their own knowledge and experiences.

The children were then given the opportunity to gently pat Crunch and even have him sit on their lap if they felt comfortable. This special experience supported empathy, confidence, and a growing connection with the natural world.

We are so proud to celebrate our amazing educators.
Congratulations to Fran on 9 years, Pema on 2 years, and Prima on 1 year with our company. Thank you for your dedication, commitment, and care you bring each day. We truly appreciate everything you do.

What a beautiful Autumn Day we had at the park. The Wille and Walga children found the perfect picnic spot under the colourful trees were one child captured the magic by saying it was "raining leaves, colourful leaves".
At the adventure playground the children showed off their skills on the equipment. There were plenty of smiles, laughter and lots of adventure during the play.
Lunch was a yummy sausage sizzle. To finish the great morning the children went down the big slide.
A day full of fun, friendship and autumn magic.

Our tree in the piazza offers so many different types of play throughout the year, but Autumn is always especially magical. As the leaves change colour and begin to fall, the space transforms into a place full of wonder and joy.
This afternoon, the Bangu children delighted in the leaves — throwing them high into the air and watching them gently rain down over their friends. Their laughter was contagious, and their joy in this simple moment of play captured everyone around them.
It was a beautiful reminder of how the simplest experiences in nature can spark connection, happiness, and shared wonder. 🍂 ✨

Our three centres recently came together for a CPR training session — a great refresher that helped us stay up to date with the latest practices and keep our knowledge current. It’s always important to continue building our confidence and skills when it comes to keeping everyone safe.

Our children at Urambi ELC have been commemorating ANZAC Day through stories, art and meaningful discussions about what it means to be a hero - someone who helps others and keeps our community and country safe.
Our Wille and Walga children also made ANZAC biscuits for everyone in the centre. They discovered how they were sent to soldiers over 100 years ago. Through this hands on experience, the children not only enjoyed cooking together but also gained an understanding of how small acts of kindness and care have long played an important part in supporting others.

We would like to thank all of our families for joining us at our autumn picnic and spending the afternoon together. It was wonderful to see so many happy faces and children enjoying the day.

A special thank you to our educators for their ongoing dedication and hard work in making events like this so meaningful.
