Hello everyone from our Daisy Hill Early Learning Centre!
Daisy Hill ELC would like to respectfully acknowledge the Yugambeh people, the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we live. We also recognise those whose ongoing efforts to protect and promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures will leave a lasting legacy for future Elders and leaders.
News from The Office
We would like to extend a warm welcome to our new families that have recently joined us. Thank you for choosing to join our community. We trust that we will keep moving forward in a positive direction for another wonderful year.
We had an amazing Easter Bonnet parade in which all of the children looked wonderful in their Easter bonnets they had created in the weeks and days leading up to the parade.
Do you have an idea or interest that you would like to share with us?
Our centre would not be what it is without the support from our wonderful families and staff so we would love to hear from you. Singing, dancing, gardening, book reading! It doesn’t matter, your skills are required!
Please speak to Rachael if you would like to discuss helping us out.
Play is fun!
We aim to offer high-quality programs for children, balancing child-led experiences and intentional teaching by our educators. We deliver engaging experiences through play with children.
I have been having a few similar conversations with families of late in regard to scaffolding children’s learning and ensuring that children are well-prepared learners as they move towards prep programs. Trust us, we do.
We are advocates of learning through play. We are regulated by the Early Years Learning Framework and Kindergarten program and this is reflected in our practices. Play is the foundation for children’s well-being and emotional strength. Play allows children the opportunity to showcase their outstanding ability for exploration, imagination, creative ability and development.
ANZAC Day
Anzac Day, 25 April, is one of Australia’s most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
When soldiers from all over the country went to fight together at Gallipoli, a common bond was formed. Every Australian back home felt immense pride in the young soldiers who showed such amazing courage in battle.
This is what the ANZAC spirit is about. It is the heart, the very essence of our nation.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
Friendly Reminder
The cooler weather is upon us. The afternoons and early mornings are getting a little chilly. Please remember to pack your child a jumper for these times. Children are still required to bring in a drink bottle, sheets, hat and spare clothes to care each day.
