Dear Valued Kidi Kingdom Families,

The team at Kidi Kingdom Child Care Coomera are an amazing group of educators. As the new Educational Leader, I have observed the high quality care provided to each individual child.

Using the National Quality Framework as a foundation in the programs for the children to reach their full potential in their skills.

A highlight for all was the immensely successful Grandparents Day, where the warmth and love shared between generations created lasting memories.

At Kidi Kingdom, our focus remains unwaveringly on the growth and happiness of our children. It is heartwarming to witness our little ones blossom each day and I am excited about the wonderful learning adventures that lie ahead.

Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of nurturing your children. Here's to a season of growth, creativity, and endless possibilities!

Kind Regards, Ms Louisa Mitchell Educational Program Leader.

Hello Early Learners Families,

Welcome to our Early Learners Classroom! Over the past few months our Early Learners children have been very busy exploring lots of different events and learning opportunities. We have enjoyed celebrating Science Week, Book Week, Maori Week, Water Week, Children's Week, Halloween and Nutrition Week.

We also explored the children's current interests in jungle animals and shapes. To explore these topics and events we had costume dress ups, themed sensory trays, water play in our water park, craft activities and many more educational experiences. We celebrated each event with the appropriate stories and songs as well as having lots of fun dancing.

We are very excited to explore bugs, insects and our garden environment this month before moving onto every child's favourite time of year, Christmas time! The children will be participating in singing and dancing, Christmas carols, Christmas themed artwork and learning about the gift of giving by creating special handmade presents for their loved ones. We have some exciting sensory and water play planned so that the children can strengthen their fine and gross motor skills. We have Christmas themed puzzles and cognitive development activities planned also.

If any parents would like to participate by sharing ideas or input into our curriculum for the early learners' children, please see either Miss Courtney or Miss Amie.

Kind Regards, Ms. Courtney and Ms. Amie

Hello Valued Junior Early Years Families,

I would like to start by welcoming a number of amazing children and their families into the Junior Early Years classroom! The children have all developed new friendships and relationships with all their peers and educators in the classroom.

The last few months we have been very busy as we have been focusing on so many exciting topics!

The children love and have shown an interest in our flourishing garden this spring. To extend on the children's interests we have planted some flowers, peas, basil, mint and tomatoes to take advantage of this blooming season. To extend on this emerging interest we focused on reducing, recycling, and reusing. This year we grew the plants from last year's seeds and we used the leftover water from the drinking containers and rainwater. The children watered the garden and have been looking after the plants with lots of care and love. This is a great opportunity for the children to connect with and care for the environment.

We also celebrated lots of events and birthdays such as Grandparents Day, Father's Day, Diwali, Recycling Week, Space Week, and many more by engaging with arts and crafts, cooking, sustainability, and sensory activities.

Recently, we celebrated Halloween where all the children and educators dressed up and had so much fun with spooky themed experiences. We are very excited about upcoming events, especially Christmas. We have begun our preparations and selected the types of gifts we will be making for our loved ones.

A big thank you to all of our families and community for your ongoing support. It is wonderful to have such positive relationships with you all in order to appropriately support your child in their developmental journey.

Kind Regards, Ms Puneet, Ms Mia and Ms Brodye.

Hello Senior Early Years Families,

In the magical realm of our Senior Early Years class, we have experienced a truly enchanting spring. Embracing the theme "Spring has Sprung", our focus extended from the lively plants and blossoms in our garden to the fluttering birds and buzzing insects that thrive in the springtime symphony.

Diving into the wonders of our very own Kidi Kingdom garden, we embarked on an exploration of the marvellous mint plant. As a united class we plucked mint leaves, revelled in their invigorating scent, and even dared to taste the minty freshness. Transforming these aromatic leaves into vibrant green stamps, we embarked on a collective artistic journey, imprinting our shared joy on paper.

Our creative escapades didn't stop there. We delved into the world of blooming flowers. Using recycled hand rollers, we breathed new life into old materials crafting stunning flower art that mirrored the beauty of spring. To engage our senses and induce relaxation, we indulged in the soothing aroma of dried flower-infused bath bombs and bath salts, creating a sensory retreat that transported us to a realm of tranquillity.

Taking our artistic endeavours outdoors, we channelled our inner Van Gogh, painting flowers on the pavement with paintbrushes and creating a water-flower masterpiece. The vibrant hues echoed the blossoms that adorned our surroundings turning our school grounds into an open-air gallery.

Not forgetting the humble apple, we explored its secrets by making prints and observing the tiny seeds within. Each piece of apple art became a canvas for our imagination, a celebration of nature's creativity.

As Spring unfolded its petals, it wasn't just the plants and animals around us that grew. Each child in the class began to blossom into their unique selves. We are like little buds, unfolding and growing into something wonderful.

With December just around the corner, our focus has shifted to the spirit of Christmas. As we eagerly anticipate the festive season, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the inspiring presence of the Kidi Kingdom community and families. Spring has indeed been a time of growth and joy in Kidi Kingdom, and we eagerly look forward to the enchantment that the holiday season will bring.

Kind Regards, Ms Louisa and Ms Astrid.

Hello Kidi Kingdom Kindergarten Families,

It has been a magical past 3 months in the kindergarten room! As we enter the warmer seasons of the year, the children have taken advantage of the lovely sunshine days by playing in our awesome waterpark.

To celebrate the blossoming spring season we have been exploring our garden and the tiny beasts that live in our backyard environments, the highlight of this topic was using our sensory tray to create a small world of insects and pretend worms made out of pasta, the children used tweezers and magnifying glasses to make their own scientific observations.

Another highlight of the season was celebrating the spooky halloween season in october, the children dressed up in their scariest costumes! A fan favourite activity for this occasion was making little spiders out of poms poms and pipe cleaners.

Now that the much anticipated christmas season is approaching, we are all excited to prepare for the wonderful festive season. The children have already started giving our classroom a merry makeover by creating beautiful decorations to display around the room for all of our friends and family to see.

We look forward to seeing our loved ones into our beautifully festive kindergarten room for our graduation party as well as our annual christmas party!

Kind Regards, Ms Harman, Ms Simone and Ms Amber.

Welcome Valued Families of School Care,

The School children have been showing great responsibility during their time at our centre. Role-modelling good choices with the younger age groups and helping our educators set up fun and challenging obstacle courses for outdoor play.

We have been focusing on road safety with the School Children, with an emphasis on looking both ways for cars, listening to directions from Ms Rach when transporting them from Kidi Kingdom to School.

As Christmas is approaching, we are looking forward to planning some exciting activities for the vacation care period!

Kind Regards, Ms Rachael and Ms Eve.
