Edelweiss Child Care Centre

Our preschoolers had so much fun exploring rhythm with Miss Maggie using clapping sticks today! As they listened carefully to the music, they followed directions such as loud, soft, quiet, left, and right. There were lots of smiles, concentration, and energetic movements as the children tapped along to the beat.
Activities like this help build listening skills, coordination, body awareness, and confidence while making music and movement fun!

Our little ones are learning the importance of handwashing and hygiene through fun daily routines that help keep everyone safe and smiling. 🧼

We were pleased to welcome Ranger Jamie for an Aboriginal cultural Adventure, offering children the opportunity to engage with First Nations culture, stories and ways of knowing.

Experiences like these support children’s learning and
development by encouraging curiosity, connection to Country, and an appreciation of different cultural perspectives.

Through hands-on and engaging activities, the children were
able to deepen their understanding of the world around them and build
meaningful connections to culture in an age-appropriate and enjoyable way.

🌼 Little Voices 🌼
Following yesterday’s National Simultaneous Storytime, we thought there was no better question to ask the children this week than…
📚 “What is your favourite book and what is it about?”
It’s very clear that our little learners LOVE books. From Peppa Pig and Dog Man to Pig the Pug and so many more, the children were so excited to share their favourite stories with us.
Whether they are beginning to recognise words themselves or enjoying cuddles and stories read by their families, books play such an important role in supporting imagination, language, creativity and a lifelong love of reading ✨

🎶 Rainy day music and fun 🎶
What better way to spend a wet morning than singing together!
The children loved tapping along with their musical sticks, joining in with the songs and enjoying all the fun that music and movement brings. There’s always something special about these happy little moments together ✨

🎶 Rainy morning fun 🎶

What started as some drumming quickly turned into Miss Airien playing her guitar while the children created their own version of musical statues😄
We love these spontaneous moments of creativity, teamwork and fun, especially on wet indoor mornings!
