Goodstart Early Learning Werribee

Today, our Pre-Kinder children celebrated NAIDOC Week with a special shared experience. The children enjoyed delicious lemon myrtle biscuits, lovingly made by one of our parents specially for children.

As we sat together and tasted the yummy biscuits, we talked about how lemon myrtle comes from a native Australian tree and why native plants are important to Australia’s culture and land. It was a lovely opportunity to slow down, enjoy a treat, and learn about the significance of Australia’s First Nations heritage in a meaningful and age-appropriate way.

Thank you to the lovely parent for helping make this experience so special for our children.

At Goodstart Werribee, we are incredibly thankful to our families who have taken the time to write such beautiful testimonies for our centre and our dedicated staff. Each kind word, thoughtful comment, and heartfelt message means so much to us.
Your feedback is what truly motivates our centre. It reflects the strong relationships we build, the trust you place in us, and the shared commitment we have toward nurturing your children’s growth and wellbeing.
We run on love, care, and genuine partnerships with our beautiful families. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s journey and for reminding our team why we do what we do every single day.

With gratitude,
The Goodstart Werribee Team

Another interesting setup for National Reconciliation Week by our Toddler and Pre-Kinder room, enjoying a meaningful and engaging mark making experience. Children were introduced to a variety of Aboriginal-inspired patterns to explore through mark making. They were also given the choice to paint Australian animals, using the symbolic colours black, yellow and red. This open-ended invitation allowed children to express their creativity while developing fine motor skills and focus.
The children remained deeply engaged in the activity for a long time, showing curiosity, concentration and pride in their creations. Through this experience, children explored art, culture, choice and creativity in a developmentally appropriate and respectful way.
