Prime Minister announcement for Early Childhood Sector.

This afternoon the Prime Minister made an announcement regarding funding of the Early Childhood sector. It looks like a very welcome package for both families and the ELC. I will push out more information as it becomes available, but meanwhile the statement can be read by clicking here.  

A week in the ELC

The ELC has continued to operate as 'normal' over this last week, being a place of routine and fun for our children who are here. The reduced number of children has meant we have combined classes and had opportunities to be creative in managing physical distancing and lock down. The highlight this week has been visiting Fred Ward Gardens, singing and dancing for the residents through the community room window. Fred Wards is currently in lock down and this act of kindness from our children bought many smiles to the faces of the residents. (see photo below)

We celebrated Alex, George's, Sam's and Mrs Angus' birthday with streamers, cake and a jumping castle (we can still party at preschool!)

Rain may instil dread in teachers and parents stuck indoors, but we donned our all weather gear, played outside and laughed at the rain.
