🪿 Our Goose Has Come to Life! 🪿

We’ve been extending our Book Week celebrations by exploring a story that has a special connection to our local community — Goose on the Loose! 📚

With the iconic geese of Riddells Creek as our inspiration, the children worked together to bring our very own community goose to life. 🎨✨

Our children used their fingerprints, paintbrushes and lots of creativity to decorate our goose, while others drew pictures inspired by the story. Our Centre Director even got creative and painted the front cover of the book using sustainable materials, including recycled boxes! ♻️

This project has been a wonderful opportunity to connect literacy, creativity, sustainability and our local community in a meaningful way.

And now, our goose is ready to return home! 🪿❤️ We are so proud to give our special creation back to the Riddells Creek Neighbourhood House, where it can be displayed for our wider community to enjoy.

A big thank you to our local community for inspiring our learning and helping us celebrate what makes Riddells Creek so special! 🌿📚🪿

📣 PUBLIC HOLIDAY REMINDER 📣

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday 25/9, is a Public Holiday and the centre will be CLOSED.

We hope all our families have a wonderful and safe long weekend! 💚

Now for the big question… 🏉🏆

Will Freo get up for their first Grand Final win, or will Brisbane claim their 6th Grand Final victory?! 😜

Either way, let’s hope it’s a great, close game!

Enjoy the long weekend, everyone! 🏉🎉

🌿🎨 Drawing on Nature at Goodstart Riddells Creek! 🎨🌿

We were so excited to welcome the Melbourne Museum Outreach Program – Drawing on Nature Kit to Goodstart Riddells Creek! 🦋🍃

Our children had the opportunity to explore the natural world through drawing, observation and discovery, using nature as inspiration for their creativity. ✏️🌱

With curious minds and creative hands, the children looked closely at natural objects, noticed details, asked questions and transformed their observations into their own artwork. 🐚🌿👀

It was wonderful to see the children’s curiosity, imagination and connection to nature come to life as they explored, wondered and created together.

A big thank you to Melbourne Museum for providing this wonderful outreach experience and helping us bring meaningful learning experiences into our kindergarten program. 💚

Look closely. Wonder deeply. Create freely. 🌿✨

💙 OUT OF THE SHADOWS | R U OK? DAY 💛

Today, the team at Goodstart Riddells Creek came together for something incredibly meaningful - our Out of the Shadows fundraiser walk for su***de prevention, in support of the important message behind R U OK? Day.

R U OK? Day is a powerful reminder that a simple “Are you okay?” can open the door to a conversation that someone may desperately need. It’s about checking in, listening without judgement, staying connected and reminding the people around us that they don’t have to face difficult times alone. 💛

Our walk, Out of the Shadows, represents bringing conversations about mental health and su***de prevention into the light. By walking together, we’re showing our support for those who are struggling, remembering those we have lost, and helping break down the stigma that can make it so difficult to ask for help.

We were so proud to join forces with Love It Landscaping Design & Maintenance, walking side by side as a community and raising an incredible $3,000+ for su***de prevention. 🙌💛

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, supported us, walked with us and helped us spread this important message.

Let’s keep checking in - not just today, but every day.

Ask the question. Start the conversation. Be there.
💛

💙 Today is the day we do our walk with Love It Landscaping Design & Maintenance to help raise money and awareness for World Su***de Prevention Day 💛

💙💛We have set up at Clarke Oval and start the walk at 2pm if anyone can join in 💙💛

We would absolutely love for our centre community to get involved and support us in this important cause. Whether you’re able to join us for the walk, share our fundraiser with friends and family, or simply just help spread awareness, every bit of support means so much.

Love It Landscaping has also put together a raffle to help raise additional funds. If any of our families have any items, vouchers, services or hampers they would like to donate towards the raffle, we would be incredibly grateful.

This is a cause that is incredibly important, and we hope we can come together as a community to show our support, raise awareness and remind people that they are never alone. 💛

Thank you so much for your support, kindness and generosity. We would love to see our daycare community get behind this meaningful day! 💛

Whether your child is already attending early learning, getting ready to start, or you're still exploring your options, it's natural to have questions.

💭 Will my child feel safe and supported? 💭 How will they cope with new experiences and changes? 💭 What can I do to help them feel confident and settled?

Listen to Episode 1 of What I Wish I Knew... The Early Learning Guide podcast, with child development expert Dr Billy Garvey as he explains why transitions are such an important part of childhood and how strong, supportive relationships help children navigate change with confidence.

From starting early learning to moving rooms, making new friends or tackling other big milestones, transitions are a normal part of growing up. When children feel safe, supported and connected, they're more likely to embrace new experiences, build confidence and develop the resilience they need to thrive.

🎧 Tune in to hear Dr Billy's expert insights and explore more episodes of What I Wish I Knew... The Early Learning Guide podcast: https://brnw.ch/21x5znZ

💛 Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported and a true sense of belonging as they grow, learn and discover the world around them.
