Habitat Early Learning Peregian Springs

We are so proud to see children extending their early literacy skills through a variety of engaging learning experiences. In this space, children are using the Montessori Moveable Alphabet to build words and match them with concrete objects, strengthening the connection between spoken language, print, and meaning. Developed from the work of Maria Montessori, this approach supports hands-on, meaningful literacy development.

The children’s sign-in station has also been a wonderful tool for encouraging name recognition and supporting early name writing skills.

Montessori Literacy Workshop

Thank you to the families that joined us this morning for our Montessori Literacy Workshop. We love sharing the purposeful learning that children engage in every day!

Today, we welcomed Bravehearts Ditto Bear show to Peregian!

Ditto Bear helped guide the children through big conversations in a gentle, age-appropriate way. They covered topics such as consent, safe and unsafe behaviour, and how to recognise trusted safety helpers in their lives.

The message was clear, simple, and empowering—helping children understand that their voice matters and that they can always reach out for help.

We are looking forward to our visit from Ditto Bear tomorrow!

This week, we are proudly recognising National Reconciliation Week through meaningful learning experiences and conversations with children.

Children have been engaging with a range of resources to deepen their understanding of reconciliation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and the importance of respect, connection and belonging.

The children have exhibited empathy, understanding and a strong sense of community as they walk together on the path of reconciliation.

Cristina has been teaching Cici how to play 'you are my sunshine' on the guitar, helping her to integrate more music into group times with the children. This special song is a favourite in Cristina's Performing Arts Program, and now the joy will continue to spread across even more learning experiences.

At Habitat, we value collaboration between our teaching team and the benefits to children are always at the heart of what we do.

Today, our Kindy children celebrated Under 8's Day at Peregian Springs State School. The morning was filled with hands-on activities, games and creative arts experiences. The children loved immersing themselves in future school life!

Thank you to Peregian Springs State School for a morning full of fun, learning and beautiful memories.

We've embraced the wet weather over the past few days, and what better way than to explore the rain!

Rain play is more than just fun—it helps build sensory awareness, supports gross motor skills, encourages curiosity about nature, and teaches children to adapt and enjoy the world in all its changing conditions.

There’s truly no better teacher to lead the way than Miss Lucy, who turned some rainy days into an opportunity for learning ✨

We were delighted to welcome Nicola, Primary School Coordinator at Peregian Beach College, to spend time with our Kindergarten children. As part of supporting a positive transition to school, Nicola spoke with the children about what school life looks like and helped build familiarity with the school environment.

Opportunities like these play an important role in developing confidence, easing uncertainties and creating excitement for the journey ahead. We love providing meaningful experiences that help our children feel prepared, connected and ready to take their next big step.

Thank you Peregian Beach College

Last week, we celebrated Greta, Poppy and Paige as they prepare for the commencement of their maternity leave. It was a beautiful day full of warmth and well wishes as they embark on this exciting new chapter.

We wish Greta, Poppy and Paige all the very best and look forward to meeting the future babies of our Habitat community 💕
