Sunny days call for epic water battles! 💦☀️ Water balloons, a tub full of water, and water shooters—what more do you need for the ultimate outdoor fun? 🙌

Nothing beats staying cool and making memories under the sun (with sunscreen and hats on, of course!) 😎✨

Let the splash wars begin!

CHRISTMAS CANVAS PAINTING 🎨

Today, the kids were tasked to pick a Christmas theme for their canvas. They first sketched it out using pencil before painting it in using poster paint. How are you getting in the Christmas spirit this year?

Honouring the brave with our little hands and big hearts. Over the last two days, we remembered and reflected through the arts and crafts we created together—each piece, a symbol of gratitude and remembrance for the sacrifices made by so many.

Through these small acts of creativity, we teach the importance of honouring the past while shaping a future filled with peace and understanding.

How did your FDC commemorate the fallen? Let us know in the comments below! 🤍

who said jenga blocks can’t be used in other ways?

as I was preparing the kids breakfast for this morning, one child decided to use the jenga blocks to create, what I consider, a literal masterpiece.

from the design concept to the ex*****on and structural integrity, I am super proud to share with you all this gorgeous tower.

WHAT ARE CHILD LED ACTIVITIES? 🤔

Swipe to see today’s activity 🙈➡️

Child-led activities are experiences where children take the initiative in choosing & directing their play or learning. These activities prioritise children’s interests, allowing them to explore, create, & engage in ways that resonate with them.
These activities promote autonomy, critical thinking, & problem-solving skills 🌱

At our regular outing to the local parklands, one child decided to build a campfire using the natural resources found on the grass. This influenced the other two to join in and create their own variation. The children used sticks, fallen branches & bark to create their own personalised campfires 🏕️

Here’s a yummy snack idea for those with a sweet tooth! Full of healthy carbs, essential vitamins & minerals, and most importantly PROTEIN!!

Swipe for the step by step instructions ➡️

Bananas are a nutritious fruit full of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6 & magnesium. They are rich in antioxidants & can support digestive health due to their fiber content 🍌

Dark chocolate contains iron, magnesium, copper & manganese which are some of the many nutrients that everyone, especially children, are currently lacking in due to the high volumes of processed foods found in supermarket 🍫

Peanut butter is a good source of healthy fats & protein, making it a popular choice for energy & satiety. It contains magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin B3, & phosphorus. However, it’s calorie-dense, so portion control is important. Look for natural varieties without added sugars or oils for a healthier option (its only ingredient should be peanuts & salt) 🥜

You can easily switch the banana for any fruit you desire, like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries & more! 🍌🍓🫐

With technology forever evolving and being incorporated in our children’s lives, it is important to create a union between safe use and learning 🤝

As each child’s homework is now mainly completed online, here at Little Astronauts FDC, allow the children to bring in their devices, from home, to complete homework and extracurricular activities.

A staple application/ website we incorporate in our educational program includes Kahoot Quizzes. The notion of learning via technology creates a fun, interactive and safe way to learn new and exciting topics that relate to each child’s interests.

From maths equations to cartoon characters, Kahoot Quizzes has assisted in each child’s development and understanding which ultimately maximises on their extension of learning 🙇🏽‍♂️

Would you use technology in your program? If so, what programs would you introduce?

Todays main focus activity was our creative expression that follows onto holistic teachings through the art of cooking 🧑🏽‍🍳

As a family daycare educator, I find it quite challenging to encourage children to try and consume foods that are deemed “healthy”, especially their veggies 🥦🥕

By providing the kids with vegetables to accompany their meat options, they were in control of which toppings to place and how much of those toppings they would like on each of their pizzas. To my surprise, they all managed to pick at least one vegetable option!

Here at LA FDC, we do not teach the kids to prioritise healthy foods over unhealthy foods as that creates a negative relationship with food. Anything can be deemed unhealthy, however it is about how much we consume. A popular saying I like to say to the kids here is “it is all in moderation”; meaning you can have whatever snack or meal you like, but only in the right amount.

Do you share positive conversations with your kids about eating in moderation? Share your thoughts below!
