TG's Child Care and Preschool - High Street Wauchope

TG's Child Care and Preschool - High Street Wauchope TG’s provide child care and pre-school education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. Gayle Kee is a mother, grandmother and working mum. In 1998.

For 20 years, the loving TGs family are the best educators to care and nurture young minds, in a secure, creative environment where Playing is Learning for Life. She knows what it's like trying to be Super-Mum, juggling work and motherhood. With over 32 years as a pre-school teacher, Gayle feels for parents struggling between work, home and raising children. She knows what it's like and wanted to

make a difference, helping parents nurture their children so parents don't feel guilty about working or taking some well-earned time out. That’s how TG’s Child Care and Pre-School was born. TG's provides a nurturing, secure, stimulating environment where Playing is Learning for Life for every child. You and your child are our extended family and that means you can pop in anytime to observe, to share, to chat, and to learn with your child and our educators. At TG’s, our passionate, creative and highly qualified educators work with you to ensure your child develops socially, emotionally, physically and academically, expanding their young, inquiring minds through each developmental milestone. Every child is different so we focus on what each child knows, can do and understand. Their learnings are extended and supported through positive interactions and building relationships with their peers and educators. We believe building relationships, understanding your gifts and collective thinking are the biggest gifts we can give to you and your child. That is why they are our foundations stones so we can consistently provide an environment of love, trust, respect, compassion and fun. When parents walk into our centres, they say they ‘cannot describe what is it about TG’s but it feels so right’. We know it is the all-important ‘parent intuition’ that comes from every protective parent when they want the best for their child – and it cannot be ignored. This ‘feeling’ parents have flows through the indoors and outdoors, in every room and every play space. We know that this feeling comes from a happy and secure environment where Playing is Learning for Life. We believe children learn best when the physical environment supports curiosity with a range of creative opportunities for learning and physical activity, both indoors and outdoors. Trevor Kee is a qualified landscape designer. He challenges himself and his own childlike curiosity to build the most stimulating outdoor play-spaces for your child so the only thing left is to enjoy playing and learning with friends. When we see how they explore, experiment and discover the world around them, we know we have created a little oasis just right for children. TG's success is when each child achieves AND when parents celebrate these achievements right alongside their child - beaming with love, pride and happiness

That is TG’s Way.

Through the relationships they build, the values they model and the way they work together, TG’s Educators create environments where children feel they belong, families feel welcomed, and everyone has opportunities to grow.

When Educators feel valued, trusted and supported to grow, that positive culture flows through to children, families, their teams and the wider community.

Playing is Learning for Life, and our Educators help make that possible every day.

🌸☀️ Welcoming Spring in the Joeys Room! ☀️🌸

The Joeys have been warmly welcoming Spring with plenty of sunshine, laughter, messy play and opportunities to explore their emerging interests! 💚 Over the past couple of days, our educators have been thoughtfully observing the children and intentionally extending on their interests, allowing their ideas and curiosity to guide our experiences.

The children have loved combining their interest in dinosaurs with water play, scooping, pouring, splashing and creating their own imaginative play experiences. 🦖💦 They have also shown a growing interest in cleaning and caring for their environment, eagerly helping educators clean the chairs with buckets of soapy water. 🧽🫧 The warmer weather has provided even more opportunities for fun, with the Joeys dancing under the hose, making big splashes and enjoying plenty of laughter together!

Across both our indoor and outdoor environments, the children have been encouraged to make choices, follow their interests and confidently express their ideas, supporting their autonomy, agency, wellbeing and sense of belonging. 🌱 Through these everyday moments, the Joeys are developing as confident and involved learners, while building connections with their friends, educators and environment.

It has been a beautiful few days filled with curiosity, connection, messy hands, big splashes and lots of happy memories! 💚🌸🦖

🔬 Curious minds have been very busy at TG’s Child Care High Street!

The September newsletter is full of TG’s Way in action, with educators following children’s interests and turning their curiosity into opportunities to explore, experiment, create and grow.

🐻 The Joeys brought We’re Going on a Bear Hunt to life through sensory play, art and movement, before becoming little scientists with some wonderfully bubbly and messy experiments.

🦋 The Boaties have explored Australian birds, ocean animals, butterflies, numbers, science, art and more, following their curiosity wherever it takes them.

🎒 And in Preschool, school readiness is about so much more than ABCs and 123s. Fine motor play, climbing, balancing, movement and open-ended loose parts are helping children build independence, coordination, creativity, problem-solving and confidence.

Because at TG’s, Playing is Learning for Life. 💜

🌸 Welcoming Spring in the Preschool Room🌸

The children have enjoyed sharing their ideas about what this wonderful season brings:

🌼 “Flowers!”
🐣 “Baby birds!”
🦋 “Butterflies!”
🏖️ “We go to the beach and go swimming!”

Inspired by these conversations, we have been providing lots of fun and engaging spring experiences that encourage creativity, curiosity and plenty of imagination! We can’t wait to continue exploring all the wonderful changes spring brings. 🌱☀️

This learning connects with Quality Area 1 – Educational Program and Practice, as our program responds to the children’s voices, ideas and interests.

At TG’s, responsibility is also about discovering that you have something valuable to contribute.

That is TG’s Way, where Trust gives children opportunities to participate meaningfully in the everyday life of their TG’s community.

Children might help prepare a shared space, care for resources, welcome someone into play, or notice when a friend needs a helping hand.

Through these moments, TG’s Educators observe children developing:
• awareness of how their actions affect others
• cooperation and consideration
• a growing sense of belonging and contribution

The outcome goes beyond independence. Children begin to understand, “I am capable, I belong here, and I can make a difference.”

That sense of responsibility helps nurture the compassionate, contributing community members of tomorrow.

This is Playing is Learning for Life.

Children develop agency and a sense of connectedness as active contributors to their world.

What a fantastic Book Week we have had in the Boaties Room! 📚✨

The week was filled with excitement, imagination and plenty of fun as the children arrived dressed in their wonderful costumes, bringing their favourite book characters to life. It was lovely to see the children's confidence shine as they shared their costumes with their friends and educators.

Throughout the week we enjoyed a variety of hands-on experiences inspired by some of our favourite stories. The children loved going on a bear hunt, creating colourful fish artwork, making their own Colour Monsters, searching for the Green Sheep and exploring many other activities linked to the books we have been reading together.

We spent lots of time reading and revisiting favourite stories, singing songs, engaging in creative art experiences and using our imaginations through play. The children showed great enthusiasm as they explored the characters, settings and themes from different books, extending their learning through art, discussion and hands-on exploration.

Book Week has been a wonderful celebration of literacy, creativity and imagination. It has been amazing to see the joy and excitement that books bring to the children as they listened to stories, explored new ideas and shared their love of reading with one another. We have had so much fun celebrating the magic of books together and creating many special memories along the way! 📖🌟

This week's experiences supported children's learning through literacy, creativity, communication and imaginative play. These experiences align with the National Quality Standard, particularly Quality Area 1: Educational Program and Practice, as children engaged in meaningful learning experiences based on books and storytelling, and Quality Area 5: Relationships with Children, as they shared ideas, participated in group experiences and celebrated Book Week together in a positive and inclusive environment. 📚✨

🐒🚚🦖 Following Children’s Interests Through Play & Learning

Over the past three days, our curriculum has continued to evolve in response to the children’s emerging interests, favourite stories and engagement in play. Educators have intentionally extended these interests through creative experiences, dramatic play, movement and group learning opportunities.

🐒 Wednesday | Five Cheeky Monkeys
Following the children’s ongoing love of Five Cheeky Monkeys, we extended this interest by creating our own monkeys jumping on beds. We then brought the familiar rhyme to life through dramatic play, using monkey masks and one of our mattresses to role-play the story. This was a huge interest for the children, with lots of excitement, laughter and participation as they jumped, moved and joined in with the familiar words and actions.

🚚 Thursday | Exploring Trucks
Our interest in trucks has continued to grow through the different truck books we have been sharing together. The children created their own trucks, making choices about the pieces and colours they wanted to use before putting their creations together. We also watched a truck video as a group, which captured the children’s attention and created lots of excitement as they watched the different trucks in action!

🦖 Friday | Dinosaur Discovery
Today, we extended the children’s love of dinosaurs and our dinosaur stories. After reading together, the children were invited to create their own dinosaurs by choosing, positioning and gluing the different dinosaur pieces onto their page. This provided opportunities for creativity, decision-making, fine motor development and lots of conversations around our favourite dinosaurs.

These experiences highlight the importance of a child-led and responsive curriculum, where educators observe children’s interests and use these as a foundation to intentionally plan and extend learning in meaningful and engaging ways. 🌿
