Watch Us Grow - Early Learning Centre

This year we invite all families to share your hopes, wishes and goals for your child in 2026.

Please write down what you would love your child to experience, learn or grow in this year and hang it on our Wish Tree.

Your contributions help us get to know your child deeply and support their learning and wellbeing.

Together we create a shared vision for the year!

Dear Santa… 🧑‍🎄

🧑‍🎄 Our Christmas Story 🧑‍🎄 ✨ Our children became authors and illustrators! They worked together to create their very own Christmas storybook, sharing ideas, imagination and festive joy. 🎄📘

We love what we do 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Pen Pals! In 2025, we have decided to take on pen pal with a centre in Riverwood!

What is Pen Pal?
Pen pal childcare is a program that pairs children with pen pals in other countries or communities, allowing them to write letters and make new friends.

Benefits of Pen Pal:
- Learn about other cultures: Children can learn about different ways of life and traditions.
- Improve communication skills: Children can practice writing letters and learn about international mail.
- Make new friends: Children can form friendships that last a lifetime.
- Develop social skills: Children can learn to be curious and consider other perspectives.

This closely links to Quality Area 6 - Collaborative partnerships with communities.
This quality area recognises that collaborative relationships with communities are fundamental to achieve quality outcomes for children and community partnerships based on active communication, consultation and collaboration.

This also extends on the following EYLF outcomes:
Outcome 2.1 - Children develop a sense of belonging to groups and communities and an understanding of the reciprocal rights and responsibilities necessary for active community participation
Outcome 4.1 - Children develop dispositions for learning such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity
Outcome 5.1 - Children interact verbally and non-verbally with others for a range of purposes

Our 2025 Philosophy! Environment, Families, Community, Children, Educators 💙

2024 Christmas gifts from the children to you!

The best experiences for children happen when there is a strong relationship between us and your family day in and day out.

The relationship with each family is unique in many ways, but all partnerships will share some features:

- Shared aims or goals—what is best for the child.
- Open, respectful relationships

As we begin to prepare for 2025 and implement new things, we like like to introduce to you our WUG WISH TREE.

What is the WUG Wish Tree?
It’s a tree that allows you to have the opportunity to put a ‘wish’ that you would like your child to achieve each month of 2025.

Special deliveries from the North Pole! Thank you Santa 🎅❤️
