💛 Stranger Awareness & Child Safety 💛

Teaching children about stranger awareness is an important part of keeping them safe.

🌟 Encourage children to:
• Stay close to their trusted adults
• Never go anywhere with someone without checking with their parent/carer
• Say “NO!”, move away and seek help if they feel uncomfortable
• Tell a trusted adult if someone makes them feel unsafe
• Remember: it’s okay to say NO, even to an adult

👀 A friendly reminder for our Highmount families:
Please keep children supervised at all times, particularly in public places, playgrounds, car parks and around entrances and exits.

Children rely on us to create safe environments where they can learn, play and grow. 💛

Talk about safety. Stay close. Stay aware.

🌟 Happy Early Childhood Educators’ Day! 🌟

Today we celebrate the incredible educators who make such a lasting difference in the lives of our children. ❤️

At Highmount Preschool, our educators do so much more than teach. They nurture, encourage, listen, inspire and create a safe and welcoming environment where every child can learn, grow and simply be themselves.

Their patience, creativity, dedication and genuine love for what they do shines through every day. From the little moments to the big milestones, our educators are there to support our children every step of the way. 🌱✨

To our wonderful Highmount educators — thank you for everything you do.
Thank you for helping our children discover their confidence, creativity, curiosity and joy. 💕

We are so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

WE ❤️ OUR EDUCATORS!

🌟 Tomorrow is Early Childhood Educators’ Day! 🌟

But what exactly is it — and why is it important?

Early Childhood Educators’ Day is a national day of recognition celebrating the dedication, knowledge and care of Australia’s early childhood educators.

The celebration began in Queensland in 2011, inspired by World Teachers’ Day, and has since grown into a national celebration held on the first Wednesday of September each year.

❤️ It’s a chance for our community to recognise the incredibly important role educators play in the earliest years of a child’s life.

Early childhood educators do so much more than care for children. They help children develop confidence, curiosity, communication, relationships, resilience and a love of learning — laying foundations that can influence their journey for years to come.

🌱 The Future Starts With Us!

Tomorrow, we celebrate the wonderful educators who nurture, encourage, inspire and support our children every single day.

To our incredible Highmount Preschool educators — thank you.
Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are so grateful for everything you do. ❤️

Happy Early Childhood Educators’ Day!

🌿 ALMOST FRIDAY! 🌿
Ready for a little outdoor adventure this weekend? ☀️

You don’t need to go far — grab the kids, head outside and turn nature into your very own playground!

🔎 NATURE TREASURE HUNT
Can you find…

🍂 Something crunchy
🌿 A leaf bigger than your hand
🌸 A flower
🪵 A stick shaped like a letter
🐦 A bird
🪨 A smooth rock
🐜 A tiny insect
💛 Something yellow
🌱 Something soft
👀 Something you’ve never noticed before!

🌳 MORE OUTDOOR PLAY IDEAS

🧚 Build a fairy garden — use sticks, leaves, stones and flowers to create a tiny world.

🏃 Nature obstacle course — jump over sticks, weave between trees, balance along a path and hop between “stepping stones”.

🎨 Nature art — collect fallen leaves and create pictures, patterns or funny faces.

🐾 Animal detective — look for footprints, feathers, nests and signs of animals.

💦 Puddle play — after the rain, put on the gumboots and see what you can discover!

🌈 Colour hunt — choose a colour and see how many things in nature you can find.

🌳 Tree adventure — find your favourite tree and sit underneath it for five quiet minutes. What can you hear?

💚 The best part?
Outdoor play doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s about moving, exploring, imagining, noticing and having fun together.

Happy exploring, Highmount families! 🌿💛

🌿✨ MONDAY FUNDAY AT HIGHMOUNT! ✨🌿

We love to kick-start the week with Monday Funday — a time for creative play, curiosity, imagination and learning! 💚

There’s something so special about watching our Highmount children immerse themselves in play, experiment with new ideas, create, explore and use their wonderful imaginations to make learning their own. 🧩🎨🔍🌱

And one of our favourite moments? Pick-up time! 🥰

Hearing the children excitedly tell their families all about what they discovered, created and experimented with throughout the day is always a highlight — and such a beautiful way to start the week ahead. 💫

A huge thank you to our wonderful Highmount educators for creating such engaging, inspiring and meaningful learning experiences for our children every day. Your creativity, care and dedication make Monday Funday so special! 🤍

Here’s to a week full of imagination, discovery, creativity and lots of learning through play! 🌈✨

🦷 Dental Health Awareness Week | 3–9 August 😁

A healthy smile starts with healthy habits!

At Highmount Preschool, we’re encouraging our little learners to build strong oral health habits that will last a lifetime.

Here are some simple ways families can support healthy smiles at home:
🪥 Brush teeth twice a day for 2 minutes
🦷 Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste
🥕 Choose healthy snacks and drink plenty of water
🪥 Replace toothbrushes every 3 months (or sooner if worn)
😊 Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups

Good oral health helps children eat, speak, learn and smile with confidence.

Let’s work together to keep every Highmount smile bright and healthy! 💙

💚 The Magic of Unhurried Weekends 💚

In a world that often feels busy, children don’t need packed schedules to grow—they need time.

Time to imagine.
Time to ask questions.
Time to build, create, climb, laugh, and even get a little messy.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when children are simply given the freedom to explore at their own pace. A cardboard box becomes a spaceship, a stick becomes a magic wand, and a walk around the block turns into an exciting adventure.

This weekend, try putting the phones away for a little while and let your child lead the day. You might be surprised by where their imagination takes you.

At Highmount Preschool, we celebrate curiosity because we know today’s little explorers become tomorrow’s confident learners.

✨ What adventure will your family discover this weekend? We’d love to hear in the comments!

Have a wonderful, restful weekend, Highmount families! 🌿💛

There’s no better way to start the week than knowing your child is beginning it with endless imagination, play, learning and growth. 💚

Here’s to another wonderful week of discovering, creating and growing together! 🌿✨
