What is Red Nose Day?

Red Nose Day is an annual event in Australia focused on raising funds for child safety and supporting families who have lost a child.
The mission is to stop little lives being cut short and ensure grieving families receive the support they need.

If you wish to donate to the Red Nose organisation please visit their website for more information.

Last Week we engaged in many adventures and fun as we celebrated our love of books and story telling whilst dressing up as characters from our favourite books for Book Week!

The children and staff of Maryborough Central ELC have helped us celebrate National Pyjama Day all week in true cozy style raising funds for the Pyjama Foundation to help out children in Foster Care.

We had a great time joining in lots of fun activities this week including Teddy Bear wagon races, Teddy Bear Picnic, Coach Jordan from Playball Fraser Coast joined us for a Playball session in our PJ’s then we had a special visit from John Barounis MP whom came along in his Pjama’s to join in the fun, the children enjoyed listening to John read the book “I’m going on a bear hunt” before asking him many questions about being a MP. 🧸

Last week we had a special visit from Dental2you .

Sharna and Polly from the Dental2you team were fantastic making the dental experience a positive experience for the children.

Sharna and Polly were so kind and patient with each child as they guided them through each step during the dental check-ups, all whilst teaching the children about oral hygiene, including brushing and healthy food choices.

We had smiling happy smiling faces all round!

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately tonight’s Parenting Program session has been postponed. The Maryborough Early Years Place will confirm the new date soon.

Kind regards,
Maryborough Central Maryborough Central Early Learning Centre Team.

We are proud to welcome Maryborough Early Years Place into our community which is a new hub for families with children aged 0-8 to access early childhood activities and supports in one place to help with child development and family wellbeing.

We will be hosting their very first parenting program information session at our Centre on Tuesday 24/06/25 from 6:00pm to 7:00pm at 28 North Street, Maryborough, all families are welcome to attend this free event.

In this 1 hr session we will explore brain development in children with a major focus on the relationship between a child's stage of neurological development and their behaviour. We look at how the brain develops, the left and right sides of the brain, why crossing the midline is important and some activities you can try at home.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Today we welcomed Hayley Westbrook from Maryborough Central State School

The Kindergarten children enjoyed the visit engaging in conversation with Hayley about their experiences and transition to Big School, as well as listening to an interactive story about a Possum that goes to Big school. Hayley was great at answering their many questions and queries before saying her goodbyes as she handed out a gift pack to each child.

At Maryborough Central early learning centre we believe in empowering children by actively involving children in the transition process, as they are more likely to feel empowered and confident as they move to school, fostering a sense of agency, community and belonging.
