💙 Celebrating FUDGE Day at Marjorie Mann 💙

What happens when we open the doors and invite the special men in our children’s lives to step into their world?

This week at Marjorie Mann, we celebrated FUDGE Day — a beautiful opportunity to welcome fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, family members and other special male figures into our learning community.

And it wasn’t about creating a perfect activity or putting on a performance.

It was about connection.

✨ Sharing a special story together.
🧘‍♂️ Joining in a yoga session.
🌱 Passing on skills, knowledge and experiences.
🏡 Showing someone around and proudly sharing favourite spaces.
💬 Slowing down, talking, laughing and simply being together.

For children, these moments matter.

When a child takes someone they love by the hand and says, “Come and see this,” they are sharing more than a space. They are sharing their world.

They are saying, “This is important to me.”

We know that children learn through relationships, and when the important people in their lives become part of their early learning environment, those relationships become visible, valued and celebrated.

FUDGE Day reminded us that sometimes the most meaningful learning isn’t found in a planned experience.

It can be found in a story shared, a skill passed down, a yoga pose attempted together, or a proud little hand leading someone through their favourite place.

Because when we make space for family, we make space for belonging. 🤎

A huge thank you to all of the special men who joined us and, most importantly, took the time to step into the children’s world.

Today is Educators’ Day, and at Marjorie Mann we pause to recognise something we see every single day but never take for granted.

Every educator who walks through our doors brings something different — a calm presence, a creative spark, a listening ear, a steady hand in the chaos, a moment of joy when a child finally “gets it.” And whether they are here for a season or have been part of our story for years, each one leaves an imprint that matters more than words can fully capture.

Education isn’t just what happens in planned experiences or learning stories. It’s in the way a child is greeted at the door. It’s in the reassurance during a hard moment. It’s in the laughter shared on the floor, the curiosity sparked in nature play, and the quiet belief that every child is capable.

At Marjorie Mann, we see you.

We see the early mornings, the emotional labour, the endless patience, the teamwork, the reflection, and the heart you bring into spaces that shape the very beginning of a child’s life journey.

To every educator who has been part of our community — past and present — thank you. You don’t just educate. You connect, you guide, you nurture, and you change lives in ways that will ripple far beyond what we can see today.

Happy Educators’ Day. Your impact is felt here, every single day. 💛

Learning grows in the smallest moments. 🌱
A child’s hand in the soil.
An educator close by, noticing rather than directing.
Autumn leaves becoming part of the garden’s story.
These everyday experiences invite children to care, wonder, investigate and understand that they are connected to the living world around them.
At Marjorie Mann, sustainability isn’t simply something we teach—it is something children experience, contribute to and grow alongside.
Because when children are trusted as capable caretakers of their environment, even the smallest actions can take root. 🍂

📚✨ Book Week at Marjorie Mann ✨📚

Book Week has been in full swing at Marjorie Mann this week! From our babies through to our toddlers, stories have come alive in so many wonderful ways. 📖💛

Our educators and children embraced the magic of storytelling by dressing up as much-loved characters, while children proudly brought their favourite stories from home to share with one another.

There has been so much joy in recognising familiar characters, discovering new stories, turning the pages together and sharing the books that hold special meaning for each child.

For us, Book Week is more than dressing up — it’s about nurturing a love of stories, building connections, sparking imagination and creating a community where children’s voices, interests and favourite stories are valued.

A beautiful week of stories, connection, imagination and a little bit of magic. ✨📚

🌟 Celebrating Our Amazing Educators! 🌟
Educator Day is coming up, and we want to make it extra special! 💛
Our educators fill each day with care, connection, curiosity and countless little moments that make a big difference in the lives of our children.

To celebrate them, we’re inviting our wonderful children and families to share what makes our educators amazing! 🌿✨
As you walk through the front door, take a moment to leave a little note, drawing, message or memory about an educator who has made a difference to your family.

It could be a favourite thing they do, something your child loves about them, or simply a few words to let them know they are appreciated.

Let’s fill our space with words of kindness and gratitude and remind our educators just how valued they are. 💕

We can’t wait to read all the beautiful messages! 🌈

How do we know learning is truly embedded?

Not when children repeat back information.
Not when they complete a planned experience.
But when they carry their knowledge into the world around them.

A moment in the garden reminded us of this.

While exploring outside, one child noticed something unusual on a tree. That single observation sparked curiosity across the group. Together, children and educators paused, questioned, researched and investigated. Seeking understanding of the natural world around them.

And then something powerful happened.

Once the children discovered what was happening to the tree, they didn’t simply move on. They responded.
“The tree needs our help.”

Ideas began flowing.
Children collaborated.
Problem solved together.
They acted with empathy, care and responsibility.

This is what real learning looks like.

When children begin to see themselves as active participants in their world.
When knowledge becomes action.
When connection to the environment becomes so deeply rooted that children feel a responsibility to protect it.

At the heart of our eco literacy project is not just teaching children about sustainability. It is nurturing relationships and connection with the world around them.

Because when children learn through connection, they don’t just remember it.
They live it.

Book Week at Marjorie Mann is loud, joyful, a little bit chaotic in the best way — and full of tiny superheroes, princesses, dinosaurs, and storybook characters walking through our doors.

And yes… we love the costumes.

But if we’re being honest, Book Week isn’t really about the dress-ups.

It’s about what happens when the costume comes off and the story stays.

At Marjorie Mann, we bring Book Week back to its heart — books.

The kind that children ask for again and again.
The kind that make them pause mid-play to retell a favourite line.
The kind that turn into voices at morning tea and characters in the sandpit.

Because when children fall in love with books early, something powerful happens:
They don’t just hear stories… they become readers.

Readers who imagine.
Readers who question.
Readers who connect.

Dress-ups are the spark.
But stories are the fire we’re building.

And in early childhood, that fire changes everything.

This Book Week, we’re not just celebrating characters.
We’re raising storytellers.

Some of the most powerful science happens beneath our feet. 🌱
For National Science Week at Marjorie Mann, children are looking closely at the soil—exploring its textures, colours, minerals and the tiny living systems that help our garden grow.

They are asking questions such as:
What is soil made from?
Why does one handful look different from another?
What happens to leaves and food scraps when they return to the earth?
To investigate, the children created compost jars using layers of soil, leaves and organic materials.
These jars are not a one-day experiment.

They invite children to return, observe and notice change over time.
Materials soften.
Colours shift.
Layers begin to break down.
New questions emerge.
Educators resist giving quick answers, instead encouraging children to predict, document and revisit their theories.
Because science in the early years is not about memorising facts.
It is about learning to notice.
To wonder.
To understand that even when something appears still, transformation may already be taking place.
This is Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All in action—planting curiosity today and allowing understanding to grow over time.

Science begins with wonder—and every question plants a seed. 🌱🔍
This year’s National Science Week theme, “Seeds of Science – Nurturing Knowledge for All,” beautifully reflects the learning we see every day at Marjorie Mann.

A child notices a change.
Asks a question.
Tests an idea.
Looks more closely.

Science is growing through our gardens, water play, construction, cooking, light, shadows and encounters with the natural world.
Our children are not simply learning scientific facts. They are thinking like scientists—observing, predicting, experimenting, problem-solving and sharing their theories with others.

Educators nurture these seeds of knowledge by listening carefully, offering thoughtful materials and creating opportunities for every child to explore, contribute and be heard.

Because science does not begin with having all the answers.
It begins with the confidence to ask, “What might happen if…?”

What makes a service truly strong isn’t the environment alone.
It’s the culture of thinking behind it.

A culture where educators feel empowered to reflect openly.
Where questions are valued as much as answers.
Where professional dialogue is ongoing — not something saved for formal meetings or training days.

Building this kind of culture takes time, trust and collective commitment.

At Marjorie Mann Lawley Daycare Centre, opportunities to engage in rich conversations with educators and leaders continue to strengthen not only our practice, but our shared vision for children.

Because when educators continue to grow, reflect and learn together, children benefit from environments that are more responsive, intentional and deeply connected to community.

The work is never “finished” — and that’s what makes this profession so meaningful.
