Last month, our 3 & 4 year old kindergarten groups had an exciting visit from our mates at Little Chompers. It was such an awesome and informative experience for the children.
Many questions were asked and comments were made during the presentation which not only empowered children’s voices but they were able to be active learners. Then, the children transitioned into having their teeth checked by the dentist.
Another wonderful incursion that we offer here, at Smiling Children 🌈

Endless opportunities for all children to experiment with their ideas, make meaning, and use open-ended materials 🎨🌈
Educators at Smiling Children provide a range of resources that enable all children to express meaning through the Arts, including visual arts, dance, drama and music. We emphasise the process of learning rather than focusing on the final product…
It’s a whole lot of fun and learning, in every which way!

We love Library Bus Tuesdays! 📚🚌
Each week, our three and four-year old kindergarten children get to enjoy a beautiful afternoon stroll down to the Yarra Regional Library bus. Each child has the opportunity to choose two books to borrow and take home to read with their families 🧡 • It is always an enjoyable adventure for all! 📚

Healthy Harold
Our 4 year old Kinder’s enjoyed meeting Harold from LifeEd for the very first time. Together they unpacked some big topics including emotions, friendliness, respect, ways to improve our feelings, personal space and who our safe adults/people are.
