🪂🎉Harmony Week runs from 16 to 22 March. It’s a great time to get the children involved and use teamwork to play some fun parachute games. Children of all ages can join in. The games build strength, coordination and cooperation.

🎶🎼Try making popular shapes like waves or a mushroom. Children can also form a merry-go-round by holding the parachute with one hand and moving in one direction until the music stops.

☑️ If you don’t have a parachute, you can use a large sheet or blanket.

🎶🤟 Music & Auslan Incursion at Our Centre 🤟🎶

Each week our children enjoy a wonderful music and Auslan (Australian Sign Language) incursion, where they learn to communicate, express themselves and explore rhythm through fun and interactive experiences.

Music combined with Auslan supports children to:
🎵 Develop communication and language skills
🤟 Learn new ways to express themselves
🎵 Build confidence and social connections
🤟 Strengthen memory, listening and coordination
🎵 Experience inclusive ways of communicating with others

Through songs, movement and signing, children are introduced to a beautiful way of communicating that promotes inclusion, understanding and connection.

It is always a joy to see the children enthusiastically joining in with the actions, learning new signs and expressing themselves through music each week. 🌟

Learning through music and language creates meaningful moments that support every child’s development. 💛

🌿 The Power of Outdoor Play 🌿

At our centre, we believe that some of the most meaningful learning happens outside. Outdoor play provides children with the opportunity to explore, discover and grow while developing important life skills.

When children play outdoors they are:

🌱 Strengthening their gross motor skills through running, climbing and balancing
🌱 Building confidence and independence as they explore their environment
🌱 Developing social skills through cooperative play with friends
🌱 Enhancing problem-solving and creativity through open-ended experiences
🌱 Supporting their health and wellbeing through fresh air, movement and sunshine

Outdoor environments provide endless opportunities for children to reach important developmental milestones while connecting with nature and the world around them.

We love seeing children learn through play, curiosity and adventure every day. 🌞

Investing in First Aid training empowers our educators to respond with confidence, care and professionalism.
Through ongoing learning, we strengthen our ability to keep children safe, supported and protected — because quality care means being prepared at all times 🤍

Big feelings are a natural part of growing, especially in the toddler and preschool years 🌻

Strong emotions often appear when children are learning to manage frustration, change, and new social experiences. With calm, responsive support, these moments become opportunities for emotional growth.

At Papilio, we take a thoughtful approach to emotional wellbeing, supporting children to feel safe, understood, and confident as they learn.
