🌼💛 DAFFODIL DAY 💛🌼

Yesterday, we paused to acknowledge and celebrate Daffodil Day at our service. 🌼

A simple reminder of hope, strength and the families whose lives have been touched by cancer.

We wore a little yellow, shared a little love, and stood together for something that means so much to so many. 💛🌼

🧪✨ READY, SET... EXPERIMENT! ✨🧪

SCIENCE WEEK AT CUBBY CARE! 🔬💥

This week we've been swapping "I wonder what will happen?" for...

👉 LET'S FIND OUT! 👈

Our little scientists have been mixing, testing, predicting, creating, observing and discovering through hands-on experiments and plenty of messy fun! 🌈💧🧪

From bubbling reactions to colour changes and fascinating discoveries, there's been lots of:

🤔 I WONDER...
🔎 LET'S INVESTIGATE...
💡 WHAT IF...?
😲 WOW! LOOK AT THAT!

Because the best science happens when children are encouraged to ASK QUESTIONS, GET CURIOUS AND HAVE A GO!

✨ Wishing our Cubby Care community a wonderful Wednesday! 🌈

🌈✨ GUESS WHAT JUST LANDED?! ✨🌈

Our rooms just got a BIG cosy upgrade! 🥳🧸

🎉 NEW MATS! 🎉

We’re pretty excited about this little refresh! 💙

Come and check out our new favourite floor spaces! 😍✨

🐟💦 Today’s forecast: 100% chance of SPLASHES!

The fish were swimming, the water was flying and there were plenty of little hands busy scooping, tipping and pouring! 🫧🐠

A simple water-play setup turned into plenty of investigating, experimenting and, of course, a few very soggy sleeves! 😂💧

We think that counts as a pretty successful day! ☀️

✨ DID SOMEONE SAY OOSHIE?! 👀💥

Our brand-new Ooshie Trading Station has landed! 🥳✨

Calling all our families & little Ooshie collectors! 🫶🏼
Bring in your doubles, swap with your friends, and see what treasures you can trade! 🔄👀

Let the Ooshie trading begin! 🔥🎉

🌟💙 COMPLEX CARE TRAINING! 💙🌟

Last night our amazing team came together for an incredibly valuable Complex Care Training & Clinical Consultancy session with Leland from Complex Care. 🧠💛

A huge thank you to Leland for sharing his knowledge, practical strategies and expertise with our team, and to everyone who gave up their evening to be part of the session. 👏✨

Together, we explored:

🧠 Survival Brain • Emotional Brain • Thinking Brain
💛 Complex Trauma & Attachment
🤝 Attachment Styles
🌱 Creating Felt Safety through being reliable and predictable
💬 Connection Before Correction
🫶 Regulate • Relate • Reason
📚 Supporting and teaching children through challenging moments

It was a fantastic opportunity to reflect on what sits behind behaviour and how our responses can help children feel safe, connected, understood and supported. 🌈

👏 Thank you to our incredible team for your commitment to learning, asking questions, sharing your experiences and continuing to strengthen your practice.

🥰 Play. Explore. Laugh. Repeat! 🌿

Today’s outdoor adventures looked a little something like this… crawl through the tunnel, have a swing, chase a ball, explore the yard and of course, stop for a few cheeky smiles along the way! 😄💙

There’s nothing quite like seeing our Kindy crew getting stuck into play, moving their bodies and having fun with their friends.

👖💙 Jeans for Genes Day! 💙👖

Last Friday, we got our denim on and joined in for Jeans for Genes Day! 🧬✨

Our educators and little learners looked amazing in their jeans while helping raise awareness and support children living with genetic diseases. 💙

Thank you to all our wonderful families for getting involved and helping us make the day so special! 🥰👖

💙 Every shape tells a story.

Last week our little learners explored colours, shapes and creativity as they designed their very own collages. There was no right or wrong, just lots of imagination and happy little creators! ✂️✨
