Love of Learning Early Learning Centre

Our children spent National Reconciliation Week learning, creating, and asking big questions. What does it mean to be “all in” for each other? For our children it means sharing, listening, and celebrating the oldest living culture together. We embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our daily experiences through stories, art, language, and respect for Country. Reconciliation is part of who we are, every day. Proud to walk this journey with our little learners and our community

We had lots of fun celebrating National Simultaneous Storytime the children loved listening to the story Luna Roo The Kangaroo Baller, engaging with puppets, dancing with pom poms and playing football! A wonderful way to celebrate the joy of reading together.

Our preschoolers are exploring modern Aboriginal art in our local area. They are learning how traditional stories and art symbols still influence today’s artworks. We have viewed artwork, discussed what the symbols mean, and are creating our very own artwork inspired by these ideas. This helps children understand culture, storytelling, and creativity.

Thank you to all our families for joining in the fun and generously donating to our Pirate Day fundraiser for The Kids’ Cancer Project. Your support means so much to us and to this important cause.

All our educators have recently completed a nationally accredited First Aid and CPR refresher with Darren from Hills First Aid Training with training specific to early childhood education and care. Having all staff trained ensures that there is always a qualified educator on site who can respond quickly and confidently if an incident occurs. It also supports our commitment to the National Quality Standard Quality Area 2 – Children’s Health and Safety. Your child’s safety and wellbeing is our highest priority. This refresher helps us maintain current skills, meet regulatory requirements, and give you peace of mind knowing your child is in safe hands.

ANZAC Day is a special time for us to pause, reflect, and remember the bravery, sacrifice, and spirit of the men and women who have served our country.
With young children, we approach this day gently and meaningfully, focusing on themes of kindness, courage, helping others, and remembering. Lest We Forget

Our Joeys participated in a ‘feeding the animals’ scooping sensory activity. The experience supported recognition of farm animals, practice of fine and gross motor skills and eye hand coordination, while keeping them engaged, curious, and actively exploring.

Autumn vegetable, herb and flower planting in our Love of Learning garden. Gardening for children fosters physical, mental, and emotional growth by improving motor skills, promoting healthy eating habits, and teaching patience and responsibility. It encourages curiosity, connection to nature, and provides a, tactile, hands-on learning experience that builds self-confidence and provides a sense of calm.
