Remember how the presenters on Playschool would chat about a book before and during reading? Book-talk encourages interest, builds reading behaviours and boosts comprehension. Next time you read to a child, try asking things like:
• Would you like to choose a book you know, or a new book?
• Would you like a made-up story, or a book about real facts today?
• Look at the cover – what do you think this one is about?
• What is his/her face telling us?
• What do you think is going to happen next?
• What was your favourite part of the book?
• Who was your favourite character? What did you like about them?
• If you wanted to change the ending of the book to something different, what could have happened instead?

Our teachers attended The Lady Gowrie QLD 2026 Early Childhood Conference, themed "Reignite," in Brisbane on Saturday. This professional development event focused on rejuvenating passion and promoting sustainable, relational, and place-based pedagogy for early childhood teachers. On Friday, our teachers were hosted by like-minded and respected Lady Gowrie services at Ashgrove Memorial Kindergarten and Hillsdon Kindergarten. To our teachers, the amazing team and relief educators who stayed behind to allow this to happen, our Lady Gowrie CGB and the services in Brisbane that we visited, we send our appreciation for your dedication to and advocacy for children, as well as our admiration for the joy you bring to children and your commitment to building strong connections in the sector.

A big thank you to Helen Dawson and the amazing team who create such a warm and inspiring environment for our youngest learners. Their dedication helps children discover a love of learning from the very beginning, while celebrating and nurturing the unique strengths of every child.

It’s fantastic to see early education done so well in our community! 🌟

Separation anxiety is a normal part of development, especially when starting in a new learning environment.

Keep goodbyes short and positive, reassure your child of when you'll return, and talk with educators prior about the best ways to comfort and support them.

Consistent morning routines can help to minimise rushing, which helps everyone feel more relaxed, and chat with your child on the way home to ask about the highlights of their day. This emphasizes the parts they enjoyed, which you can remind them of the next morning.

Finally, remember that it’s okay to ease in gradually. Educators are accustomed to accommodating a wide range of needs right throughout the year, but especially in the early weeks. Goodbyes can feel hard, but there will be an approach that works well for your child, and your family. Together, we've got this!
