✨ On the 4th August we celebrated National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day. ✨

Throughout the day, the children came together to learn about the significance of this special day. During our group discussion, we explored why National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day is celebrated and learnt that, in the past, some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people did not have their births officially recorded, meaning they didn’t always know the exact date of their birthday. This day is an opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children while honouring their identities, cultures, families and communities.

To celebrate, the children enjoyed baking cupcakes for a special afternoon tea before coming together for a birthday party. We played a fun game of pass the parcel, sang Happy Birthday to celebrate all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, shared our Acknowledgement of Country, and enjoyed our freshly baked cupcakes together.

It was a wonderful way of learning, celebration and connection, providing meaningful opportunities for the children to develop an appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures while strengthening their sense of belonging, respect and community.

✨ Welcome to My School ✨

As we open enrolments for 2027 at our Bexley service, we’ve created our personalised “Welcome to My School” Social Story to support children and families as they prepare for this exciting transition.

Designed to help children become familiar with our environment, routines and educators, social stories can reduce uncertainty, build confidence and create a sense of belonging before their first day.

What makes this story extra special is that it has been created using the words and interpretations of one of the children in our centre, offering an authentic child’s perspective that encourages connection, reflection and meaningful conversations.

We’ll be sharing this resource with families attending our Open Day this month, giving children the opportunity to become familiar with our centre and feel more confident and excited about starting their journey.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our Stepping Stones family.

✨ “There’s always room for one more…” ✨

Our story came to life today as the children stepped into the magical world of Room on the Broom.

After revisiting this much loved story, the children explored a collection of character masks before choosing who they wanted to become. They eagerly transformed into witches, dragons, frogs, birds, cats and other familiar characters, using their imaginations to recreate favourite moments from the story and invent new adventures together.

💬 “I want frog!” M.
💬 “I want to be the witch!” E.
💬 “I want the dragon… ROARRR!” E.
💬 “Cat.” I.

Through dramatic play, the children strengthened their understanding of the story by recalling the sequence of events, recognising characters and using expressive language as they retold the narrative in their own unique ways. They collaborated with friends, negotiated roles, solved problems together and confidently shared their ideas, all while immersed in meaningful play.

At Stepping Stones, we believe stories are far more than books. They are invitations to imagine, create, communicate and connect. Experiences like these lay the foundations for early literacy while nurturing confidence, creativity and a lifelong love of reading.

After all, there’s always room for one more on our broom.

This week we celebrated the incredible milestone of Chantelle’s 10-year anniversary at Stepping Stones! 🤍

Over the past decade, Chantelle has demonstrated unwavering dedication, resilience, and commitment to our team, children, and families. She is a mentor, a leader, and an inspiration to those around her.

While much of what Chantelle does happens behind the scenes, her tireless efforts, passion, and pursuit of excellence help ensure our service continues to provide the highest quality care and education every day.

Congratulations on 10 amazing years at Stepping Stones, Chon. We are so grateful for everything you do and are a much better place because of you. Here’s to celebrating this incredible achievement and many more milestones to come!

Today we celebrate the tradition of Mother’s Day and all the special people who fill children’s lives with love, care and support.

Mother’s Day is not only about mums. It is about every person who nurtures, encourages, comforts, guides and stands beside us through life’s journey. Grandmothers, aunties, carers, stepmums, family friends and all those important people who help shape a child’s world deserve to be celebrated today.

Thank you for the countless moments of kindness, patience, reassurance and unconditional love you give so freely. The connections children build with the people around them help create a sense of belonging, security and confidence that lasts a lifetime.

Today we celebrate all those very special people who contribute to the lives of our children and community in meaningful ways. Your love and support never go unnoticed.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible people who help children feel safe, valued and deeply loved.

In the lead up to ANZAC Day, our Dyaramak children have been exploring the meaning and significance of this important day within our Australian community. Through thoughtful discussions and shared experiences, they developed an understanding of remembrance, respect and honour.

As part of this learning, the children worked together to create a commemorative ANZAC wreath. Today, a small group travelled into our local community to respectfully lay the wreath at the cenotaph at Bexley RSL.

Our journey included catching a local bus, observing our surroundings, and engaging in meaningful conversations along the way. At the RSL, the children explored the memorial, noticing the plaques and symbols that honour those who have served. With care and guidance, they laid the wreath as a gesture of respect and reflection.

We were warmly welcomed by the RSL team, who acknowledged the children’s contribution to the ANZAC Day commemorations and proudly displayed our wreath.

Experiences like this support children to build a sense of belonging and connection to their community, while developing an understanding of significant cultural and historical events in an age-appropriate way.
