Goodstart Early Learning Chadstone

Today, our toddler children took a big step outside the centre to explore the Scotchman’s Creek Trail heading toward O.T. Flight Reserve.

From the moment we left, our little ones were filled with wonder. We used all of our senses to connect with the local environment:
🍂 Scrunching, throwing, and listening to the crunch of autumn leaves.
🪵 Touching tree stumps and admiring the beautiful maple trees.
🌲 Looking up at a giant pine tree and collecting pine cones as special treasures to take home.
🎶 Sharing quiet moments in nature and playing a fun game of “Ring-a-Ring o’ Roses.”

Building confidence for the big leap! 🚀

Today’s visit to Malvern Valley Primary School is a core part of our School Readiness Program.
We are thrilled to have these monthly visits as a permanent fixture in our curriculum, helping our Kinder children build genuine confidence and familiarity with the school environment.

From card-making with student mentors to exploring the "big" playground and meeting the Principal, our children are learning that school is a place of fun and discovery! 🏫✨

A huge thank you to the Malvern Valley Primary community for being such welcoming partners in our children’s learning journey.

We love seeing these friendships and connections grow every month! 🌱🤝

3… 2… 1… BLAST OFF! 🚀✨

To extend our learning program and children's interest in space, we recently welcomed the Museums Victoria Outreach Program to our centre for an incredible day of STEM discovery! 🌌

Our Kinder scientists dove deep into the wonders of space, learning all about the solar system and even launching their very own rockets. The exploration didn’t stop there—the children also got hands-on with "robotic cars," exploring the basics of coding, technology, and movement in a fun, interactive way. 🤖🏎️

By extending our program with world-class incursions like this, we provide our children with unique, hands-on experiences that bring their interests to life. A huge thank you to the Museums Victoria team for bringing the universe to us! 🌠

Empowering our children to find their voice! 🗣️💛

Today, our Kindergarteners participated in a protective strategies experience. We read story “My Body” to help children recognise that they have the right to set boundaries and that their private parts are private.

By equipping children with the correct language and a strong safety network, we are fostering a culture of security and self-respect.
