💛 R U OK? Day with our Froggies 💛

Today we explored the importance of checking in on our friends, including others, and showing kindness and care when someone may be feeling upset.

We also created our ‘Froggies Hearts of Gratitude’ 💕 Each child shared a special message about a friend, celebrating what makes them feel happy and valued.

It was beautiful to see the children’s faces light up as we shared these messages together ❤️

Yesterday we celebrated Early Childhood Educators’ Day💛

A special day to recognise the incredible educators who nurture, guide, inspire and advocate for children every day. Early childhood educators play such an important role in shaping children’s earliest experiences, supporting their learning, wellbeing, confidence and sense of belonging.

We are incredibly grateful for the passionate and dedicated team at E&D Narraweena, who bring care, curiosity and intention to their work each and every day. Thank you for everything you do for our children and families, you make a lasting difference

HEART ♥️ CLUB: the OSHC students have enjoyed joining long day care for Heart Club over the past few weeks. Some of the OSHC children and young people have been making hearts for two years now, and what better way to share their skills than to support and be role models to their younger peers. The students demonstrated kindness and patience, practicing their critical thinking in order to give the preschool children easy to understand steps and explanations. Building connections through experiences like these also enhances sense of belonging within our community.

Superheroes come in many shapes and forms—they imagine,persist, and test their limits! 🦸‍♂️✨ So far this week, our little heroes have suited up, put their powers to the test, and even brainstormed some creative theories on how to actually catch flight. Up, up, and away! 🚀

Today Sabrina and Amanda attended the Northern Beaches Domestic Violence Network Conference. It was a valuable opportunity to deepen our understanding of how to better support children and families affected by domestic and family violence. We are committed to ongoing learning and strengthening the safe, inclusive, and supportive environment we provide for our community.

Thank you to the Northern Beaches Domestic Violence Network for an informative and inspiring day Northern Beaches Domestic Violence Network

On Tuesday this week, we had a very special visitor for our Kangas (2–3 years), Bianca from Northern Beaches Council’s Coastal Environment Centre 🌊💙🐚

Following the children’s current inquiry surrounding the ocean and sustainability, the experience allowed them to explore these concepts through hands-on learning and discussion. Together, the children learned about the ocean and the importance of caring for and protecting it.

Today we welcomed Kym the Reptile Man to our service 🐢🦎🐸

From our nursery children through to our Bluebirds, the children enjoyed meeting a variety of fascinating animals and learning about their unique features and habitats.

Experiences like these spark curiosity, encourage early scientific thinking, and help children develop a deeper appreciation and respect for the natural world around them 🌿

The Kangas (2-3 year olds) have been busy this week baking cookies for One Meal 🧡🍪

As part of our ongoing partnership with One Meal, each room takes turns throughout the year preparing baked goods to contribute to our weekly donation. This week, it was the Kangas’ turn!

Yesterday, the children worked together to read the recipe and follow each step in sequence, developing their early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills. Today, they joined in small groups to decorate the cookies, ready to be shared with those in need.

As we decorated, we shared conversations about the importance of helping others, showing kindness, and how small acts of generosity can make a big difference in our community 💛✨

Last night our LDC and OSHC teams came together for a wonderful evening of reflection and professional discussion.

We spent time reviewing our ongoing practices and our commitment to providing the highest quality care and education for children. Together, we explored important changes occurring within the sector and reflected on how these align with and strengthen the practices already embedded within our daily work.

Continuous reflection and learning is at the heart of what we do, ensuring we continue to provide the very best outcomes for children and families.
