First Steps PreKindy

🖤💛❤️ National Reconciliation Week at First Steps PreKindy ❤️💛🖤
This week at First Steps PreKindy, we are taking time to learn, reflect and celebrate the importance of Reconciliation Week through meaningful experiences and conversations with the children.
Together we are exploring:
🌿 caring for Country and our environment
🤝 kindness, respect and friendship
🐝 learning about nature, animals and the world around us
🖤💛❤️ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures
✨ understanding that we all belong and can make a difference
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we play, learn and grow, and pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
Through these experiences, we hope to help children build an understanding of caring for one another, caring for Country and appreciating the many stories and cultures that make up our community.
Together we can inspire our children to create a future built on respect, kindness and connection. 🌱

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from First Steps PreKindy 🌸

Today we celebrate all of the incredible mums, grandmothers, carers and special women who play such an important role in the lives of our children.

Thank you for the love, care, encouragement and support you give each and every day. The kindness, patience and dedication you show helps children feel safe, confident and deeply loved as they grow and learn.

At First Steps PreKindy, we feel so grateful to work alongside such wonderful families and to be part of each child’s journey.

We hope today is filled with love, special moments and a little time to feel appreciated for all that you do. 💐

Happy Mother’s Day from all of the team at 🌱 First Steps PreKindy

🌿 A week of learning, discovery and friendship at First Steps PreKindy 🌿
This week the children have been engaged in a range of meaningful learning experiences, building both friendships and confidence through play.
During group time, we enjoyed listening to The Rainbow Fish, exploring themes of kindness, sharing and friendship. These moments support children to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging within the group.
We also explored early science concepts through hands-on play, experimenting with floating and sinking. The children were curious, engaged and excited to test their ideas and discover what happens!
To extend this learning, the children:
🌊 explored ocean-themed playdough, using their imagination to create and tell stories
🎨 engaged in art and craft using recycled bubble wrap, linking to sustainability and caring for our environment
Through these experiences, children are developing:
✨ communication and listening skills
🤝 friendships and social connections
🌱 awareness of sustainability and recycling
🌊 curiosity and early scientific thinking
💡 confidence to explore and try new things
It is so special watching the children learn alongside one another and grow in confidence each week.
If you are looking for a small, supportive PreKindy environment for your child, we would love to welcome you.

🌺 Lest We Forget 🌺
Last week our children over the week explored the theme of Anzac Day ❤️ Today we pause to remember and pay our respect to the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country.
At First Steps PreKindy, we acknowledge the significance of ANZAC Day and honour the values of courage, service and remembrance.
As a reminder, our service is closed today for the public holiday, and as part of our commitment to supporting families, we do not charge families when we are closed on public holidays or scheduled service closure days.
This is something we feel is important for families, and part of how we aim to support our community.
We hope our families enjoy a peaceful day together as we remember those who have served.
❤️ Lest We Forget🌺
