Goodstart Early Learning Labrador - Olsen Avenue

Our nursery children showed incredible imagination and teamwork during their sandplay adventure. As they filled, emptied, and transferred sand, they strengthened motor skills, explored problem‑solving, and discovered the joy of building and knocking down their own sandcastles. A simple patch of sand became a world of creativity, cooperation, and endless possibilities. 🌟🏖️

Our nursery children were ready for take‑off as they proudly collected their “frequent flyer points” on an imaginative adventure in our homemade box aeroplanes. With cardboard wings, big smiles, and even bigger imaginations, they soared through the day on a journey fuelled by creativity, teamwork, and play. ✈️✨

What better way to begin the day than gathered together for a shared story among friends. These moments do more than bring joy they nurture growing language skills, strengthen concentration and attention, and build a lifelong love and respect for books. A simple story can spark imagination, connection, and curiosity, setting the tone for a meaningful day of learning.

The joy of messy play filled our morning today. Our young friends eagerly joined in a vibrant box‑painting experience, exploring paint stamps, colour mixing, and the magic of creating their own patterns. The children experimented with different motions and tools, discovering how colours blend and how textures appear on the cardboard. It was a beautiful moment of creativity, curiosity, and hands‑on learning.

Our ever curious toddlers made an exciting discovery during outdoor play today a tiny caterpillar inching its way through the garden. With gentle hands and big, fascinated eyes, they carefully transferred their new friend into a bug catcher. This allowed them to observe it safely up close, sparking conversations, wonder, and plenty of “oohs” and “wows.” Moments like these remind us how powerful hands‑on exploration can be in nurturing a lifelong love of nature.

Our kindergarten was buzzing with excitement today as the children prepared for our upcoming trip to Musgrave Hill State School for Under 8s Day. Using recycled boxes, chairs and plenty of imagination, they built their very own “school bus” and set off on playful adventures to the beach, the shops, and even handled a pretend flat tyre with impressive teamwork.

Their enthusiasm for “big school” inspired a burst of creativity, with many children designing their own backpacks from upcycled materials and cardboard boxes. One child proudly declared that becoming an Uber Eats delivery driver was an even better career path, joyfully delivering “orders” around the yard on a scooter board.

It was a day full of imagination, laughter and big dreams all the things we love to see in our Kindy community.

Our Nursery children had a wonderful time celebrating Sea Turtle Day by creating their own special paper plate turtles through a fun and creative collage activity. As they explored different textures, colours, and materials, the children developed their fine motor skills, creativity, and hand-eye coordination.

During this engaging experience, we also discovered an interesting fact about the difference between turtles and tortoises. The children learned that tortoises have sturdy feet, similar to an elephants, and live on land, while turtles have flippers and are excellent swimmers, perfectly suited to life in the water.

It was a fantastic opportunity to combine creativity, learning, and curiosity as we celebrated these amazing creatures of the sea.

Our Nursery children love expressing themselves through art, exploring their creativity in fun and meaningful ways. Through a variety of hands-on artistic experiences, they develop fine motor skills, enhance cognitive development, and build confidence as they create, imagine, and express their unique ideas.

If you would like your little one to be part of the fun, we warmly invite you to take a tour and see the enjoyment for yourself. Visit us at 120 Olsen Avenue, Labrador, or call us on (07) 5594 6034 to learn more.
