🦷 Looking After Our Smiles! 😁 – By Olivia

Hi everyone! 👋

Did you know it’s never too early to start looking after your teeth? Even little kids need to brush and care for their smiles every day! 🪥✨

At playgroup, we talk about healthy habits, and brushing your teeth is a BIG one!

💡 Brush your teeth two times a day
💡 Use a soft toothbrush
💡 Visit the dentist to keep your smile strong

🌟 Here’s something super important for families:
Some children can get FREE dental care through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule from Services Australia

👉 This can help pay for things like:
• Check-ups
• X-rays
• Cleaning
• Fillings

⚠️ But remember…
If you don’t use it, you can lose it!

So it’s a great idea to check if your child is eligible and book in with your dentist 🦷

📌 More information here:
https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/child-dental-benefits-schedule

Let’s keep our smiles bright and healthy together! 😄

Covers part or the full cost of some basic dental services for children if you get certain payments from us.

Cooking with Toddlers is Fun and Helps Us Learn!
By Olivia
Cooking with toddlers is a wonderful way to learn, play, and spend time together. Little children love to help mix, pour, stir, and taste. It makes them feel proud when they can join in.
Cooking supports the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) by helping children grow through play-based learning and real-life experiences. It links strongly to Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity as toddlers feel proud when helping. It also supports Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing through healthy food choices and confidence building.
Cooking helps toddlers build fine motor skills when they hold spoons, peel bananas, or sprinkle cheese. These hand movements help prepare children for drawing and writing later on.
It also builds language and communication skills, which links to Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators. Children learn new words like mix, pour, soft, crunchy, hot, and cold.
Cooking can teach early maths too, supporting Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners. Toddlers can count spoonfuls, compare sizes, and explore full and empty.
Most of all, cooking builds confidence, connection, and belonging. Sharing food together creates happy memories and supports relationships.
Cooking with toddlers is not just about food — it is about learning, growing, and having fun together.

Hi everyone 👋
Sometimes you might see a little sticky note come home about what your child did 😊
In some early childhood centres (ECC), educators use sticky notes to write quick observations about learning, play, and special moments. This helps keep families informed about how children are growing 🌱
At our playgroup, we don’t use sticky notes, but we think it’s a really great idea that some centres use 👍
It’s also important to know that privacy and safety come first. It can be tricky to take and share photos now because of rules about consent, so sticky notes are a safe and simple way to share learning 💛
We love supporting children and families in ways that feel safe and respectful

🌿 Nature Play Week Fun! 🌿

Hi friends! It’s Nature Play Week from April 11 to 22 🌞
I love playing outside because it helps me feel happy and strong.

You can play in the dirt, look for bugs 🐞, climb, run, and use your imagination! Nature is like a big playground where we can learn new things every day.

Let’s have fun in nature together! 💚

Hi, I’m Olivia 💛
Play is important for all kids. It helps us learn, make friends, and feel happy. Every child has the right to play, no matter their age or ability. My team and I love helping children grow through fun and safe play.

Come join us at Taragindi Playgroup!
🗓 Mondays (Term 2)
⏰ 9:30am–11:00am

I love this for playgroup! It gives children space to explore new toys side-by-side, building confidence and independence. From age 3, parallel play helps them watch, learn, and grow social skills in a safe way—while parents connect too 💛

Playgroup Update 💛

Dear Playgroup Families,
Unfortunately Olivia has ended up back in hospital and needed to undergo another surgery. As much as she loves seeing her friends, playgroup won’t be running this week.

We’re sending all our love and healing thoughts her way and will keep you updated over the week about next Monday. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Get well soon, Livvy 💛
