Goodstart Early Learning Maryborough

✨ The Magic of Bubbles ✨
There’s something truly special about bubbles… 💭💙
Educators blew some bubbles and suddenly the world slowed down. Little hands reach, little feet chase, and giggles fill the air. Each bubble is a tiny moment of wonder - floating, shimmering, dancing in the sunlight.
Bubbles aren’t just fun… they’re learning in disguise:�👀 Tracking strengthens visual skills.�🤲 Popping supports hand-eye coordination.�😂 And most importantly… they spark pure JOY!

🦷✨ Smile Checks ✨🦷
We were so excited to welcome back Dental2you to our centre last week.

The children had a fantastic time learning all about taking care of their teeth, showing off their beautiful smiles, and having their teeth checked in a fun, safe and friendly way. 🪥💙
Visits like this help build confidence and teach important habits that support lifelong dental health—and we loved seeing how engaged and curious everyone was!
A big thank you to the Dental2You team for making the experience so positive and enjoyable for our little learners.

Remember… brush, brush, brush and keep those smiles shining bright! ✨

✨ Kindergarten Fun! 🎩 ✨
Our Kindergarten children had an absolute blast at our Hat Parade last week! The children proudly showcased their incredible, creative hat designs to the younger classes, beaming with pride as they shared their creations. 💫
This special experience not only sparked creativity but also supported a strong sense of self‑achievement. Each child had the opportunity to celebrate their unique design and the effort, imagination and care they put into their work. 👏💖
We are so proud of their growing confidence, creativity and willingness to shine! 🌟

We had a wonderful time out in the community again this week, supporting Maryborough Central State School at their Under 8’s Day!

It was such a fun-filled day meeting new families, connecting with teachers, chatting with fellow community members, and of course, spending time with lots of amazing children. 💛

Events like these are such a special opportunity to build relationships and celebrate the importance of education and connection in our community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello—we loved being part of it!

🌈✨ Learning through play! ✨🌈

Pre-Kindy have been exploring a fun numeracy activity using sorting trays, numbers, tongs, and colourful pom poms! 🎨🔢

Our little learners were busy strengthening their fine motor skills as they carefully used the tongs to pick up each pom pom, while also building their counting and number recognition skills. One by one, they counted and matched the pom poms to the correct number spaces, what clever thinking! 🧠💡

It’s always wonderful to see children engaged, focused, and having fun while learning new skills. 💛👏

Congratulations on 10 Amazing Years at Goodstart Maryborough 🎉

Here’s to you Rachael- 10 years of caring, nurturing, teaching, cleaning, singing, dancing, laughing and learning.

You are appreciated, and the world is a better place because of the work you do.
Huge congratulations - what an incredible milestone! 💛

While Miss Tiana is off on her travels, we thought we’d share a few photos from her adventures so far! We hope you’re having the best time, staying safe and enjoying every moment. Looking forward to hearing all about it when you’re back ✈️💕

🖍️✨ Tiny Hands, Big Skills! ✨🖍️

Drawing with crayons is more than just fun, it helps our toddlers build important skills every day! From strengthening little hand muscles to developing coordination and creativity, every scribble is a step in their learning journey 🎨💛

We love watching their confidence grow as they explore, create, and express themselves in their own unique ways 🌈

❤️ 💚 🖤 . . . Sea of Hearts . . . 💛 🤎 🩷

Our foyer is filling with colour, kindness, and community spirit as we launch our Sea of Hearts for Reconciliation Week. Each heart represents a personal commitment to listening, learning, and walking together toward a more connected future.

We’re inviting all our families to join in. Pop into the main office, choose a heart, and share what reconciliation means to you - through words, drawings, symbols, or anything that feels meaningful. Every contribution helps our display grow into a powerful visual message of unity and respect.

A huge thank‑you to Maryborough State High School for adding their beautifully decorated hearts to our collection. We love building strong community connections and seeing young people come together with shared purpose.

Let’s fill our space with hope, understanding, and voices from every corner of our service. Grab a heart, make your mark, and help our Sea of Hearts ripple outward. 🌊❤️

🥤✨ Little Skills, Big Growth! ✨🥤

We love seeing our children building independence each day—especially when it comes to taking responsibility for their own drink bottles! 👏

From remembering to bring them, to knowing when to have a drink and where they belong, these small moments are big steps in developing confidence and self-help skills 💚

We’re so proud of our capable little learners! 🌱
