We loved hearing the excitement and smiles with the Easter bunny visiting us. Who doesn't love a Easter egg hunt!!

Today is Harmony day!
Harmony day is a celebration of our cultural diversity- a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home.
At Helensvale Play and Learn we celebrate this special day throughout the centre as we paint orange hearts on the children's faces to show that everyone belongs. 🧡

Today we celebrated World Wildlife Day. We had some special visitors from Wild Rangers. There were snakes, birds, various lizards and even a crocodile 🐊 . We learnt some interesting facts about the animals too!

Thank you to all of our grandparents and families who joined us today for our Grandparent's Day Morning Tea.

Grandparents Day started in Queensland in 2010 and now is celebrated all around the world. It is important to pause and take time to honour you as special people and thank you for the role you play in our lives and community.

We hope you enjoyed all of the fun activities with your grandchildren and our beautiful morning tea prepared by our on-site chef!

We certainly loved having you visit for a play and being able to share this special day with you.

Space week October 2022

Throughout the week the children explored and engaged in space experiences. Senior Kindy involved a science experiment about space into their learning as they made "fizzing moon rocks".

The children were lucky to try out a telescope as they used it to try and spot the moon!

What a great week we have all had learning about our solar systems and the many different planets.

Don’t forget today is Educators day! A day that we celebrate and say thanks to your wonderful educators for all they do!! Please feel free to share your thanks below or today at the service.

Just a couple of snaps from Book Week 2022!!

One of our beloved Play and Learn Helensvale families needs our help! Big or small, every little bit will help. If you can, please donate, if you can’t…please SHARE.

At the peak of his physical fitness; running the GC Marathon last month… our Hoani one of our beloved Daddies, has been dealt a blow with some tough news on the health front in the last few weeks.

Within the next 4 weeks he will undergo a very aggressive and invasive treatment for Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP), a disease which affects 1-3 in every 1 million people.

The procedure is Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC). It’s the ‘mother of all operations’, a 10-12 hour open abdominal surgery where they cut from sternum to pelvis, remove all visible disease, a few compromised organs, and finish by pumping the cavity with heated chemotherapy.

The procedure is only performed in very few places around the world and the Princess Alexandra Hospital is Brisbane if one of them! 🙌🏼 Hallelujah.

Whilst he and his beautiful family are extremely positive, they have a huge journey ahead of them and every little bit of support will help on the road to recovery.

Thank you for your help!! 🙏

Help Hoani fight his battle with Cancer, organized by Hannah McColl We’re channelling Hoani’s strength to help him through his toughest battle and … Hannah McColl needs your support for Help Hoani fight his battle with Cancer

Red Nose Day is major fundraising and awareness campaign for the Red Nose foundation. The First Red Nose Day was held in 1988 in Australia and since then it has become a beloved day for Australians to get silly and fundraise to help save little lives and support families.

Red Nose Day sparked a global movement and catalysed research into the reasons why babies die suddenly in their sleep.

And because of that, we now have six evidence-based steps all parents can take to reduce the risk of their baby dying in their sleep.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible public support for Red Nose Day.
