💙 Happy Educators’ Day to our incredible Astra team! 💙

Today we celebrate the amazing educators who bring so much love, passion and intention into everything they do. 🌿✨

Thank you for creating spaces where children feel safe, valued and inspired to explore, wonder, create and simply be themselves. The connections you build, the little moments you notice, and the care you give every single day make such a beautiful difference. 🥹

We are so lucky to have such a dedicated team shaping little hearts and curious minds. Today is for YOU! 💐

Happy Educators’ Day! 🫶🏼✨

YAY! 🥹🔬🌊 We are so excited to share that Astra Early Learning Port Melbourne is officially a Little Scientists House! 🏡✨

This certification recognises our commitment to best-practice early STEM education, demonstrated through our inquiry project “How does wave movement affect ocean life?”, co-developed with our 4-year-old children. 💭🌊🐠

We are incredibly proud of our children and educators for continuing to explore, question, investigate and learn together. 💚

Officially certified from September 2026–September 2028! 🎉🔬

❤️🤍🔎 WHERE’S WALLY? WEDNESDAY! 🔎🤍❤️

Our educators joined in the Book Week fun with a very special Where’s Wally? Wednesday! 📚✨

Throughout the day, our Wallys found some VERY creative hiding spots around the centre 👀🌿...behind trees, amongst the plants, around corners and in places you might not expect!

Bringing stories to life is one of our favourite ways to celebrate the magic of books, imagination and play… and judging by these photos, our educators understood the assignment! 😂❤️

Now the real challenge is yours…

🔎 Can you find all of our Wallys? 👀

Today, our Astra leadership team came together for a meaningful day of connection, reflection and shared learning. 💛

These moments give us the opportunity to think deeply together...sharing perspectives, challenging our thinking and strengthening the vision that connects us across Astra.

We were incredibly grateful to be joined by Ruth from REAIE (Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange), who supported us in exploring the important role we hold as early childhood professionals, not only as educators and leaders, but as advocates for children, their rights, their safety and the value of early childhood education...Together we reflected on our current projects, child safety and wellbeing, quality practice, Assessment & Rating, community connections and the possibilities still ahead of us.

Because strong services begin with leaders who are willing to listen, reflect, question and grow together.

Our educators recently took part in a hands-on STEM workshop facilitated by Little Scientists Australia , engaging with a range of materials to explore the many ways water can be used to support inquiry-based learning, co-construction and metacognition in the early years.

This professional learning is also an exciting step in our journey towards becoming a Little Scientists House, strengthening our commitment to embedding meaningful STEM inquiry into our everyday practice. 🏡✨

We’re looking forward to bringing these ideas back into our learning environments and continuing to nurture children’s natural curiosity, wonder and confidence as capable learners and researchers 💧🔍🌱

Last night, we had the wonderful opportunity to attend the REAIE Melbourne Network Meeting at Davis Street Kindergarten.

We are incredibly proud to have Narrelle, not only as our Quality Improvement Manager, but also as a Network Convenor for Reggio Australia . Her passion for reflective practice, professional growth and the Reggio Emilia approach continues to inspire our team. 💚

A heartfelt thank you to Davis Street Kindergarten for opening their doors and welcoming educators into their beautiful learning environment.

Hands-on experiences are always such a powerful way to learn, exploring environments, engaging with materials, exchanging ideas and connecting with other educators gives us new perspectives to bring back into our own practice.

✨ When educators remain curious and continue learning, our children benefit too.

Our little explorers have been reaching for the stars through imagination, creativity and hands-on discovery. From building rockets to creating astronauts and exploring new planets, every creation tells its own story. 🌎💫
