Did you know that there are 7 Quality areas covered by the EYLF?
The quality areas are broken in to 3 Prime areas…
• Communication and language development involves giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment; to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves; and to speak and listen in a range of situations
• Physical Development
involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and to develop their coordination, control, and movement. Children must also be supported to understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy choices.
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form positive relationships and develop a respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities.
As these areas are a part of the school curriculum, it is so important to teach students about respect, appropriate behaviours, personal boundaries and body safety.
⭐️ My husband has just published his first children’s book titled “My bubble, my space” It is written and illustrated in a very simple format making it easy for children to follow and understand. ⭐️
It is the perfect time to add this story book to your collection and incorporate in your daily learning.
The publishers have put together a short clip of the book below…

I’ll be moving house next month and I have quite a lot of things that I can’t take with me! Some resources I’ll be giving away and some I’ll be selling like my gorgeous natural home corner set.
I purchased this set from educating kids. It’s sturdy, great quality and in really excellent condition.
If anyone is interested, I’m open to any reasonable offers.
I also have a timber table and chairs set that matches nicely.
I’ll be doing a huge toy & furniture sale/giveaway in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out! 😁

Some more memories 😍

Thank you to the Hetherington and Minter family for even more lovely surprises, so very thoughtful. xx
Today is a very sad day for me closing the door to this amazing chapter. 😢
The past 10 years have taken me on such a journey filled with ongoing learning, joy, happiness, tears, fear and excitement but most importantly, I have developed so many valuable skills, learned the importance of connection and building strong relationships.
I am truly grateful for every single child, family, educator and supervisor that has stepped through my front door (or doors) over the years and been a part of TT’s!
You have all played a vital part in the success of TT’s which has made me the strong, empathetic and determined person I am today which is really something I’ll treasure and be proud of moving forward.
What I have achieved over the years has been remarkable! From winning regional fdc educator of the year to becoming a Marte Meo practitioner and learning how to support many children with additional needs.
I know that sticking to my core beliefs in guiding and educating children with their social, emotional and communication skills as well as their confidence and positive learning relationships has positively impacted every child who has attended TT’s, as it is evident they leave here with happiness, confidence and a sense of belonging. No matter how young or old, I’m confident that they have gained enough skills to navigate their way through this big scary world!
So thank you everyone for all your love, care and support towards not only me but my family as well.
You will always be remembered and have a place in my heart. 💜
I wish you all happiness in your new day care journeys!
Take care xx
P.s. Feel free to add me on my personal fb if you’d like to stay in touch and keep me updated on how the children are going. 😢
