💛 Celebrating Our Amazing Mi Kids Team 💛

This Early Childhood Educators’ Day, we celebrate the many faces who have been part of Mi Kids — from the day we opened our doors to the wonderful team we have today. Each person has left their mark and helped shape Mi Kids into the special community it is.

This year, we have explored what it truly means to be One Centre, One Team, One Vision — strengthening our relationships through deeper understanding, trust and genuine connection.

To our educators, past and present, thank you for the care, heart, laughter and love you have brought to Mi Kids. Our people and the relationships we share are what make Mi Kids so special. 💛🌿

💜 A beautiful offering from one of our Mi Kids educators…

Many of our families will know Yasmin, one of our wonderful educators here at Mi Kids. Alongside her work in Early Childhood Education, Yasmin is also a counsellor with a deep passion for supporting the emotional wellbeing of women, children and families.

We are delighted to share an upcoming event that Yasmin is co-facilitating with fellow Early Childhood Educator, Valentina:

✨ Birth Memories Circle ✨
A gentle space to remember, reflect and return to your birth story.

Birth can shape women in profound ways. Whether your birth is remembered with joy and strength, carries complicated emotions or simply feels like an experience you would like the opportunity to pause and reflect upon, your story matters.

This intimate gathering will provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space for mothers to honour their individual birth journeys through:

🌿 Grounding meditation
🤎 Ceremonial cacao
📖 Guided reflective journaling
💜 An optional sharing circle
✨ Gentle support throughout the afternoon

The gathering is intentionally limited to only 8 women to create a warm and intimate space.

We are proud to see Yasmin bringing her care, compassion and commitment to women and families into this beautiful offering within our wider community.

💜 Facilitated by Valentina & Yasmin

🌿 NAIDOC Week May Have Passed… But Our Journey Continues Every Day 🌿

At Mi Kids, NAIDOC Week is more than a week of celebration—it reflects the way we learn, connect and care every day.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are embedded throughout our program through meaningful, authentic experiences. From our daily Acknowledgement of Country, observing the changing seasons in our native gardens, exploring our local wetlands, and learning alongside our Bush to Bowl educators, children develop a genuine connection with Country, community and the world around them.

This commitment has inspired our newest community project as we extend our learning from our Mi Kids community into our wider neighbourhood through the Northern Beaches Wildflower Project at Moriac Reserve.

Together with our families, children and educators, we will help create a native wildflower meadow that supports local flora and fauna, increases biodiversity, and provides children with a lasting opportunity to care for Country through hands-on, meaningful experiences.

We are looking forward to working alongside our families to prepare, plant and nurture this special space, showing our children that caring for the environment is something we do together.

Because at Mi Kids, connection to Country, sustainability and community aren't celebrated for just one week—they're part of who we are, every single day. 💚

An outline of the Wildflower project:

We're looking to re-wild some suitable Council-owned public land with meadows of low growing native wildflowers and grasses.

💛🖤❤️ ALL IN FOR RECONCILIATION ❤️🖤💛

During National Reconciliation Week, our Toddlers and Senior Preschoolers came together for a beautiful shared learning experience focused on connection, culture, and belonging.

We were honoured to welcome Clarence from Bush to Bowl, who shared stories of his Aboriginal heritage through storytelling, music, and hands-on experiences. The children learned about connections to Country, land and sea, including collecting pipis, using natural resources, and the importance of listening respectfully to stories passed down through generations.

Through a co-learning approach, our preschoolers supported and guided the toddlers as they collaborated to create a Reconciliation Tree. Together they painted, cut, created, and shared ideas, demonstrating kindness, leadership, patience, and teamwork.

This meaningful project helped children build respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, develop empathy for others, and experience the joy of learning together.

Our Reconciliation Tree stands as a reminder that we grow stronger when we listen, learn, and work together.

A special thank you to Clarence and Bush to Bowl for supporting our reconciliation journey.

💛 At Mi Kids, we are proud to be ALL IN for Reconciliation. 💛

💙 We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly humbled to share that Mi Kids has once again been named a Finalist in the 2026 Local Business Awards! 💙

What makes this recognition even more special is that it came as a complete surprise. We didn't promote the awards this year and didn't even realise Mi Kids was in the running.

To know that members of our community took the time to nominate and support us means the world to our team.

Being recognised as a finalist isn't just about an award. It signifies the trust, relationships, and connections we have built with children, families, educators, and our wider community. It tells us that Mi Kids is seen as a place where children are nurtured, families are valued, and everyone belongs.

As a family-owned service, this recognition warms our hearts and reminds us why we do what we do every day.

Thank you to every family, child, educator, and community member who has been part of our journey. This recognition belongs to all of you. We are so grateful for your ongoing support and for allowing us to be part of your children's early learning journey.

Thank you for thinking of Mi Kids. 💙
