Little Chickens Family Daycare

Learning to read and write are great skills and some children may have already started prior to school but getting ready for ‘big’ school is much simpler than teaching your child their ABCs.

Kindy readiness is about ensuring that children are able to perform self help tasks such as toileting, putting their shoes on and opening lunch containers, as well as buildong the fine motor and muscle strength to be proficient in controlling their pencils.

These kindergarten activities are perfect for kindergarten readiness and for promoting development of skills in 5-6 year olds.

Parenting oops…

Does your car seat have loops on the side? Use them to hook the seatbelt clips into.

After long daycare, family daycare and 4 of my own kids, I can’t believe I didn’t already know this 🤦‍♀️

(Thanks to Michael for being my baby model. Isn’t he cute? 😍💖.)

Meet our newest little chicken, Michael.

After a few challenges we are now home, ready to love and learn together.

Our FDC return date is yet to be confirmed but definitely coming, in the meantime please message me if you want any advice of suggestions on anything daycare or learning related.

What a year 2021 was! Crazy busy, full of learning…. and another baby on the way 🤰💙.

As I prepare for maternity leave, I am also working on a new plan for learning for when I return.

So stay safe, spend time with your children and watch this space for more fun 💖.

Some extra help for families…

From today, the annual cap has been removed for families who get Child Care Subsidy. It will be backdated to the start of the 2021–22 financial year.

If you’ve already reached the cap, we'll pay you any money we owe you this month.

You don’t need to do anything. We’ll apply this change automatically.

There are some changes coming up to CCS. Be sure to update your details to ensure you receive the correct amount.
