Bridge Kids Early Learning Centre

Winter bugs tend to love this time of year, so we’re sharing a few friendly reminders to help keep our centre communities well.

With June also marking CMV Awareness Month, it’s a good time to remember how much everyday hygiene habits matter and can make a big difference — like washing hands with soap and water, keeping drink bottles and dummies separate, and giving children time to rest when they’re unwell.

Thanks in advance for helping us look after one another this winter!

Sushi chefs in the making! 🍣😊
Our 3–4 Year Kinder children had so much fun during this week's cooking class, creating their very own sushi. There were lots of eager little hands rolling, filling and carefully putting together their delicious creations. The biggest smiles came when it was finally time to taste all of their hard work.

Another delicious week has been served up by Chef Krystal! 👩‍🍳💚
From creamy chicken and garden vegetable soup with garlic bread to sticky apricot chicken, homemade pizza pinwheels and warm mixed berry crumble pots. Needless to say, there were some very happy tummies around the centre this week.

What a wonderful day for a park adventure! 🌳😊
Our Nursery and Toddler children loved getting out into the community to celebrate World Environment Day. There were swings to enjoy, ducks to spot, bridges to cross and plenty of opportunities to explore the world around us.The fun continued with dancing and colourful scarves, creating lots of giggles as they floated through the air. It was a joyful day of movement, discovery and making memories together.

Babychinos and fish spotting made for a pretty exciting excursion! ☕🐟
Our Kindergarten 1 children headed over to McDonald's with Teachers Anu and Alana, enjoying babychinos together and stopping to admire the large fish tank along the way. There were lots of frothy milk moustaches, curious little faces and happy chats as everyone took in the adventure.

Pencils at the ready! ✏️😊
Kindergarten 1 have been busy practising their letter tracing and writing skills as part of our Flying Start to School program. There were lots of focused faces as the children worked on recognising letters, building pencil control and having a go at early writing. It has been so lovely watching their confidence grow as they get ready for their next big step to school.

Another delicious week has been served up by Chef Krystal! 👩‍🍳💛
From Mediterranean pizza and honey soy lamb stir fry to creamy pasta bakes and berry yoghurt muesli cups, there has been plenty on the menu for the children to enjoy this week.
Through our Nutrition for Life program, the children are introduced to a variety of fresh ingredients and flavours, with some very happy little foodies around the centre this week.

A little science magic had everyone amazed! 🧪✨
The children explored what happens when dishwashing liquid is added to water, watching closely as the pepper quickly moved across the surface. There were lots of excited reactions as everyone observed the changes right before their eyes.

Following our recent butterfly incursion, the butterfly conversations definitely continued around the room! 🦋🎨
The children jumped straight into butterfly painting experiences, creating beautiful colourful butterflies of their own. Each one turned out completely unique, just like the real butterflies we spotted during our special visit.
