Everlearn Preschool - Prestons

World Dinosaur Day was full of prehistoric fun, learning, and adventure 🦖✨
The children became little palaeontologists as they dug up dinosaur bones, explored dinosaur-themed activities, and discovered fascinating facts about these incredible creatures.
There was plenty of roaring as the children stomped, moved, and roared like dinosaurs, using their imaginations and gross motor skills.
They also got creative by painting dinosaur eggs and practised their early numeracy skills through counting activities using dinosaurs.
A roaringly fun day of exploration, creativity, and learning through play.

We were excited to welcome Recycle Man to our centre for a fun and interactive sustainability incursion ♻️

The children learned all about recycling, why it is important, and how we can all help care for our environment through our everyday actions.
The visit was filled with engaging experiences, including a Didgeridoo performance, a Paper Rescue Mission, Storytime, and a Symbol Hunt, where the children explored recycling symbols and learned how to identify recyclable materials.
It was wonderful to see the children so engaged as they developed their understanding of sustainability and discovered how small actions can make a big difference for our planet.
A big thank you to for sharing such valuable knowledge in a fun, hands-on, and memorable way.

During National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week, we have been taking time to learn about the importance of respect, connection, and understanding 🖤💛❤️

Through stories, discussions, art experiences, and meaningful learning opportunities, the children explored the importance of recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, histories, and contributions.

We engaged in activities that encouraged a sense of belonging, kindness, and appreciation for the rich cultures that have been shared on this land for generations. Together, we reflected on how we can build respectful relationships and work towards a future of unity and reconciliation.

A meaningful week of learning, listening, and growing together as a community.

World Turtle Day was a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn about these amazing creatures and their habitats 🐢
Through books, discussions, creative experiences, and hands-on activities, the children explored where turtles live, what they eat, and why it is important to protect them and their environment.
The children enjoyed creating turtle-themed artwork, engaging in sensory play, and using their imaginations as they learned more about life above and below the water.
A fun-filled day of learning, creativity, and discovery while building awareness about the importance of caring for our wildlife and oceans.

National Simultaneous Storytime was a wonderful celebration of reading, imagination, and connection 📚
The children joined thousands of other children across Australia to share the same story at the same time, celebrating the joy of books and storytelling together.
Through shared reading experiences, discussions, and related activities, the children explored the story, used their imaginations, and developed a love of literacy and learning.
A special day that highlights the power of stories to bring people together and inspire young minds.

National Road Safety Week gave us the opportunity to learn about staying safe on and around our roads 🚦🚗
Through discussions, games, creative experiences, and role play, the children explored important road safety concepts such as stopping, looking, listening, using crossings, and staying safe as pedestrians.
These hands-on learning experiences helped the children develop an understanding of how we can all work together to stay safe in our community.
A fun and meaningful week of learning that supports lifelong safety habits.

On Thursday, we came together for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea ☕💛

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and supported this wonderful cause. Your kindness and generosity helped make the day so special while supporting an incredibly important fundraiser 🌿

A very special shout out to our educators, who worked so hard preparing and organising all of the delicious food, while also promoting and supporting the cause throughout the fundraiser. We truly appreciate all the time, care, and effort that went into making the day such a success ✨

The children also loved enjoying some yummy treats and sharing in this special experience together 🧁💛

It was a beautiful morning filled with community, connection, and support for a meaningful cause 💛

One of the focus areas we explore here at Everlearn Preschool is sustainability 🌏💚

Sustainability begins with our everyday practices, the way we run our centre, and the routines and experiences we provide for the children each day 🌿♻️

Throughout the year, we engage in a variety of projects focused on reducing waste, recycling, reusing materials, and developing sustainable learning practices. From exploring nature to caring for our outdoor spaces, the children are developing an understanding of how small actions can help make a big difference ✨

Recently, the children have been collecting bottle lids and yoghurt caps to reuse within learning experiences. Our Navy Room has also been incorporating cardboard, leaves, and reusable bags into their play and learning, while exploring the importance of saving water by turning off dripping taps 🌱
Next, the children will begin creating cars and birds using recycled materials such as egg cartons, milk cartons, bottle caps, and popsicle sticks.

We love watching the children become thoughtful, capable, and environmentally aware learners through these meaningful experiences 🌿

School Photo Day was filled with smiles, laughter, and lots of excitement 📸✨
The children had so much fun taking photos with their friends and educators, and it was so special seeing their personalities and big smiles shine throughout the morning 💛
Everyone did an amazing job participating, and we are so proud of how confident and happy the children were during the experience 🌿
A big thank you to .photography for making the day feel so fun, calm, and enjoyable for our children 📷✨
We can’t wait to see the beautiful memories captured today 💕

International Nurses Day at our centre was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the important role nurses play in caring for and helping others 💉💛
The children enjoyed dressing up as nurses and exploring different medical tools and equipment, learning about what nurses use and how they help keep people safe and healthy 🩺✨
Through imaginative play, discussions, and hands-on experiences, the children developed an appreciation for the kindness, care, and hard work nurses show every day 🌿
A fun and meaningful day celebrating our everyday heroes 💙
