Little Graces Childcare Centre

After reading How the Birds Got Their Colours by Mary Albert, the children were full of inspiration ✨

They brought the story to life through painting, creating their own bright and colourful birds together.

So much creativity, colour and collaboration in one beautiful group artwork 🐦🎨

Work anniversary celebrations this week! 🎉

A big congratulations to Miss Amy on 5 years and Miss Katrina on 3 years with Little Graces.

Thank you both for the care, passion and positivity you bring to our centre every day. We are so lucky to have you as part of the Little Graces family 💜🧡.

Winter is a season where colds and viruses tend to move quickly through early learning environments. With young children still building their immune systems and learning hygiene habits, simple routines can make a meaningful difference.

Handwashing, cough etiquette and not sharing drink bottles all help reduce the spread, along with keeping little ones home when they are unwell.

Small consistent habits protect the whole community and help children recover with the rest they need.

Happy National Vegemite Day! 🇦🇺

This morning our little chefs rolled up their sleeves and got busy spreading the salty Aussie favourite onto their toast.

There were plenty of proud smiles, a few very generous servings and lots of enthusiastic taste testing along the way. 😄

Who else started their day with Vegemite on toast? 🍞🖤

Play is how young children learn about the world around them.

Through play, children develop communication skills, creativity, confidence, problem solving abilities, social connections and so much more.

What may look like “just play” is actually meaningful learning happening every single day. 🧩🎨🧸

Out in nature, the simplest things become treasures. Flowers, leaves, sticks, all carefully collected in tiny baskets and carried with so much pride. 🌿🌸🍂

Time outside gives children space to breathe, move, explore and soak up the world around them. Fresh air, sunlight and open ended play all working quietly in the background to support growing bodies and curious minds.

There is something so grounding about letting childhood unfold outdoors, one little find at a time 🌼

Young children are capable of so much more than we sometimes realise.

Encouraging independence helps children build confidence, responsibility and a sense of belonging within their environment.

Simple everyday routines like washing hands, packing away belongings or helping with meals all play an important role in developing lifelong skills. 😊✨

Tiny recyclers in training ♻️
Sorting, thinking and discovering how we care for our world through recycling. Egg cartons and milk cartons found their place in the cardboard and paper only bins as the children explore what it means to look after their environment.

The mission was simple: help the pig find its tail. 🐷

The reality? Lots of giggles, plenty of determination and a few very creative guesses!

Through the tunnel and onto the next adventure. Activities like this help children build coordination, body awareness and confidence while having fun. 💜
