The Big Treehouse

Sometimes the greatest learning happens when we simply slow down, step outside and embrace the wonders of nature. 💚

The children have been exploring the art of sewing throughout the year, developing patience, persistence, creativity and fine motor skills with every stitch. 🧵✨

It’s such a privilege to support children in learning practical, lifelong skills they can carry with them well beyond their early years. Watching their confidence grow as they master new techniques and proudly create something with their own hands has been incredibly rewarding.

What an incredible couple of months it's been at The Big Treehouse Preschool! 🌿💚

We've explored safety through the SeeMore Safety Program, laughed and learnt with JD's World of Magic, celebrated NAIDOC Week with a meaningful Smoking Ceremony, cooked with fresh produce from one of our preschool families' farm, enjoyed movement and mindfulness with Tiny Moves and welcomed the STEPS Vision Screeners.

There's even more to look forward to, including House of Tierney's sustainable woodwork incursions, Tooth Angel, Nose Blowing Education, Action Kids and our exciting six-week 2027 Buddy Program with New Lambton Public School.

We're so grateful for the amazing opportunities, partnerships and community connections that make learning at The Big Treehouse so special. 🌱✨

What an incredible achievement for our small, family-owned preschool. We couldn’t be prouder.

Our fruit explorations continue! The children worked collaboratively to crack open a coconut using hammers, demonstrating teamwork, persistence and safe risk-taking. They were excited to discover what was inside and enjoyed tasting both the coconut water and the fresh coconut flesh. This hands-on experience encouraged curiosity, sensory exploration and meaningful conversations as the children shared their observations and compared the taste, texture and smell of this unique fruit.
