Story House Early Learning Southport

😊 Isla's smile says it all! 😊

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the children enjoy the fruits of their hard work. After helping to care for our garden, Isla was delighted to harvest and taste some of our beautiful bush tucker berries.

We love when all the hard work in the garden pays off and provides the goods! 🌿🍓 Through our involvement in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, children are given opportunities to grow, harvest, explore and enjoy fresh produce, helping them develop a lifelong connection to healthy food and the natural world.

Moments like these are what it's all about. 💚

😴✨ Meet Our Sleep Champions! ✨😴

We're excited to reintroduce Miss Mandy and Miss Thinley as our Sleep Champions! 💙

Passionate about children's wellbeing, they support our team in maintaining safe sleep and rest practices, creating calm sleep environments, and keeping up to date with best practice. They also play an important role in sharing knowledge and information with families to help support healthy sleep habits both at home and at the service.

Thank you, Miss Mandy and Miss Thinley, for championing such an important part of children's care and development! 🌙⭐

❄️ Winter is coming to Story House Southport ❄️

From Monday, our children will be enjoying Miss Sal's brand new winter menu — filled with warm, nourishing meals designed to keep little tummies happy throughout the cooler months 🥣💛

Our seasonal menu features wholesome favourites, comforting flavours, and balanced meals created to support growing bodies and busy days of learning and play.

This week, as we acknowledge National Reconciliation Week, our children have been engaging in meaningful experiences that encourage creativity, connection, and conversations around culture, identity, and belonging.

Through hands-on experiences like mark making and exploring different symbols and patterns, children are developing an understanding that stories, art, and expression can help us connect with one another and the world around us.

At Story House, we are committed to creating environments where children feel a sense of respect, inclusion, and curiosity about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures — not just this week, but every day.

“Bridging Now to Next” reminds us that reconciliation is a journey we take together, through learning, listening, and meaningful action 🤍🖤💛❤️

What’s better than pizza on a rainy day?? 🍕🌧️
Pizza faces on a rainy day!! 😄

Nothing beats getting creative, a little silly, and sharing lots of laughs while staying cosy indoors. Who knew pizza could make such funny faces? 🍕😂

Tiny hands, big discoveries ✨💡

Exploring light, colour and curiosity together through hands-on play and shared learning moments 💙

Beach kinder is all about sandy toes, salty air and climbing trees 🌿☀️

There’s something so special about children exploring nature, building confidence and creating memories through outdoor adventures. From balancing on branches to digging in the sand, every moment is filled with learning, laughter and discovery 💛
