Story House Early Learning Chirnside Park

Story house Chirnside park would like to congratulate Tara to her appointment as service manager following Janene’s move to the new Story House Mooroolbark.
Tara has been second in charge at Chirnside since its opening three years ago and we know she will lead it into a wonderful new era as its manager.
Congratulations Tara! Chirnside is in very capable hands! 👏🏻

On Friday, we officially celebrated Janene as she finished up in her role as Service Manager after three wonderful years.

We wish her all the very best as she begins an exciting new chapter as Service Manager at our Story House service in Mooroolbark. While we farewelled her today, our services will continue to work closely together—so she’ll still be a familiar and welcome face.

It was a heartfelt send-off, with the children creating beautiful artworks and drawings just for her.

Thank you, Janene, for your incredible leadership at Chirnside Park and for helping create such a supportive, connected community. You will be truly missed 💛

Drum roll please!!!! 🥁
The voting for a new addition was certainly very active and in the end (thanks to some interesting additions to the ticks) it was just too close to call so we crowned two winners!
The Thai yellow curry will be added to a menu cycle and then the burrito bowl!
Yummm.
Soon we will be asking a new question of our children and feelings so keep one eye on the board.

We were so excited recently to win a connectedness award for chirnside park. Tara and Chantelle in particular were instrumental in paving the way to help a family in need. Very proud of our story house family at Chirnside park.

Celebrating Holi at chirnside park. What colourful fun we had today both at the Kimberley dve oval and at the centre celebrating Holi with our educators and children. What a joyful way to celebrate! Big shout out to Nisha for joyful approach, suggestions and the colours!

Passionate about making every child feel safe, confident and valued. #comemeetourteam #storyhouseearlylearning #storyhouseearlylearningchirnsidepark

This week our children are helping choose a new meal to add to our menu. The winner will be added once a day on a different day of the week for five weeks - so everyone gets a taste! My vote definately goes to the Thai yellow curry 🤤

Today our senior kinders continued learning with our Bee-Bots! They experimented with simple coding commands, took turns programming paths, and celebrated every successful move. We love watching their confidence and teamwork grow!

What an amazing end to our STOMP incursions!

Silly dancing, epic freeze games, and even animal moves!

Our kinders had the BEST time!
