Treehouse Early Learning - Pimpama

Play is the work of childhood.” — Jean Piaget

Sometimes the simplest experiences create the richest learning.

This year, we enjoyed celebrating Matariki by exploring Māori legends, learning about the significance of the Matariki star cluster, and participating in meaningful experiences that deepened our understanding of this special time. Through stories, conversations and hands-on activities, our children explored themes of reflection, connection, gratitude and new beginnings.

While Matariki provides a special opportunity to celebrate, we remain committed to embedding diverse cultures and perspectives into our everyday program, fostering respect, curiosity and a sense of belonging for all. 🌟

This week we've enjoyed highlighting some of the many ways we embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our everyday program. Through storytelling, music, collaborative art, making damper, exploring nature and meaningful conversations, our children have continued to learn with curiosity, respect and connection.
While NAIDOC Week gives us a special opportunity to celebrate, these experiences are part of our ongoing commitment to creating a culturally safe and inclusive environment where children develop a genuine appreciation for the world's oldest continuing cultures.
Happy NAIDOC Week! ❤️💛🖤

Every family is unique, and every masterpiece is special

A hands-on ocean adventure! Children explored sea creatures, floating objects, and sensory play while learning about our oceans and the importance of keeping them clean.

Who needs a paintbrush when nature provides one? Our little artists explored creativity using sticks, branches, and leaves to create unique masterpieces. Every print tells a different story!

Throughout the month of June, our educators took part in our **Play Champion** competition, recognising those who consistently demonstrated enthusiasm, passion, and a genuine commitment to engaging in deep, meaningful play alongside the children.

We're excited to congratulate Miss Julie and Miss Grace, who were named our June Play Champions! Not only are they outstanding Play Masters, but they also each received a $100 gift card in recognition of their dedication.

Thank you, Miss Julie and Miss Grace, for inspiring curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning every day. Your commitment to meaningful play makes a lasting difference in the lives of the children in our care. 💛

Please join us in congratulating our amazing Play Champions!
