Story House Early Learning Thornlands

Story House Early Learning Thornlands A family operated and privately owned child care centre committed to providing children with fun filled, educational experiences.

Formerly Happy Tots, now proudly part of the Story House Early Learning family 🏡✨
Providing quality care, nurturing learning, and supporting strong futures for every child. 🌱 We recognise that individual children have their own pattern of development, social and cultural context and potential for learning. We organise experiences for them that are appropriate to their developmental needs, interest

s and learning styles. We aim for the children to learn in a warm, friendly, safe and relaxed environment where there are plenty of play experiences and learning opportunities. ur centre is pleased to be operating a Queensland Government approved Kindergarten Program with an Early Childhood Teacher, aimed at preparing our pre-prep children for primary schooling. Our centre implements the Queensland kindergarten learning guideline and focuses on building upon children’s learning and development including literacy and numeracy skills and exploring the foundations of mathematics and science. We are committed to the implementation of the National Early Years Learning Framework and operate an Emergent Curriculum. Our program is based on the individual needs of the children in our care, is balanced and developmentally appropriate. It has variations, providing for a wide range of individual experiences. We believe food ingredients should come from the kitchen, not from a lab. From this belief came the inspiration to open our own production kitchen, the Healthy Cooking Company. We aim to create and promote natural and wholesome food with a number of health benefits:

* Preservative Free
* No artificial flavours
* Low in sodium & refined sugar
* Naturally sweetened with honey

As Educators, we believe in teaching children that physical activity can be fun as well as good for our bodies and minds. As a result we have employed the skills of a fully qualified Personal Trainer to coordinate exciting exercise programs within our centres. We want the children in our care to experience the numerous health benefits that regular physical activity can provide. Contact our Centre Director to find out more or to arrange a tour!

We would like to wish our families a very Merry Christmas! We have embraced the festive season by fostering a sense of belonging and community connection. On Christmas Eve, we gathered to share a delicious roast Christmas lunch lovingly prepared by Chef Amy, creating joyful memories for the children and staff. In the spirit of giving, we extended our care beyond the service, delivering gifts donated by our families and staff to the children’s ward at the Redlands Hospital who were very appreciative and assured us that these would go out to the children in hospital, visiting the emergency department, and social services.

Our Kindergarten recently had the pleasure of sharing a wonderful morning with their Pen Pals, marking a meaningful milestone after months of connecting through letters. The children were excited to meet in person, proudly sharing their learning environments and engaging in games that fostered collaboration and creativity. They were engaged in listening to stories from their Pen Pals, which encouraged rich communication and a deeper understanding of each other's lives.
Amy, our talented chef, created a delightful spread of food, further enhancing the sense of community.
Our Pen Pals also brought gifts, which brought joy to the experience.
It was truly heartwarming to observe the interactions between the children and their Pen Pals, where a sense of belonging and connectedness was evident.
